The Aesthetic Study of Different Types of Imagery in Bakir Ali's Poetry
Zhino Abdulrahman Mohammed, Hazhar Faqe Suleman Hussein
A certain kind of beauty is something we constantly seek out in the literary world along with ideas and messages. Understanding and evaluating the text using poetic and aesthetic standards, as well as the existence of literary and artistic background and experience, is necessary to uncover these beauties. Poetic imagery has long been regarded as the primary aesthetic genre in poetry that best conveys the beauty of literary works. Like any other contemporary Kurdish poet, Bakr Ali used poetic images and their types in his texts. This study provides a theoretical discussion of the key concepts of poetic imagery, aesthetics, and poetic imagery genres. The study intends to demonstrate the capacity of the poet's literary and poetic background in establishing kinds of poetic images as well as to identify and present the aesthetics of various genres and types of poetic images in the poet's poetic texts. The study concluded that Bakr Ali, as a talented poet with a rich background, used a variety of poetic images, including metaphor, simile, individual and accumulated images, sensory images, moving and static images, and so on, to paint his worldview, his thoughts, and his turbulent life with feelings and emotions. Emotionally speaking, poetic imagery takes up more space than other kinds of imagery. Simultaneously, he depicted all forms of poetic imagery from his poems' aesthetics, including language and the harsh reality it conveyed as well as sentiments, ideas, and national conceptions, among other types of poetic imagery expressed through melodic language.
Volume 9 · Issue 5 · December 2022Enlightenment Thinking and its Consequences in Contemporary Kurdish Poetry
Lanja Abdurahman Ghareeb, Mohhammed Amin Abdullah
Enlightenment as an intellectual concept is the result of the perspectives of many thinkers and philosophers in the western world. It has become the source of deep change in the western culture and thinking; it has also come into the eastern world and culture. Eventually, the influence of that movement arrived at the Kurdish literature and can easily be found in the works of Kurdish poets and authors. They dealt with the phenomenon in accordance with their understanding in Kurdish poems. Although the influence of the phenomenon has not reflected in the minds of the Kurdish poets, due to the inappropriate conditions of our nation, as is the case in the western world, the Kurdish poets could take advantage from the various aspects of phenomenon and renew the content of the Kurdish poetry. Enlightenment poets played an effective role in raising the awareness of Kurdish society, especially those who were aware of the innovation movement in the world and had a deep understanding of the conditions of the Kurdish society. Hence, poetry became a moving and a educating message. As a result, we see that the content of the poetry of that period has experienced a remarkable change.
