Abstract

Existing Consciousness and Potential Consciousness in the Poem (To Abd al-Rahman al-Dakhil "Besieged") by Said Al-Saqlawi

The researcher seeks to interrogate the existing reality in its dim brightness, while the poet navigates from the space of reality to the space of imagination, and from the horizons of the tangible to the horizons of the spiritual, blending them together, exaggerating in describing the adversity and suffering, then manifesting the extent of the concealment of the possible reality in the form of suppressed hope, or in the guise of a laborious discourse to the masses by captivating them intellectually and emotionally. The poet employs the technique of invoking the historical persona (the character of Abdulrahman Al-Dakhil), and the implications thereof in terms of intellectual and semantic content, stylistic phenomena, imaginative tendencies, collective imagery, and cosmic vision, thus forming through the two consciousnesses (the actual and the potential) two paths: the emotional path in its human form, and the Arab nationalist path bearing the burden of Arab identity, its struggles, and pains, while envisioning a future in which salvation and liberation prevail.

Keywords: Awareness – Siege – The existing – Possible – Abdul Rahman Al-Dakhil – Summoning.
