Read More 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..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.

Read More A crucial element in the creation of creative works, especially poetry, is time. Poetry encompasses the past, present, and future and is therefore inherently entwined with time. In poetry, time is more than just a chronological order; it is an artistic dimension that allows the poet to traverse historical levels and examine human mind.. Because of this interaction, poets are able to produce complex, multifaceted poetic experiences that appeal to readers' emotions as well as their intellect. The time dimension is a fundamental component of the "poetic space," or the world the poet depicts, which is made up of interrelated aspects. A poet creates a unique temporal landscape when writing a poem. They may project hopes and fears into the future, recollect old experiences, or totally absorb the details of the present. Poetry's richness, complexity, and life are derived from the interweaving of these temporal dimensions. This dissertation uses Gérard Genette's narrative theory as a framework to analyze the temporal space in Fadhil Ibrahim Al-Hamdani's poetry using a descriptive technique and content analysis. According to the study, Al-Hamdani's poetry exhibits a distinctive temporal structure that combines linear progression and interactive dynamics, combining internal time—which reflects the poet's self-awareness—with exterior time, which is connected to material reality, to create a cohesive temporal fabric. To create this chronological structure, the poet uses a variety of narrative approaches. Foreshadowing (anticipation) is used to express individual viewpoints and allude to potential futures, whereas flashbacks (retrospection) are used to record human experiences and conjure past events. While ellipses and summary are used to condense lengthy passages, descriptive pauses, scenic descriptions, and dialogues are used to slow down the story and elaborate on themes. This enables the poet to condense complicated ideas into succinct and powerful expressions.
