The systemic hero or narrative actor in Ayyām al-ʿArab; The Book of Aljomhera fi Ayyām al-ʿArab by Omar bin Shabba al-Numairi al-Basri as a case study
Auras Nassif Jassim Mohammed ,
Volume 3, Issue 1 (4-2022)
Abstract
 The hero is the main character in an imaginary story. The use of this term has decreased in modern narrative studies, because of its ambiguity and the difficulty in knowing it. And the presence of the main narrative actor in the days of the Arabs in general, and the audience of Ibn Sheba in particular - along with other characters - is more important than the event in the narrative structure of the news sometimes.
I divided the research into two axes, according to the types of narrative actor in the book of Jamharat Ibn Shabba: The first of them was concerned with the disclosure of the fair narrative actor, and what he obtained from a cultural absence that was practiced by the authoritarian culture discourse, and represents this hero (Al-Barraq bin Rouhan), and the second axis of the research has been presented Dualism (steadfastness and transformation) in the personality of the narrative actor, represented by two characters (Kulaib and Muhallal).
 

Female Heroism in The Blue-Collar Girl
Zohreh Ghorbani Madavani, Masoumeh Mikaeili,
Volume 4, Issue 1 (12-2022)
Abstract
A significant concern in literary studies is the rights and status of women. The image of women in literature is affected by cultural and social realities, and in turn, can change these realities. This showcases the importance of novels that address feminism from perspectives. The Blue-Collar Girl narrates the outbreak of an epidemy in the future that affects women’s life and causes important changes in the world. These changes create new limitations for some women that deprive them of basic life rights including family life, education, work, and marriage. This study, adopting a descriptive-analytical framework, examines the continuous and multi-faceted oppression of women and the distinctive image of women in The Blue-Collar Girl to showcase the role of women in liberating women from oppression. It finds that, in terms of characterizing a female heroine, the novel presents a distinctive image of women underpinned by courage, strength, hard work, rescue, self-reliance and other positive characteristics. Such a heroine image liberates women from slavery and oppression in order to reclaim their deprived rights. The novel implies that submission deprives people of their rights.
