المتن الشعري وشعرية الرؤيا في الشعر الجاهلي

Abstract

There is an intimate connection between poetry and vision in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry; for a poem cannot be a great achievement unless it carries the human vision and its quest to dismantle the existing reality in favor of a possible one. Vision can be considered an act of transcendence in pre-Islamic poetry beyond what is collectively perceived, through the self's revelation of the invisible relationships between the scenery and the subjective vision carried by the poem. On the other hand, poetic vision in pre-Islamic poetry attempts to question reality according to the self's perceptions and intellectual beliefs that define the nature of these relationships with beings and things. Existence becomes a stage for the creative interaction between the self and poetic utterance, making the poem a parallel world that the poet inhabits to fulfill his self within the poetic structure. This is what makes pre-Islamic poetry a timeless and spaceless poetic text, shaping the collective unconscious
