متن يادداشت

The dissertation examines the interaction of the classical genres of Arabic and Persian poetry with the political concepts of the emerging civil society of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The dissertation attempts to account for the means by which neoclassical poets, relying entirely upon the structures, motifs, and themes of classical poetry, were able to invest the classical poetic self with a political orientation relevant to the colonial situation. It presents the argument that classical poetry, when adapted to its new social environment, was able to give content to the new political concepts by representing them within a medieval world model that is embedded in the structure of the classical genres. Because this world model has at its center a logic of self-realization, appropriate for both individual and community, neoclassical poetry was able to contribute through poetic form to the ideologies of cultural and political revival dominant in the colonial period. The main achievement of neoclassical political poetry is the introduction of modern political subjectivity into classical poetic form, particularly that of the classical ode (qasidah), without violating classical form in any way. The classical qasidah already contains a communal ideal, which is brought into existence through social virtue; although the poetic self, which is the exemplar for each member of the poem's audience, must aspire to social virtue in order to enter the ideal community, the poet is not usually the agent who brings that community into existence. Neoclassical poetry depicts this communal ideal in the form of the modern nation, turns social virtue into political virtue, and puts the responsibility for creating the ideal nation on the poet himself and his audience. The self is endowed with a political orientation in the modern world, as well as political agency. The neoclassical poem achieves this by using the ecphrastic techniques of classical poetry to create a figure for the communal ideal which mirrors the poet's self. In this way the poet's nation is brought into his self, turning the moral imperative of self-realization into the patriotic duty of attachment to the nation.
