المفارقات الزمنية في رواية ذاكرة ذات لطاهر بن طاهر

Abstract

Temporal paradoxes are a form of dissonance practiced by the narrator on the systems of the sequence of narrative events, their chronological order, and his narration of passages, including the deviations in them, to achieve the intended purpose and to embody the reader’s subjective aesthetic vision.

Given the importance of the topic, the choice was made to study (Temporal Paradoxes in the Novel Memory of the Same) by Al-Taher bin Taher, known for his modernist circles of theory and creativity, and the taste and brilliance this character possesses in choosing the word and his use of paradoxes of all kinds: internal and external through the technique of retrieval, as well as the technique of anticipation. Which constitutes the overall view of the future, and seeing the event before its actual occurrence through symbols, signs, and allusions, and the technique of accelerating and slowing down the narrative, and the scene and the descriptive incident, using the descriptive and analytical approach. The novel is a mixture of times linked to places that touch the inner monologue of the self, and reflects a deep view of the events through Several techniques, including: introduction, delay, and moving from one character to another, and from one place to another. The most important results of this study are the following:

1- The writer began with the flashback technique at the beginning of his novel and ended with it, and this is what is known as (the circular novel).

2- In his novel, the writer relied on returning memory to the past and recalling ancient archaeological sites, to reflect their depth in the present time.

3- Anticipation works to consolidate the event and prepare for new events to come in the future. The writer also excelled in using the dialogue scene in a regular and consistent manner between the fictional characters
