Symbolism in Arabic Literature
2024
Overview
This study explores the concept of \"symbolism\" in Arabic literature, focusing on its role in the poetry of Mourid Barghouti as a model. It examines the evolution of symbolism through different literary eras, from traditional and religious symbols to mythological and natural symbols, and analyzes how Barghouti employs these symbols to reflect his experiences and views on Arab issues, particularly the Palestinian cause. The study adopts an analytical methodology to study selected symbols in Barghouti's works, highlighting religious symbols such as Christ, historical symbols like Queen Bilqis, and mythological symbols inspired by Greek mythology. The study also examines the unique symbols Barghouti created to express his personal experiences. The results reveal that symbolism is a fundamental element in Barghouti's poetry. He uses it to convey themes of resilience, national identity, and human suffering. The study underscores the importance of symbolism in enriching poetic texts and deepening their meanings, enabling readers to gain a profound understanding of the human experience in literature. Key conclusions include Barghouti's strategic use of various types of symbols-religious, historical, mythological, and natural to deepen meaning and evoke connections between the past and the present. His use of natural symbols represents renewal and resilience. The study recommended further studies on symbolism in modern Arabic literature, increased focus on traditional and religious symbols in Arabic poetry, the development of educational curricula to include the analysis of literary symbols, and the establishment of a database of key literary symbols in Arabic poetry. Additionally, it suggested exploring audience interaction with literary symbols, focusing on their reception in modern Arabic poetry.
