Cultural Context in Abdul Amir Al-Majr's Short Stories ــ A Study in Light of Genetic Structuralism

Abstract

The research deals with studying the cultural aspect in the stories of the Iraqi short story writer Abdul Amir Al-Majr in light of the formative structuralism through the cultural context that revealed the storyteller's transfer in his short stories of the customs and traditions of the Iraqi people that were embodied through the cultural system and on the tongues of the characters, and the nature of the dialogue, and showed the religious beliefs and ideology of the Iraqi people, and revealed the depth of cognitive development that distorted many cultural aspects and tried to change them through the existing awareness, or trying to keep up with them due to their heavy weight through possible awareness. Abdul Amir Al-Majr's stories formed a mature example of the Iraqi intellectual who conveys the concerns of his people and the depth of their aspirations for a better future in which the culture of the other, the tyrant and the dominant, is not attached to the ceiling of cultural change.
