READING SOLUTIONS: AN ATTEMPT TO INTERPRETE READING TEXTS

Western critical theories, like every scientific effort, are a human product that seeks to provide reading strategies that can be drawn upon to comprehend meanings of the read text. This does not hide their composition in a cultural, intellectual and literary soil specific to them. At the hands of many of our Arab critics - in dealing with Arabic literary texts, they fabricated the text in order to fit with the Western critical theories. This observation was the motive for assuming that the literary text has the right of its people to derive from its cultural soil a reading strategy that suits its aesthetic ambition and its semantic loads within what we call the “personality of the literary text.” In such a context, the researcher proposed reading solutions as a reading approach to understand our Arabic literary texts in which two goals are mixed i.e., an interpretive and a creative goal.
