Abstract

This research paper aims to uncover the functional mechanisms used in strategies for reading and receiving Quranic discourse by comparing the reading and reception of both discourses: the exegetical discourse, representing the traditional discourse, and the contemporary interpretative discourse. It represents a modern reader's experience with Quranic discourse to elucidate the ideological backgrounds and references that guide the reader in the process of understanding, which can either lead to construction or deconstruction. This exploration is based on the duality of the fixed and the variable and highlights the nature of the relationship between the reader and the discourse: is it a relationship of desire and connection or rebellion and separation?

Keywords
