بواعث الاغتراب الذاتي والوجودي عند شعراء العصر الإسلامي

Abstract

This research examines the most important causes of existential alienation and self-isolation among poets of the Islamic era from a psychoanalytic perspective. The Islamic era is considered a historical period that witnessed extensive social and religious transformations that directly impacted the psychological experiences of poets who faced internal conflicts between pre-Islamic heritage and modern Islamic values. The research focused on analyzing selected texts by prominent poets such as Ka'b ibn Zuhair, Al-Khansa', Labid ibn Rabi'ah, Hassan ibn Thabit, and Suwaid ibn Kahil Al-Yashkuri. The research aims to uncover the manifestations and expressions of self-alienation, existential anxiety, and feelings of guilt and repentance that emerged in their poetry, examining the motivations and causes of this alienation and its artistic manifestations in their poetic texts. The study demonstrated that poetry was a means of expressing psychological and existential tensions. It also provided a space for attempts to reconcile the old and new selves, and for the search for meaning and reconciliation with existence. The research findings emphasized the importance of applying psychological and existential theories to Islamic literary criticism to understand the depth of poetic texts and grasp the complexity of the human experience expressed by poets during that period.
