Abstract

Ahmed Farchoukh, in his article, deals with the novel genre from the perspective of the spatial approach. Accordingly, the novel requires aesthetic foundation which makes it subject to strict design associated with the story telling materials and with imaginary characters. Additionally, it necessitates being opened to symbolic spaces which implicate the reader into the storytelling’s mazes, and exercise on him/her a kind of seduction and attraction. Farchoukh starts from Heidegger’s view when he linked the novel genre with architecture to come up to the idea that the novel is a space which exceeds the place and is characterised by diversity, complexity and abundance, as the novel is founded on the traditional style, the modern spiral model and the incomplete race track from inside model. Thereafter, Farchoukh extends the scope of research relying on the structural criticism mainly on Gerard Junette speculations which are built upon spatial language, writing and style. In order to enrich his concept to the novel, he opens up on Joseph Kisener’s spatial approach which took three pictures: the architectural, the probable and the generative replica. All these diligences came in a competitive and conflictive context among movements of post modernism. They give utmost importance to the novelestic space approach from the constructive perspective, which improve the criticism process, fostering the sense of innovation, expanding the narration fields of study and research and the multi transformations of the aesthetic theme of the novel.
