itinerant point of view and the mask of meaning in the novel (The Ring of the Sand) by Fouad al-Takarli

This research proceeds from the concept itinerant of point of view introduced by Iser in the direction of reception theory. Its aims to chart a methodological path in its a critical reading, by assimilating the concept of the itinerant point of view, which is a means to describe the reader's presence in the text. The presence of the itinerant point of view can be traced through four perspectives: the narrator perspective, the characters perspective, the plot perspective, and the imaginary reader perspective. But the privacy of each fictional text can impose an amendment to these four perspectives, or the work requires methodology such as merging the perspective of the fictional reader with the perspective of the narrator and delivering them together in the analytical process. The itinerant point of view can be directed to an effort to assume a convergence between the meaning of the author and the meaning of the reader. At the same time, the exploratory energy stored in this concept is invested in monitoring the fluctuations and diversities of the textual course. And what the literary structure intends to wear in the end.
