BREAKING THE HOOK OF METAPHOR: TOOLS OF PRODUCING INDICATIONS IN MAḤMŪD DARWĪŠ’S POETRY
BREAKING THE HOOK OF METAPHOR: TOOLS OF PRODUCING INDICATIONS IN MAḤMŪD DARWĪŠ’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the absent-relationships between the words of the poem, which create a meaning from the symbol that they carry and the indications that hide behind the words. The study also tries to prove that the language is the most important elements of the poem and that the sounds of the words and their formation create the rhythm of the poem. Besides, it shows that the rhythm of the poem is different from its meter. Rhythm gives the poem its musical tone, and that is achieved by the words. ‘Language’ here does not mean ‘rhetoric’ and ‘figures of speech’, but simple words that constitute deviations in their indications through the relationships that grow between them, which require an alert reader who, by his analysis and exploration of those relationships, becomes a partner in producing the text. The study chooses samples of Maḥmūd Darwīš’s poetry to illustrate these relationships that include his attitude about the Arabic prose-poem and how he expressed his opinions by the meta-poetry and the absent-relationships between the words.
