Spatial Maneuvering in the Novel "The Mosaic" by Moroccan Novelist Issa Nasiri: "Formation and Employment" from Vision to Meaning

This research attempts to highlight the aesthetic، artistic and creative features of the place in the novel “Mosaic” by the Moroccan novelist Issa Nasri، through the spatial evasion between the creator and the place through the formation and employment to produce the meaning by tracking the different places in the novel text، and their effective role in building the novel. And its relationship to the different thresholds in it، which contributed with the other narrative elements in analyzing the text and decoding its codes، through critical pursuits that attempt to capture the narrative meaning، by tracing the literary effect of the different places through the formation and artistic employment of them to produce meaning. ...and then reproducing the narrative text، highlighting its aesthetic and artistic features، by tracing these paths.
The narrative text in question is distinguished by a striking spatial presence that influences the course of the narrative events in fascinating ways، on the one hand، and، on the other hand، its contribution to the artistic plot of the narrative text، as the novel is characterized by the disintegration of time periods. When the narrator resorts to the technique of describing places، archaeological sites، and other things to disrupt the time taken by the events، there is one place around which revolve multiple places at different times، which contributed to the connection of the artistic elements of the novel in a striking way. Approaching the novel from this perspective can contribute to highlighting aesthetic and artistic features and reproducing the narrative text. Novelist Issa Nasiri innovates in his use of spatial techniques، with visual and functional maneuvers that illuminate the path for the reader in producing meaning. His narrative text begins from the end، starting from the place and ending with it. The novel's events begin، in a tight circle from the end; to return to the beginning، in an experimental novelistic form that mixes words with ideas، in an interesting and attractive formulation، which at first glance appears to have scattered features like mosaic pieces، but the recipient soon places the scattered pieces in their appropriate places، and rearranges them to form the creative artistic painting in the recipient's mind، and the artistic message reaches him through the creative artistic form. We are faced with a novelistic text that discusses reality with an artistic، rational discussion، using the novelistic form، through a group of stories that are together contained in one exciting novel، that arouses in the recipient the instinct of artistic، enlightening، and educational exploratory pleasure، as the writer blends with the place and artistically eludes it، in a verbal mosaic painting، through which he raises issues that are difficult to directly address. Given the difficult living conditions in some countries، which attempt to stifle expression and impose strict control over creativity، this is a novelistic attempt to transform the recipient، through elements of suspense and excitement and through the various connotations of the places، into a positive person who identifies with the idea and contributes to the production of its meaning. Therefore، the novelist made his creative text a circle that connects the beginning of the novel to its end، in a circular، fan-shaped artistic movement، so that the recipient remains a participant and interacts with the events of the novel، interacting with them and through them. We are faced with an experimental novel with a realistic reference، which deals with the suffering of the self that carries the concerns of others. It is also characterised by a comprehensive vision of the issues that the writer broadcasts through it، using novelistic techniques، through a group of intertwined novels within one novelistic text، in suspense and excitement; to highlight his vision and carry its intellectual contents.
