Abstract

This article examines figurative expressions as a formal device in Bashari al-Bustani's poetry and, within the framework of perception theory, analyzes such expressions as a tool for a deeper understanding of poetry and cultural communication. Reception theory, which emphasizes the active role of the reader in analyzing the text, is based on the principle that meanings are created not only in the text but also in the reader's interactions with it. The present discussion examines the impact of figurative language on human emotions and experiences, and also considers their importance in conveying deep social and cultural messages. The necessity of this research is due to the lack of comprehensive studies in the field of the influence of figurative expressions on literary and cultural processes in contemporary Arabic poetry, and specifically in the poetry of Bashari al-Bustani. Therefore, it attempts to clarify the reflection of cultural and social interactions in al-Bustani's poetry by using qualitative and analytical methodologies. The results of the research show that figurative expressions in Bostani's poetry act as a driving force for creating deep and diverse connotations and help reconstruct social and cultural meaning. Also, by analyzing the emotional, visual, and social implications in Bashari Al-Bustani's poetry, it was determined that the poet, by using figurative expressions, has been able to identify and highlight important themes such as national identity, femininity, and social disabilities.
