A Semiotic Reading of Abstract Painting by Writer Abdeslam Khalifa

About this book

Between the mirrors of the sign and the shadows of the word: a semiotic crossing into the abstraction of the word. In the soul's darkness and the folds of lines, where language becomes a homeland and words become cities haunted by anxiety and waiting, this literary work is born to be a rigorous spiritual surgery searching for the loci of pain and beauty at once. It is not merely a book to be read but a journey of deconstruction and interrogation of creativity's symbols, and a critical sailing into the convolutions of contemporary prose poetry transcending fixed rules to make its own aesthetic logic. Within this volume meet the pulsating brush of poet Abdeslam Khalifa throbbing with pain and hope, and the lens of critic and novelist Ali Fadil Al-Arabi wearing the semiotician's robe to analyze the structures of signification and decode the Abstract Painting drawn in the ink of human pain and longing extending from jasmine's peoples to the steadfastness of stone. This book places the reader before the mirror of self and reality, progressing from the obscurity of symbols charged with contradictions and fragmentation to the inspiration of naked truth we have always tried to hide behind masks of illusion. It poses the bewildering questions of identity, time, and spiritual estrangement, asking: how can the word become an inner voice expressing what we fail to say? It is a tussle between a past refusing obsolescence, a besieged present, and a future born from the flank of conjectures carrying life's tinder despite the darkness of distances. The work comes as a unique semiotic tool granting us a deeper understanding of culture, identity, and history, rebuilding the meanings texts hide behind their apparent mask, answering not only what the text says but how it was said and why.
