As café culture thrives, these spaces serve as cultural hubs blending heritage and modernity. The study identifies a significant research gap in understanding how language and design collectively impact café experiences. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study examines iconic Bahraini cafés such as Haji Café and Lumee, analysing the symbolic use of Arabic in menus .and document analyses reveal how these elements create authentic and immersive environments, enhancing cultural connection and customer satisfaction. Findings emphasize the role of Arabic in effective communication and the preservation of cultural identity, while design elements foster comfort and nostalgia. This research offers valuable insights for café owners, designers.</p> رفيقة بن رجب (Author) Copyright (c) 2025 اماني علي العالي (مؤلف) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/303 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 تَمثلات المُبتًذل في الصورة المرئية المُعاصرة http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/299 <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;Western art has always depicted provocation and ugliness in its various manifestations, from the late Renaissance and the paintings of the Dutch artists Bosch, Bruegel the Elder, and others to Romanticism and the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya's legendary painting (Saturn Devouring His Children), to the paintings of the Impressionists, including the painting of the artist Edouard Manet (Lunch on the Grass), and the obscene works of writers that were prevalent in both Flaubert and Baudelaire, as well as the paintings of the artist Lautrec that depict women in public baths, to Pop Art that depicted vulgarity, seduction, and sex, such as the paintings of Warhol and Lichtenstein, and the comic books of girls and Richard Hamilton that depict nudity and the life of American consumer reality, to the images of the transgender performance show at the Olympic Games in Paris and the imitation of the painting of the artist Da Vinci (The Last Supper) in a provocative manner that sparked a wave of controversy and disapproval, reaching modernity through the applications of artificial intelligence represented in the production of the vulgar in the contemporary image. <strong>Keywords</strong>: representations, vulgarity, visual image, contemporaneity</p> Nasser abd (Author) Copyright (c) 2025 Nasser abd (مؤلف) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/299 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 انعكاسات المونتاج في النص المسرحي العراقي المعاصر / العرس الوحشي انموذجا http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/292 <p><strong>ملخص البحث /</strong></p> <p><strong>كانت السينما من الفنون التي تم اختراع آليتها بعد اختراع الكهرباء في الفرن التاسع عشر والتي استطاع القائمون عليها من مخرجين ومنتجين ومنظرين أن يقدموا كل ما يخدم الفكر الإنساني من خلال الأفلام التي اخرجوها بعد ذلك ، وكانت آلية المونتاج من العناصر الفنية في السينما ، ويعد كآلية لتجزئة الفلم من خلال القص واللصق ، وللتشويق والمتعة فخدمت التطور والرقي للفن السينمائي ، وتطورت السينما كنوع ادبي وثقافي وفكري للإنسان ، ويعد المسرح اقدم من السينما بكثير ولكنه استفاد من السينما ووظفت المونتاج للمساهمة في تقديم الصراع بين الشخصيات في النص المسرحي ، فكان لجوئهم الى المونتاج في النص وبالتالي في العرض المسرحي هو مسعى فكري للمؤلف وللمخرج ، إن لكل تجربة من تجارب الفن يأخذ شكلا وأتجاها خاصا تقتضيه طبيعة الشخص الذي يتصدى لتقديم نص أو عرض مسرحي او يقدم فيلما سينمائيا ، ويشكل النص المسرحي احد الوسائل الادبية والفنية في الكشف عن المعاناة الانسانية في ترسيخ المشاركة الحقيقية في الحياة الواقعية &nbsp;والافتراضية ، وهذا ما حاولت الباحثة ان تكشف في بحثها قوة توظيف المونتاج في الادب المسرحي كعنصر من عناصر التحليل والتفسير لعناصر النص المسرحي العراقي المعاصر من خلال الافصاح عنها والتعامل معها ومحاولة ان ترسم المسار الذي تسير عليه الاحداث في النص المسرحي ، والشخصيات التي تسبب هذه الاحداث برمتها، وللتعرف على المونتاج وإنعكاساته في النص المسرحي العراقي المعاصر، وأكتشاف آليات تحليل النص المسرحي ، من خلال السؤال البحثي (</strong><strong>هل استطاع المونتاج السينمائي ان يقدم تحليلا وتفسيرا للنص المسرحي حسب وجهة نظر القاريء)</strong></p> هند محمود محمد العساف (Author) Copyright (c) 2025 هند محمود محمد العساف (مؤلف) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/292 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000 الاشتغالات اللونية في الأفلام الفانتازيا http://bjfa.uobasrah.edu.iq/index.php/Arts/article/view/305 <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Scientific and technological advancements have had an impact on lifeand they have also had an impact on the resurgence of cinematic art.

One of these innovations is the element of color، which has also been developed in a way that has enhanced the visual image's expressive، psychodramatic، and artistic qualities. The following question captures the essence of the research problem that has been presented: What effects does color have in fantasy movies?? The following elements of the research were incorporated in order to maximize benefit after extrapolating opinions to match the objectives: an introduction outlining the significance، goals، boundaries، and research challenge. The definition of words comes next. The research is significant because it adds to the body of knowledge available to students in the College of Fine Arts' Department of Cinema and Television. Were the research's goals restricted to exposing how color is used in fantasy movies? Two portions made up the theoretical framework. The first dealt with color and its meaning. Following the discussion of color use in the fantasy scenario in the second section، the researcher developed a number of indicators that are the outcome of the theoretical framework. In order to analyze the sample that the film (Warcraft) represented، the research also comprised research processes that included the research methodology، the research community، the research instrument، and the analysis unit. The study came to a number of conclusions، the most significant of which being that color is dominant in the fantasy narrative framework as a fundamental value. It is in line with the colors used to create fantasy character makeup. Conclusions: In the dramatic story structure، color dominated as an aesthetic and expressive value.
