The Cultural Pun of the Social Taboo (Novel of The Paper Notebooks as a Model)

Abstract

The research presented the concept of cultural pun through the manifestations of that concept and its activities within the fictional space, as an aesthetic and cognitive shift from the apparent linguistic structure, which contributed to the production of cultural discourse in general and narrative discourse in particular; thus, achieving a connection between the human subject and cultural and social systems, especially since the text is based on the duality of consciousness and existence that intertwines with the technical and semantic levels in form and content, to form a window for the alternative equation, and this was revealed through the research chapters that included the theoretical and applied framework, where the first chapter had the title (The Cultural Pun and The Culture of Pun), while the second one was under the title (The Pun Applications in Social Taboos), as the researcher chose the novel (The Paper Notebooks) as a model that is consistent with the research trends and its intellectual premises, leading to the results, sources, references, and a summary of the research in English. This conceptual and applied intertwining between the rhetorical features of the pun on the cultural pun led to a departure from the textual structure to the self-questioning that searches for its uniqueness, pulsating with cultural references and its ideological and sociological echoes, based on apparent linguistic and aesthetic data to the implicit semantic components that reside in the creative imagination.
