The Intermingling of Genres in Contemporary Arabic Poetics

About this book

In the poem's draft.. where boundaries melt. Have you ever wondered why the poem sometimes grows too narrow for its poet's chest, as if meter, rhyme, and traditional seas had become a golden prison? In this work, researcher "Jawad Amer" takes us on a deep exploratory journey behind the scenes of "aesthetic rebellion," where poetry is no longer mere measured speech, but a homeland inhabited by the novel, furnished by theater, and lit in its darkness by cinema. In a style blending scientific rigor and literary sweetness, the book decodes the riddle of "genre intermingling." It does not speak of mere random "mixing" of arts, but of intelligent poetic "absorption"; how contemporary Arabic verse managed to steal the novel's narration, theater's dialogue, and cinema's fleeting shots, to recast our awareness of the world. Between this book's covers, you will discover that the modern text is a living "mosaic," read not only with the eye but summoned with all your visual and cultural store. The author dives into the philosophy of "crossing," asking: did poetry lose its identity when it opened its doors to strangers? Or did it acquire a new soul capable of mimicking our shattered reality? This book is no mere critical study, but an invitation to a historical reconciliation between the poet who writes "what cannot be understood" and the reader who "does not understand what is said." It is your guide to understanding that "aesthetic rupture" with the past, and your gateway to tasting the pleasure of the text that does not dwell in one place, but dwells in the distance separating the arts. If you seek an answer to creativity's question in the age of the image and speed, this book is your compass toward "the new aesthetic formation" that restored the word's lost sway.
