Mythical Intertextuality in Some Selections from the Poems of Ansi Al-Hajj

Abstract

    Our study came under the title (Mythical Intertextuality in some selections from the poems of Ansi Al-Hajj) according to the descriptive analytical method to show the extent of the poet’s use of this type of intertextuality. The poet was chosen for many reasons, the most important of which is to prove the opposite of what the poet was calling for, which is the call to break intertextuality, He emphasized the lack of intertextuality and the lack of reference to myths, and this can be found in his call for a break, calling the return of contemporary poets to ancient history the ignorance of contemporary poetry, saying: (Contemporary pre-Islamic poetry is the presence of the poet, with his feelings and expressions in the past, and this presence is still renewed through today’s poets, as if nothing had happened in their world or in their humanity. We can call it “the ultimate bankruptcy,” but it would be more accurate to call it “the ultimate loyalty,” as it seems that from the depths of pre-Islamic principles is that attachment to the pas, “a truly heroic attachment). Refusing that contemporary Arabic poetry has any relationship with the poetic eras that preceded it: ((We have no relationship with pre-Islamic, Umayyad, Abbasid, reactionary, or contemporary poetry, because we witness a different life independent of that, which requires Arabic poetry of a different kind)) and this is what was published in the Beirut Poetry Magazine, Issue 12, Autumn 1959, p. 126.  No researcher has previously addressed this study, and I believed that any use or evocation of a symbol or a group of them in the poem must be through the possibility of representing its aesthetic, imaginative and semantic dimensions, and transforming it into a center of suggestive radiation that enriches the poem. The research plan divided it into an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, and results in addition to the footnotes and a list of sources and references, In the first section, there was an introduction to the poet, his life, his works, and his position on the issue of intertextuality. In the second section, there was an introduction to the terms: intertextuality, myth, the concept of myth and its types. As for the third section, we dealt with mythical intertextuality in selected of his poetry,
