Stylization of cultural diversity and archetypes in group “races” By the storyteller “Abdul Amir Al-Majjar”

Abstract

The research studies the short story collection “Races,” the title of which refers directly to the term “race” or “ethnology,” the science founded by Western thinkers to study the heritage, cultures, and natures of primitive peoples or ancient civilizations. In my narrative analysis, I sense the idea that social and cultural effects are not reflected in the mirror of literature, including the story theory. Directly, stylization enters the “paradox of narrative formation” as a mediator between them, which requires a symbolic and aesthetic appreciation of those effects. Thus, the relationship between stories and cultural meaning is one of accumulation of interpretations between the two specializations.
