Abstract
Stream of consciousness is an innovative literary technique used frequently by modernist novelists and short story writers. It plays a significant role in reflecting the narrators’ and characters’ psychological and emotional status. Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is an ancient field of entertainment to make intricate designs. Nowadays, Origami has achieved new aspects and dimensions as contemporary artist draw on it in order to utilize it in conceptual and practical arts. Sanaa Shalan, a contemporary Jordanian writer, has rewritten the “Forgetfulness Realized It” story primarily based on the stream-of-consciousness technique to narrate the suffering and pain of living in contemporary societies. This story has thirty parts, each of which begins with a star origami. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the stream of consciousness in the origami at the beginning of each part based on William James’ ideas. It pinpoints how interior monologue, lyricism, association, psychological characteristics, soliloquy, and symbols can display the psychological problems of the characters in Shalan’s story.

Abstract
British sociologist Catherine Hakim first utilized the term sexual capital and its types in social life and the balance between men and women. In 2011, he presented his theory in Sweet Money, the Power of Sexual Capital. Her theory is one of the most recent theories in contemporary sociology. Pierre Bourdieu, the French sociologist believed that human capital is a dynamic one. In addition to economic capital, we also have cultural and social capital. Taking advantage of him, Catherine Hakim propounded the fourth capital, sexual capital. According to Hakim, this capital has six indicators and these components can be more in many cultures. Since literature plays a significant role in reflecting the culture of any society and its thoughts and beliefs, fictional literature is no exception to these rules. Based on this principle, in this research, by using a descriptive-analytical method and using library sources, the components of sexual capital Sabaya Sanja novel by Salim Barkat (a Syrian writer) have been analyzed. The result of this research has shown that the components of beauty and sexual attractiveness and the way of appearing in the society for women, and the social component and vitality for men have been more reflected in this novel. Also, the author has not portrayed erotic relations and the related issues in the novel.
