The Journey of Al-Mutanabbi to Egypt and its Impact on Modern Arabic Poetry: Amal Dunqul and Mahmoud Darwish as Examples
Keywords:
Journey, Al-Mutanabbi's Poetry, Amal Dunqul, Mahmoud Darwish, Vision.Abstract
This study attempts to address the issue of Al-Mutanabbi's journey by analysing a selection of his poems during his trip to Egypt. Subsequently, it examines two contemporary poems by Amal Dunqul and Mahmoud Darwish that also explore Al-Mutanabbi's journey to Egypt. The study begins with an introduction that distinguishes between the concepts of "poetic journey" and "journey in poetry." It clarifies the classification of Al-Mutanabbi's journey under the latter category. The study then emphasises the necessity of exploring the "vision" in his journey, which is revealed in the first chapter. The analysis uncovers Al-Mutanabbi's vision regarding power and authority through an examination of his experiences in Egypt. In the second chapter, the study observes how Dunqul and Darwish perceive Al-Mutanabbi's vision. The former focuses on attributing an Arab identity to Al-Mutanabbi while stripping him of hope in the power of poetry, while the latter imparts an Arab identity to Al-Mutanabbi while localising him in poetry and making it his ultimate refuge.
