The Form of Society in the MaqAmas

Dr. Nader Masarwah

Abstract :

 Maqamas are an expressive art that evolved in Arab culture in an age that saw an explosion of knowledge and  a revival of life at all levels, and that immed with all kinds of intellectual and cultural materials, as a result of a  mingling of nations, languages and cultures. The maqama served in those times as an important living document, by means of which one can  learn much about various aspects of Arab life at a time of intellectual and cultural revival. The maqama played an important role in recording disparate aspects of Arab social and intellectual life. It also provides an accurate account  of how people behaved, especially certain unfortunate social habits, in addition to depicting different habits, customs and traditions, both  positive and negative, by way of profound semantic and factual descriptive frameworks. In the course of this study we also deal with the ethical and social values adherence to which is considered appropriate.
