What Is Left Unsaid on Commentaries on ‘Al-muaalqat:’ Ibn Al-anbari as a Model?
2020
This study aims at excavating the unsaid in Mohammad Bin Al Qasim Al Abari's analysis of Imru\" Al Qais and Tarafa Ibn Al Abd Mualaqas. The study attempts to reevaluate Al Anbari's (1965) misinterpretations resulting from neglecting the context and the motive behind the composition, as well as the failure to appreciate the connotations and sticking only to dentations, which resulted in losing the gist of the texts.

Modernity and Metapoetry in Muḥammad ʿAfīfī Maṭar's Hunt Poem: Ṭardiyyah
2012
This study consists of an interpretation and full translation of a single poem by the contemporary Arab Egyptian poet Muhammad 'Afīfī Matar (1935-2010). The poet titles it Ṭardiyyah (Hunt Poem). With this title, the poem admits its link to the Umayyad-born and 'Abbāsid-matured genre of the \"poem of the courtly hunt,\" ṭardiyyah. 'Afīfī Matar's understanding of his no longer courtly, modernist poem is therefore hermeneutically connected to his understanding of the old genre, informing his modern mythopoetic employ of the archaic motif of \"the morning of the hunter.\" This essay also discusses: 'Afīfī Maṭar's place among the European and American poets of radical Modernism, especially, regarding the mythopoetic stance of Wallace Stevens; the problem of the notorious difficulty and obscurity (su'ūbah and ghumūd) of 'Afīfī Maṭar's poetic language; and the general search of modern Arab poets, among them Adūnīs, for a new poetic language. Finally, the essay singles out 'Afīfī Maṭar's Ṭardiyyah and his very personal mythopoesis as a total achievement in the presentation of a Modernist Arabic poem—an achievement analogous to Wallace Stevens' \"central poem,\" that is, A Primitive like an Orb.

Revisiting Tāhā Husayn's Fī al-Shi'r al-Jāhilī and its sequel
2009
In 1926, Ṭāhā Ḥusayn published Fī al-shi'r al-jāhilī, a book in which he analyzed the language and style of pre-Islamic poetry, and argued that some poems were written in the Islamic period. A few passages in the work questioning the historicity of the Qur'ān infuriated the religious establishment in Egypt. Accused of blasphemy and threatened to lose his professorship at the Egyptian University, Ḥusayn was summoned before a court that charged and convicted him of apostasy and banned his book from circulation. A year later, he published a presumably softened version of the book under a different title, Fī al-adab al-jāhilī, and the clamor subsided. To date, intellectual historians of Egypt understand the second book as an attempt to appease the 'ulamā', and as part of a shift from western-inspired to Islamic-oriented scholarship that occurred among Egyptian intellectuals during the late 1920's. This article revisits Ḥusayn's two books, and shows that Fī al-adab al-jāhilī was not a milder and slightly-amended version of the first book. Rather, it served as a platform for Ḥusayn to reassert his message and get back at his rivals. Placed in the context of his scholarship at large, this article argues that Ḥusayn remained a passionate advocate of western liberal ideas throughout his career.

READING THE LANGUAGE AND RHYTHM IN THE STRUCTURE OF ANCIENT ARABIC POETRY: IMRU'L-QAYS/ESKI ARAP SIIRI'NIN YAPISINDA DIL VE AHENK: IMRU'L-KAYS
The Arabic poem was able to preserve its structure for centuries since it was discovered by the critics of the second century of Hijrah, who discovered poems of al-Muhalhil, Imru'l-Qays and 'Antara which were written one hundred fifty years before Islam. The Hanged (Mualaqa) poem of Imru'l-Qays was a unique poem to follow up the characteristics of the ancient Arabic poetry's structure, so many papers were written about it. This paper is taking up this Hanged poem in a modern view, focusing on the language and the rhythm which are the basic pillars of the ancient Arabic poetry.

Modernity and Metapoetry in Muḥammad ʿAfīfī Maṭar's Hunt Poem: Ṭardiyyah

With this title, the poem admits its link to the Umayyad-born and ʿAbbāsid-matured genre of the \"poem of the courtly hunt,\" ṭardiyyah. ʿAfīfī Maṭar's understanding of his no longer courtly, modernist poem is therefore hermeneutically connected to his understanding of the old genre, informing his modern mythopoetic employ of the archaic motif of \"the morning of the hunter.\" This essay also discusses: ʿAfīfī Maṭar's place among the European and American poets of radical Modernism, especially, regarding the mythopoetic stance of Wallace Stevens; the problem of the notorious difficulty and obscurity ( ṣuʿūbah and ghumūḍ ) of ʿAfīfī Maṭar's poetic language; and the general search of modern Arab poets, among them Adūnīs, for a new poetic language. Finally, the essay singles out ʿAfīfī Maṭar's Ṭardiyyah and his very personal mythopoesis as a total achievement in the presentation of a Modernist Arabic poem-an achievement analogous to Wallace Stevens' \"central poem,\" that is, A Primitive like an Orb.
