بنية الزمان في السيرة الشعبية سيرة الملك سيف بن ذي يزن وعنترة بن شداد والزير سالم أنموذجا الباحثة إيناس محمد غرسان اليوسفي

This study examines the structure of time in the folk epic through three selected examples: the epic of King Saif ibn Dhi Yazan, the epic of Antarah ibn Shaddad, and the epic of Al-Zir Salim. It aims to uncover representations of time and to contribute to a scholarly, methodical re-reading of folk narrative heritage that reveals its artistic and aesthetic dimensions and highlights its value and status in the development of Arabic narrative and the formation of its various genres. The researcher adopted the structuralist approach as the study’s methodological framework, owing to the analytical tools it offers for uncovering the deep structures of the narrative text by focusing on the internal relationships that link its fundamental components. This approach views the text as an autonomous, coherent structure to be studied in light of its own internal systems, apart from external influences and contexts, thereby allowing a deeper understanding of the systems regulating narrative elements and the mechanisms by which they operate within the text. Through the epic of Al-Tubba' Hassan Al-Yamani, it became evident that time plays an important role in the siyar (folk epics), making them amenable to sequencing. Thus, the first of the epics was that of Al-Zir Salim, followed by that of King Saif ibn Dhi Yazan, and finally that of Antarah ibn Shaddad. After attempting to grasp the overarching temporal structure of the folk epic, it became clear that time is an important narrative structure, because it is connected to the other narrative structures (events, characters, and spaces). Keywords: The Temporal Structure, Popular Biographies King Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan, Antarah ibn Shaddad, Al-Zeer Salim.
