Abstract

Objectives: This study explores the fantastic techniques used in "The Phoenix Maqama" by Abu Al-Tahir al-Saraqusti. It employs narrative estrangement, akin to the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights," evoking the adventures of Sindibad and the Roc bird. The aim is to uncover the economic, social, and political conditions in Andalusia during the era of sects and Marabouts. The Maqama reveals a fictional society that employs fantasy to escape from weakness, poverty, oppressive political authority, and public unrest.

Methods: The study utilized analysis to identify the elements of fantastic discourse in the Maqama.

Results: The study analyzed the Maqama based on its fantastic elements, including fantastic narration, description (of time, place, and characters), and their patterns. These elements illustrate the impact of fantasy in depicting the contradictory present experienced by the writer.

Conclusions: The study concludes that the fantastic discourse in "The Phoenix Maqama" employs narrative estrangement to describe a perplexing present filled with contradictions. This narrative enriches cognitive dimensions by presenting supernatural events that evoke confusion and hesitation in the audience. Additionally, various fantastic descriptions of settings like the sea and islands, and characters such as Sheikh Sadousi, the Phoenix, and the tortoise, combine to reveal deeper meanings in "The Phoenix Maqama."
