The literary heritage exerts a seductive force, compelling you to study, analyze, and discuss it. However, the researcher in fourth-century Hijri poetry must equip themselves with contemporary critical mechanisms in which they attempt to answer the questions that challenge them each time: Why should they return to the heritage? How does history
contribute to the interpretation of creative texts? How does heritage, in all its forms, help the critic understand their literary and critical reality? For heritage is not merely creative texts that have died with their authors; it is also the history of a nation to which the critic adds years to their life. Today, the critic needs to delve into the depths of the past with contemporary critical theories, including the ""polysystem theory"" that examines the relationship between the text and history. This is where the subject of the study, ""Cultural Systems in Fourth-Century Hijri Poetry,"" fits in. It is a systemic approach that initially focuses on textual analysis and later evolves into an investigation of anthroposocial systems. Polysystem theory reexamines the literary text in its relation to history, and among its most important figures are Clément Mouazen, Siegfried Schmidt, and Itamar Even-Zohar. One of the most significant objectives of this study is to explore the cultural mechanisms that have led to the emergence of a literary and historical center, as well as the mechanisms of literary and historical marginalization, in order to arrive at conclusions, including: - The construction of discourses of the center and the margin can be traced back to reception practices. - The body plays a crucial role in the construction of systems, forming an essential system in poetic writing with its two branches: marginal writing and central writing. In encomiastic discourse, the body constitutes an integral part of the poem's performance, while in satirical discourse, it becomes the dominant system in constructing that discourse, serving as a mechanism of cultural representation in marginal writing, with all its discourses represented by cunning, foolishness, and frivolity. - Arabic poetry of the fourth century Hijri was subjected to significant systems governed by the system of castration in panegyric poetry, and this system contributed to the construction of satirical discourse. - As for grand narratives, they consist of a set of systems represented by the systems of alterity and castration as core systems, while the other systems are peripheral systems. |
