Synopsis
This book aims to study the philosophy of myth in the Qatifi imagination as one of the key lenses for understanding the relationship between humans, place, and memory in the local heritage. The work adopts a philosophical and anthropological hermeneutic approach, treating myth not as a mere folk tale or a nostalgic narrative, but as a symbolic discourse shaped by the existential, environmental, and social experiences of the Qatifi people.
Through the analysis of major symbols in the heritage, such as the palm tree, the sea, water, stones, wind, and women, the book seeks to reveal how collective consciousness about identity and place was formed, and how myth became a hidden memory preserving the fundamental values, symbols, and meanings of life.
The book highlights the role of popular imagination in shaping foundational concepts of creation, destiny, and immortality, showing that myth was not merely a means of expression, but a tool for understanding and resisting oblivion, enabling humans to grasp their existence in relation to the unseen and the passage of time.
It further demonstrates that Qatifi memory has maintained a unique balance between reason and myth, the sacred and the everyday, the real and the symbolic, allowing it to transform natural elements into cosmic symbols expressing profound philosophical meanings.
This book does not aim simply to document narratives, but to deconstruct the symbolic structure of local imagination and explore the existential and aesthetic visions it conceals, visions that reflect a deeply rooted human identity, stretching between clay and light, between sea and palm, and between myth and truth.
