Abstract 
As various fields of knowledge develop, interdisciplinary studies become more prominent. During the recent five decades, the concept of social capital has drawn high attention in humanities including literature studies. Literature like a mirror reflects the characteristics of social relationships among individuals in a society. The purpose of this research is to reveal the manifestations of social capital in the novel " Sayyidat al-Qamar" written by "Jokha Al-Harithi", a contemporary Omani writer who was born in Oman in 1978, and his novel won the "Man Booker" international prize in 2019. The focus of the novel " Sayyidat al-Qamar" is the life of three sisters, their families, and social changes in Oman. This research was conducted based on the descriptive-analytical method using the content analysis method. Findings indicated that almost all the components of social capital as norms were found in the text. Furthermore, some norm indicators such as cooperation and social support had higher frequency compared to other indicators.

Abstract
Algirdas Julien Greimas is famous for developing the Actantial Model, a narrative strategy that addresses characters’ actions and behaviors. Action determines the form and type of events and phenomena including animate creatures, objects, animals, an idea, and everything that exerts influence on the world of the narrative text. The Actantial Model has six components: The subject, an object, The sender, the receiver, a helper, and an opponent. These six actants form three axes of description: The axis of desire, The axis of power, and the axis of transmission. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the textual richness of Al-Hariri’s Samarqandiya Maqamat which has attracted numerous readers. The Actantial Model is applied to Samarqandiya Maqamat based on the dual relationships between the six components, each of which plays more than one role in their relationships.
