Article № 01: Modernist Aspects of Poetic Style in Mahmud Darwish’s Poetry

Abstract:

This article sheds light on the main modernist characteristic features of

the poetic language in the poetry of Mahmud Darwish. The focus, in this article,

falls on the following features: ambiguity, narration, dialogue, and semantic

detection, adjacency, and isotopy. The aforementioned features have been

used by the poet in order to artistically present the Palestinian and Arab

scenes, and, in doing so, foregrounding different dark pictures of Arab reality.
Article № 02: Verbs and the Modernism of Semantic Intension in the Poetry
of Nizar Qabbani

Abstract:

This article is concerned with the investigation of the major modernist

traits of verb tenses in the poetry of Nizar Qabbani, in the sense that time

manisfests itself in the poetic discourse of Qabbani as dynamic, changeable,

and diverse. In fact, it is a promising future time that resists standing still and

surrender. Instead, it aspires to a better world that goes beyond the archaic

perception of time in reality. Indeed, it is based on constant questioning and

polemicising of a reality that is filled with a cynical fear that characterizes the

life of the modern Arab.

Article № 03: Verbs and the Modernism of Semantic Intension in the Poetry
of Khalil Hawi

Abstract:

This article, which is entitled “Verbs and the Modernism of Semantic

Intension in the Poetry of Khalil Hawi”, endeavours to approach the poetic

language in Khalil Hawi’s poetry, which could be achieved through working on

the feature of semantic intension in some of the most frequent verbs in this

poet’s corpus. Thoughout this study, it could be seen that there is an innovative

use of these verbs, in the sense that they deviate from and transcend their

inherent semantic meaning. In a nutshell, ambiguity, repetition, and deviation

constitute, at the semantic level, a solid basis in the creation of semantic

intension.
Article № 04: Semantic Intention and Extention in Khalil Hawi’s Collection of
Poems, “threshing floors of Hunger”

Abstract:

This article draws the reader’s attention to the devices of semantic

intension and extension in Khalil Hawi’s Collection of Poems, “threshing floors

of Hunger.” After emptying the lexical items of their dictionary meaning, the

poet has overloaded them with new idiosyncratic meanings through deviation,

abruptness, and ambiguity. Thus, His poems may constitute a sort of galaxy of

infinite meanings as a result breaking the logical relationship between the

conventional signified of the signifier and the new signified that results from

the new use of the poetic language.

Article № 05: Aspects of Future Outlook in the Poetry of Nizar Qabbani

Abstract:

This article is an attempt to present a critical study that seeks to explore

the significance of future outlook in the poetry of Nizar Qabbani through the

poet’s use of several devices as well as Transgressing, Disclosing, refusing, and

revolting. In doing so, the poetic scene has been transformed into a dreaming

vision of a future world view in which freedom and change are dominant.
Article № 06: The Influence of the Sufi Lexicon in the Shaping of a Modernist
Poetic Discourse

Abstract:

This article is an investigation into the impact of the Sufi lexicon in the

shaping of the modernist poetic discourse in the poetry of a number of

contemporary poets who consciously adopted the Sufi tradition. This

experimentation is very apparent in the poetry of Adonis, Abdelwahab

Albayati, and Khalil Hawi. It manifests itself in three ways: first, Adonis uses

withdrawal, seclusion, and self-denial; second, Albayati prefers to invoke Sufi

figures and frequently use abstract language; third, it could be noticed that

Hawi has recourse to profundity, ambiguity, binary oppositions, natural

symbols.
