The cultural pattern in the short story collection; A Point to Hell by Saeed Boutagine. An approach from the perspective of cultural criticism

Abstract

The short story is considered one of the literary genres that took upon itself the issue of intellectual enlightenment, and it is not
surprising that it is the most powerful through its brevity, which it insisted on, as well as its ability to touch upon the daily details
that concern humans.
This approach will be in two tracks: A theoretical track through which you try to give an overview of the nature of the short story
and its artistic characteristics, highlighting its characteristics according to Al-Saeed Boutagine.
And an applied path, through which it attempts to capture some of the patterns that abound in the group’s cultural treasury.
