نحو أفق دراسة نسقيّة للظاهرة الأدبيّة و تاريخ الأدب

During the recent years, researchers in cultural and literary studies have been increasingly making use of the accumulated knowledge (both theoretical and practical), aiming at widening the scope of literary studies to reach new horizons in the field of literary criticism. This led to the development of the polysytem theory and the polysystemic analysis of the literary phenomenon and the history of literature. This paper aims to present an overview of the historical and theoretical backdrop of the theory of polysystems grounded in russian formalism and structuralism. In addition, the efforts and advances made in the fields of deconstruction, semiotics, aesthetics of reception, and sociological approaches to literature and other disciplines resulted in a broadening of the scope of the study of the literary phenomenon and the history of literature. In this paper, we discuss few models and highlight the initiatives made by Arab researchers who benefited greatly from recent research advances
