Psychological Dimensions Through the Semiotics of Discourse in Abd-Yaghuth Al-Harithi's Poem (Ala La Taloomany)

Abstract

Abd Yaghuth al-Harithi is a pre-Islamic poet. He was the master of his people and their knight. He was captured in a war with Banu Tamim, so he was bound and thrown on the ground for people to mock at. Then a vein in his body called al-Akhal was cut off, and he was left to bleed to death. Don't blame me), he lamented himself, so the poem was charged with many mixed emotions, and contradictory psychological tensions, which were represented in psychological defeat, brokenness, Arab pride, the desire to survive, and the domination of the personality of the knight, the leader of the people.

      The research dealt with the poet's psychological state through this poem, which he said while he was in captivity, and on the brink of death. Through the text, and finally the artistic and objective features in the text, and linking them to the poet's psychological state.

     The research reached nine conclusions, the most important of which are: The personality of the leader, Aziz al-Nafs, who has a high position, appeared in the text, and represented the psychological formation of the poet, and the authentic Arab nose he grew up with, which stuck with him until his harsh last moments. Likewise, the state of confusion and attraction experienced by the poet in the depth of the text is a reflection of the poet's attraction between the personality of the leader and the nose of the Arab, and his refraction and clinging to life, which is dictated by the nature of the human soul. The poem also adhered to the unity of its subject, and this contradicts a lot of pre-Islamic poetry, as the poet was not psychologically prepared to diversify its topics. The poet's discourse in the poem also varied in a manner commensurate with the psychological distress he experienced.
