أدونيس والمتنبّي، معادلات رفض وتمرّد- "الكتاب" نموذجا

Abstract

This article examines Adunīs’s book al-Kitāb: Ams, al-Makān, al-Ān [The Book: Yesterday, the Place, Now] and his state of state of rejection and rebellion against his role model al-Mutanabbī. Adunīs’s sense of rejection and rebellion in this book revolves primarily around al-Mutanabbī’s attitudes towards war in general, and the one against the Romans, more particularly. This critical state of rejection and rebellion plays a crucial role in shaping the identity of al-Kitāb, further reflecting an important aspect of Adunīs’s critical intellectual agenda. Accordingly, this study examines Adunīs’s stance against al-Mutanabbī by exploring the rules of intertextuality and their functioning in Adunīs’s book al-Kitāb: Ams, al-Makān, al-Ān. It also looks at the sites where Adunīs identifies with verses from al-Mutanabbī’s poetry. By inspecting both content and style, this study aims to clarify how the book’s poetry style is structured in a way that is harmonious with its content as well as al-Mutanabbī’s own verses, and it assesses how the book’s style and content reinforce Adunīs’s critical state of rejection and rebellion against al-Mutanabbī.
