Woman as a Cultural Concept

The theme of the other (the woman) is one of the axes of the work of Arab critics, based on the idea of the other (the marginalized), mainly amongst the early poets; seeing that the woman stands for an unspoken symbolic cultural system. Through an underlined cultural reading, the presence of this notion of the woman has been revealed as a vital constituent in building the image which moves in a cloaked plot and hence it is a concealed-implicit form capable of disappearing using aesthetic and linguistic masks. And through rhetoric and its aesthetics, these patterns pass, as Al-Ghadami says: safe and sound from its lavish veil.
