"Reflections of Interdisciplinary in Short Urdu Stories: A Critical Study Between Literature and Medicine"
This research seeks to identify the nature of the interrelationships between literature and other sciences, such as the short story and its integration with human medicine, to highlight the extent to which literature is an integrated actor that cannot be separated from other sciences, creating a new knowledge space.
The narrative discourse can be considered one of the important tributaries of interdisciplinary studies, which seem to be a nostalgia for encyclopedic thought that preceded the era of specialization, and a emancipation of knowledge from the rigor of precise specialization. Where the windows open to reach a realistic knowledge of the phenomena, and a true understanding of the narrative discourse.
The choice fell on three Urdu stories; "Neem Pleet - Nameplate", by "Tariq Chehtari", and the story "Asp, Kasht, Died - the horse died" by "Qamar Ahsan", and the story "Cancer - Cancer" by "Qamar Abbas Nadim", which presents three different diseases for indication On the openness of the literature to the science of human medicine, the research was divided into three sections:
First: the story of "Nim Pleet - Nameplate" and Alzheimer's disease.
Second: the story of "Asp, Kasht, died - the horse died" and Covad's disease and hypochondriasis.
Third: the story of "cancer-cancer" and cancer disease.
