The poetic language of Abu-al Qasim al-Shabbi in the Diwan of al-Ghani al- Hayat

Abstract

The subject of this research revolves around the poetic language of Abu al-Qasim al-Shabi, who is a symbol and a prominent figure in poetry not only in Tunisia and the Arab world but throughout the entire globe. His words are thus linked to his culture and intellectual references, which carry within them a strong moral support for all liberation movements from the shackles of occupation in the Arab world and the entire world. Therefore, he resorted to deviation to give his poems more artistry and creativity in order to reach a deeper meaning and a phrase that is more beautiful and acceptable to the recipient. He also used paradox and intertextuality to grant his literary work more beauty. Additionally, the semantic fields in his diwan "Songs of Life" are varied, including the fields of homeland, Islamic heritage, women, and love. The aesthetics of deviation, intertextuality, and paradox have demonstrated the status of poetic language in Abu al-Qasim al-Shabi's work.
