Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research focuses on exploring the poetry of Al-Tughra's through the analysis of the opposing dualities that resonate in his texts, revealing his deep awareness of the contradictions of existence and its movements in the universe. The poet reshapes these opposites through the power of language, transforming them into dynamic structures capable of encompassing his visions of the complexities of life and society.
These dualities are not limited to being a rhetorical tool; rather, they interact within a thematic framework that includes the poet’s engagement with humanity, place, and time, reflecting his cosmic and existential worldview. From an artistic perspective, the opposites form linguistic images and paradoxes that enhance the aesthetics of poetry, where the aesthetic function integrates with the meaning function to create a state of opposing balance that mirrors the poet's interaction with life and society within a profound philosophical context.
