“Allusion and Explicitness”: A Semantic Reading of the Short Story Collection Faces and Phenomena by Rabah Khadoussi

Abstract

The study aims to highlight the wide range of meanings that can be exposed by the condensation of the language, A word, a sentence or an expression can have several meanings which can only be revealed through our readings, and that with each reading, we discover new meanings, The study also aims to highlight the hidden roles played by any serious pen, as Rabah Khedoussi who, through a handful of words, exposes unpleasant facts that once remained discreet. We find him in the role of the reformer taking charge of the exploration of the secrets of the anomaly. A task that is probably difficult and noble at the same time, but cannot be mastered only by one who has exceptional courage, patience, perspicacity and a love for his nation, a love which reflects the integrity, the originality and a morality of the person.
