L’hypotypose ou l’image onirique de la mer dans Écailles Alexandrines de Mona Latif-Ghattas
Hypotyposis or the Dream Image of the Sea in Mona Latif-Ghattas’s Alexandrian Seashells

Summary/Abstract: Alexandrian Seashells is a poetic collection of Mona Latif-Ghattas, where we try to study the dream image of the sea; poet recounts her memories of youth, stranded as seashells on the beach. Hypotyposis is the best figure of speech that reflects poetic hallucinated impulses, symbolic elusive relationships or inexpressible feelings. Essentially descriptive, this figure is based on the obser- vation of feelings, sensations or elusive impressions. It transmits the fleeting thoughts by its dynamic appearance. The multiple facets of hypotyposis, spread through the space-time items, include figures attached either to land, desert, beaches or fluid figures that derive their value from the sea. The hypo- typosis is able to connect the lived memories with the emotional effect produced by the moment.
