6/3/25, 10:50 AM MBRF's Dubai International Programme for Writing launches 'Book Criticism' workshop in Jordan
Dr. Jamal Maqableh, workshop instructor and professor of Arabic literature and

criticism at the Hashemite University in Jordan, said, "This motivational workshop

is a part of MBRF's constant efforts to empower and support literature enthusiasts.

It offers the younger generation an exceptional opportunity to develop their skills

and broaden their intellectual horizons, which will further enable them to reach a

higher level of skill and creativity.

In addition to offering a set of useful tools and techniques, the workshop provides

an opportunity to interact with authors, writers, and literary figures and gain

insights from their experience and knowledge, which will help them better

differentiate between different literary forms, genres, and fields as well as different

levels, styles, and orientations of writers."

This edition of the workshop is unique in incorporating artificial intelligence (AI)

tools such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which are now prominent for their capability

to accelerate recall, documentation, and text generation, despite these technologies'

inability to perform deep critical analysis. These tools help reduce workload by

managing a significant portion of preliminary tasks, enabling researchers to work at

a more advanced level. This ensures that investing in these capabilities can redefine

the boundaries of intellectual creativity in the AI era.

The workshop encompasses reading books, presentations, discussions, debates,

follow-ups, and viewing and listening to relevant recordings. Moreover, it aims to

equip participants with the requisite skills for deep reading and precise writing

through an integrated training regimen that progresses through successive stages,

from comprehension to critical evaluation.

Additionally, the workshop focuses on training participants in diverse critical
methodologies, including classical criticism and contemporary movements, as well

as expanding the study of literary theory, the philosophy of criticism, and its
multiple applications.
