متن يادداشت

This dissertation investigates an important new development in twentieth-century Arabic poetry: the use of myth as a major thematic component and structuring device of the poetic work. Since the use of mythic allusion in modern Arabic poetry is generally assumed to be a borrowing from Western literature, the first chapter combines a brief historical survey of Western attitudes toward myth since the Middle Ages with an assessment of various theories of myth and their relevance to the analysis of mythic allusion in literary works. The second chapter takes a historical approach to the study of myth in Arabic literature. It briefly traces classical/medieval Muslim attitudes toward myth. Then it reviews the first attempts to incorporate myth into a revived Arabic literature in the twentieth century, focusing on the experiments of the Mahjar poets and the Apollo group. The second half of the dissertation centers on close readings of major poems by four "mythopoetic" poets who emerged as major voices in the Arabic literature of 1950s: Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, Adunis ('Ali Ahmad Sa'id), Khalil Hawi and Taufiq Sayigh. Among the patterns emerging from these analyses there are strong indications that these poets use similar mythic figures and similar types of mythic narratives primarily as vehicles for the exploration of how the artist functions as a social figure, as well as a private individual.
