A PhD dissertation at the University of Basrah examined “Narrative and Knowledge Production: A Study of Kitab al-Hayawan by Al-Jahiz.”
The dissertation, presented by student Hussein Imad Sadiq, aimed to reveal the methodological and discursive patterns adopted by Al-Jahiz in constructing his intellectual and literary project.
The dissertation consisted of five chapters in which the student examined the encyclopedic nature of the book and analyzed its narrative structure, communication mechanisms, and patterns of environmental, behavioral, theological, and literary knowledge.
