The PhD thesis entitled (The impact of ideology on ancient Arab critical discourse) was discussed in the Department of Arabic Language at the College of Arts at the University of Basrah.
The thesis submitted by the student (Difaf Nazim Dakhil) included an introduction and three chapters (coercive ideology, interpretive ideology, and ideology and authorship system).
The thesis aims to present a new reading of ancient criticism, using new methods presented by the new critical theory. The thesis attempted to interpret the ancient critical discourse and stop at the evidence that this discourse gives us, through which we can determine the ideological dimensions inherent in it. Cultural studies which were chosen as a means of approaching the old critical discourse believes that all types of discourses are not devoid of an ideological dimension... This means that (cultural studies) assume the presence of an implicit ideology in all forms of discourses, and the critic who works in them must work to present and reveal this ideology to the readers, and this is what the thesis seeks.
The thesis concluded that the ideological dimension was present directly and implicitly in the critical discourse and in the writing system among the Arabs.
