Refusal to write the article in the Arab world

We will see that those interested in the literary and cultural movement frequently discuss the decline of poetry and poetry in contemporary Arabic literature in relation to the popularity of the novel and the development of its techniques.

And other discussions about increasing fictitious production in exchange for the low quality of the text, its repetition and its distance from fundamental questions. This interest and controversy, I have not learned what is similar in monitoring the production of (articles) and their evaluation, and studying their reality in terms of popularity and development and the challenges they face, has the article therefore become an irrelevant literary product? Or has its cultural position changed so that it does not receive the same attention as other cultural products?

In all literary works, the article is defined as a (literary genre) that has structural characteristics and special content that sets it apart from other non-literary prose writings, and it is a modern art that the Arabs introduced to from Western writers, but some believe it has roots in Arab culture, such as literary correspondence and messages such as the letter of forgiveness, whirlwinds and addictions.

The emergence and development of the Arabic article was linked to the emergence and development of journalism, and the article was one of the driving forces that changed many avenues of Arabic writing, and discussions took place touched thorny, historically and realistic subjects.

The emergence of the writing of the modern article coincided with the transfer of the Arabs from the ancient stages of their liberation from Ottoman rule, and the beginning of the missions, translation and influence of the West, and a also coincided with the independence movements of the New West. colonialism and the formation of new intellectual tendencies and new political parties in the region.

All the previous thorny intertwined issues and the resulting social and psychological effects and personal experiences expressed by writers and thinkers in their articles, so that the press was filled with writings of great writers throughout the Arab history of period, such as Al-Kawakibi, Al -Rafi’i, Taha Hussein, Al-Akkad, Zaki Naguib Mahmoud and others.

Some of them created newspapers and magazines for certain tendencies, such as diaspora poets, and some of them were drawn into battles and intellectual rivalries whose court was the newspapers which formed a particular cultural situation in Arab culture which had a great impact on the formation of Arab consciousness, and the most important of these were the battles that Taha Hussein fought first with Al-Rafei, then with Akkad, and finally with Abdel-Azim Anees and Mahmoud Amin Al-Alam.

This cultural richness, this creative production and this fruitful dialogue have made the article a special place in contemporary Arab culture, and made the initiation of an article an experience that calls for reflection and hesitation. , unlike what we see today in the multitude of articles, as intruders have increased to write articles, and writing language has declined. The writing material has been separated from the reality, and the subjects have become vessels that evaporate their opportunity.
