Abstract

In recent decades, Arabic poetry has undergone a profound transformation in its structure and function. It is no longer merely a means of aesthetic or personal expression, but rather a central discourse for questioning reality, exposing hidden structures of power, and representing the cultural and political tensions tearing Arab societies apart. In this context, the poet Adonis's experience stands out as an advanced model of modernist poetry, which goes beyond mere representation, but rather engages in deconstructing and reproducing prevailing cultural and ideological structures through critical interpretive methods. His poem "Orbits of the Orchestra of the Hundred-Year Islamic-Islamic War?" is a telling example of this endeavor, reflecting the struggle of the self against systems of hegemony and attempting to establish a poetic horizon that reshapes the relationship between humanity, history, and identity.This research begins with a fundamental question: How does the poetic discourse in this poem contribute to reshaping collective consciousness and cultural identities in the Arab world, away from stereotypical representations and ideological repetition? From this perspective, the research seeks to explore the poetic and symbolic tools the text employs to create a different discourse that intersects with concepts of power, self, and reality, through a critical vision that transcends the political surface to the symbolic interior. The research adopts the method of critical discourse analysis as developed by Norman Fairclough, through three stages: description, interpretation, and clarification, to reveal the mechanisms of meaning formation within the text and its relationship to the surrounding social, cultural, and political contexts. The research results revealed that the poetic discourse in this poem not only reflects reality, but also reproduces it through images and metaphors that engage in symbolic resistance, opening the way for a new awareness that transcends isolation and proposes critical possibilities for dismantling power and liberating the self from the constraints of the dominant discourse
