    Akram Hanyah:A Study in his Short Stories
    (2003) Abdullah Mohammad Mustafa Al-Awad; Prof. Adel Mustafa Al- Osta
    This study aims at shedding light on the side of art pertaining to Palestinian nanator Akram Haniyeh, being considered as one of the most important story writers in Palestine; and the dissertation has been divided into four sections as follows: Section one includes three subjects: the first of them tackled with his life; whereas the second dealt with studying the reality of Palestinian short story until the publishing of his group; and the third of them was concerned with the most important studies of analysis in pertinence with the author’s books. And I found out that most of them took place about the motif of the story since it is worth noting that the studies that tackled the title; or the technical form; or the language; or the place are actually few. Concerning the second section, I have taken in it the study of the titles in groups of stories. I have saved a special space in it for the study of titles in groups of stories; and titles in his stories; as well as another side in which I have taken the ingredients of the titles and their features. Thus, I have found that the writer chooses a title of a story in his stories so as to influence on the whole group according to considerations special for him; whereas the title ranges between the traditional form and the modernized one. In respect of the third section, it dealt with the most important subjects that appeared in the writer’s stories. I have found that the national subject is the dominating on them. And I have divided it into four axes: I have tackled in the first axis of them the Arab subject; in the second, the Palestinian reality under the occupation; in the third, the woman in the stories of the writer; whereas the last axis has shown the image of the Jew. In fact, I have found that the author has depicted the reality of oppression and chasing in the Arab World. He showed his negative position in this reality; and he described the hardness of life and its harshness under occupation. He revealed the atrocities of occupation for the purpose of usurpation of the Palestinian land. For this purpose, he has emerged a negative image for the Jew, which was restricted on the soldier who pulls out his weapon in the face of the Palestinian and destroys the land or captures it. This type of imagery in the his stories never changed even until after the signing of agreements with the Israeli side. The fourth section dealt with the study of the technical traits. It actually included two topics: The first of them, the ways of narrating. The second of them specialized with the study of technical phenomena in his stories. I have found that the writer has diversified in the methods of narration. He did not depend on the conventional pattern in the structure of his stories. He has in fact searched out for modern, good formulas and ways. Therefore, he has aimed for experimentation throughout the pattern of cutting and benefiting from his work in press. fle has employed history and legacy. He used an austere style in directing attention for what might occur. Pertaining to the language of story-telling, the writer has varied in its implementation and usage between classical, ordinary language and the romantic, transparent one which comes closer and closer to the spirit of poetry. Concerning the place in the stories of the writer, I have found that the city and urban life have come into existence more than that in the village and rural one. The space of the camp was absent; and the place, to which the author is affiliated to intimately and positively, has actually emerged; whereas the place, to which the writer is not affiliate with, has been shown in a negative shape. I hope that my study has added something to the Palestinian literature. I wish it might be an inception for a return to the interest in the Palestinian short story; i.e. the narrative in general after the apparent retreat by writers, literary people at present in contrary to the stage of the 1980’s; especially it, I mean the narrative, is more capable to cope with the drastic events that the Arab & Palestinian region witnesses in specific.
