The research discusses the importance of poetic image, and its
methods of study, and the types of images the poet uses, as reflection, a
diagnosis of abstractions, concrete objects, and human emotions in a
suggestive expressive way: The study also
observes the poet's use of
images that observe the dynamics of mobile and static objects that move
only in the imagination; of single and compound colors; of
correspondences of times; of figurative passions with their musical
rhythms, and of significations of lexical meaning of words so that the
poetic expression will reach the highest levels of artistic aesthetics. It also
discusses and a single, composite color, and correspond between the
times, and the varying situations , also words of emotion either catalog
music, or cast the various implications of the lexical semantic; then the
poetic expression, will reatch to the highest levels of influence and
artistic beauty.
The current research criticizes a classical critical text that appeared in (The Book of
Al- Aghani) with two supportive clues: it is reflection to (Musa’b Ibn Abdullah al-Zubeiri),
in which it handles the poetry of (Umar Ibn Abi Rabiaa) and highlig
hts his position among
contemporaries and peers.
This research describes (Musa’b’s) text: it discloses the style, analyses the
constituents, interprets the critical terms and viewpoints, tends to pursue the implications
through scrutinizing the proposed poetical coexistences, up towards conceptualizing the
emerging critical insight-being a critical insight that represents a creative approach within
the critical thinking of Arabs. This is due to that the fact that Musa’b’s legacy stands as the
primordial classical critical Arabic text that encompasses the receptor’s viewpoint in the
comprehensive intuitive experience. Nonetheless, it does not consider the influential
impressionistic rules that had been concurrent at that age sufficient, neither finds it
efficient to have one, two or three lines of verse to pinpoint its viewpoints, as had been the
custom. Rather, it studies the wholesome of Omar’s literary production (Umar’s
Anthology) being one single text in which he pours his expertise, thoughtfully penetrates
its essence in an attempt to uncover the secrets distinguishability, excellence over its
contemporary texts. Therefore, it stands as the first critical Arabic text that examines the
(stylistic uniqueness) that characterizes an outstanding creative figure via the creatorreceptor
interaction over the domain of the text.
In this research, I will deal with British
travel accounts to the Middle East around this period, attempting to
analyze their representation of the Middle Eastern landscape in the
light of Said's concept of "imaginative geography" represented in
his writings on Orientalism in Orientalism, Culture and
Imperialism and his article "Invention, Memory and Place".
