This study seeks to inform the Arab reader, enabling them to understand the mechanisms of the enactive approach and its application to narrative texts. It establishes a theoretical framework that defines the concept of 'Enaction,' its epistemological origins in cognitive sciences, and its transition to the field of literary and narrative studies within the framework of cognitive narratology.
Practical applications are presented through the analysis of three Moroccan novels from the third millennium, each offering a distinct narrative style that stimulates memory to reconstruct reality and build identity. The study illustrates the connection between structuralist and cognitive narratology, positing the latter as an extension of the former. It argues that structuralism alone is limited to descriptive analysis and cannot ignore the continuous developments in human thought and sciences, especially in cognitive science, informatics, and artificial intelligence, driven by the modern technological revolution.
