Abstrak/Abstract This study explores the narrative transformation of Hikayat Alfu Lailah wa Lailah as a migratory artifact from the Arab world to Europe, undergoing mythological, imaginative, and factual transfigurations through processes of translation and cross-cultural reception. The urgency of this inquiry lies in the critical need to reinterpret classical Eastern texts as active epistemic subjects within global literary studies. Employing a qualitative design, the research adopts a narrative cultural approach and close reading analysis, focusing on the tales of Shahrazad and “The Merchant and the Ifrit.” Data were collected from textual sources and historical reception references and analyzed through Carl Thompson’s symbolic myth theory and cultural reception theory. The findings reveal that mythic symbols and narrative structures function as frameworks for heroic journeys, serving as instruments of cultural diplomacy, while the character of Shahrazad emerges as a figure of social transformation within colonial patriarchy. This study contributes to the theoretical development of “cultural diplomacy narrative” and expands the discourse of literary decolonization. Its global implications include the epistemological repositioning of classical Arabic texts in world literature and the reinforcement of multicultural literacy models within international humanities education
