Abstract
Imagology is a branch of comparative literature, especially concerned with cross-national perceptions and images as conveyed in literary discourse. The Arabic culture has undergone significant historical transformations, resulting in profound changes in perceptions of the "other." Various factors, including language, religion, and ethnicity, have contributed to the formation of diverse images of the "other" within Arab culture. The examination of the portrayal of other societies by a given culture falls within the domain of comparative literature, with imagology representing one of its branches. This research endeavors to investigate the image of the "other" in Arab culture. The significance of this research lies in its pursuit of analyzing the various manifestations of the "other" within the context of Arab culture. By adopting a comparative literature approach, it aims to explore the trajectories of interaction with the "other" and the evolution of their representation within Arab culture. By employing the methodological framework of comparative literature, this research seeks to shed light on the complex dynamics involved in the depiction of the "other" and its development in the Arab cultural milieu.

Abstract
İmgebilim, karşılaştırmalı edebiyatın bir dalıdır. Edebi söylemde aktarıldığı şekliyle özellikle uluslararası algılar ve imgelerle ilgilenir. Arap kültürü, "öteki" algısında derin değişikliklerle sonuçlanan önemli tarihsel dönüşümler geçirdi. Dil, din ve etnisite dahil olmak üzere çeşitli faktörler, Arap kültürü içinde "öteki"nin çeşitli imajlarının oluşmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Belirli bir kültür tarafından diğer toplumların tasvirinin incelenmesi karşılaştırmalı edebiyatın alanına girer, burada imgebilim alanı temsil eder. Karşılaştırmalı edebiyat araştırmalarının dallarından biridir. Bu makale, Arap kültüründeki “öteki” imajını incelemeye çalışmaktadır. Bu makalenin önemi, Arap kültürü bağlamında "öteki"nin çeşitli dışavurumlarını analiz etme arayışında yatmaktadır. Karşılaştırmalı bir edebiyat yaklaşımını benimseyerek, "öteki" ile etkileşimin yörüngelerini ve Arap kültürü içindeki temsillerinin evrimini keşfetmeyi amaçlar. Bu araştırma, karşılaştırmalı edebiyatın metodolojik çerçevesini kullanarak, "öteki"nin tasvirindeki karmaşık dinamiklere ve bunun Arap kültürel ortamındaki gelişimine ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır.
