The semantics of poetic formation in the (Bedouin and urban) poem of Amir Abdelkader
Keywords:
cultural criticism, poetic discourse, Western centralism, ego and other, cultural implicitAbstract
This study aims to explore some of the implications of poetic discourse that
might reconsider how we receive the poetry of Amir Abdelkader, so that we do not stop at
the obvious aesthetic, but rather consider it as a means of grasping the cultural component
that guides the poetic imagination and touches the boundaries of artistic experience marked
by a fertile formative cultural heritage.
Methodologically, we will attempt to start from certain data on the stylistic structure
of the poem we have chosen as the model applied for the study (Bedouin and urban), and
then to interpret it according to the perception of cultural criticism, which goes beyond the
apparent aesthetic and focuses on the mental and non-rational systems that drive the
discourse, while linking it to the data of the historical conflict raging between the ego and
the other, which requires the poet/intellectual to represent himself and prove himself before
entering into the inevitable confrontation with the other. If cultural centralism has the means
to impose its hegemony, then the poet in resistance has special tools at his disposal to impose
himself and expose the masks of the other
