Algerian literary production has begun to embrace new experiences, moving beyond the local sphere toward the horizons of world literature. Among these genres is the detective novel, where detective narrative intertwines with the characteristics of dramatic art—the latter dominating its themes and artistic structure. One of the contemporary novels that embodies this intricate blend is "Patient No. 12" by the Algerian writer Moumena Nourhane. This work serves as the focus of our research, titled: "The Dramatic Dimension in the Detective Novel: The Novel 'Patient No. 12' by Moumena Nourhane as a Model." In light of the above, this study seeks to identify the manifestation of dramatic dimensions within this novel and to investigate the structural and semantic mechanisms that functionally deepen and serve the overall dramatic effect of this creative narrative text.otherDramaStructureDramatic ConfigurationDetective NovelThesis
