Nature Symbolization in Models of Al Qatami Poetry

Abstract

This research entitled ( Nature Symbolization in Models of Al Qatami Poetry )  includes the study of silent and moving nature issues. And the nature of the study is based on the disclosure of these topics as coding for several meanings and connotations. It is these themes symbolizing those meanings that activate the semantic value of these multiple themes in the poetic text. The study methodology is represented in the conceptual theoretical approach to the research title represented by the term coding, as its linguistic roots and its relationship to the concept of the symbol were traced, as well as the cognitive perceptions related to it and its active role in enhancing the text suggestive, semantic and synthetic. Then the third axis included the identification of silent and moving subjects, and the silent subjects of nature were represented by (ruins, rain, mountains, night, and sun).

While the moving subjects of nature were represented by (camel, horse, bull, wild cow and pigeon). With regard to the results of the research, the symbolic and suggestive level of those topics was revealed, which revealed the meanings of strength, unity, anxiety, patience, beauty and other meanings. And the manifestations of nature varied with its symbols for the poet, as rain became a symbol of memory, loneliness and nostalgia, the night a symbol of anxiety, contemplation, stillness and fear, the sun a symbol of life and light, rain a symbol of giving and survival, a camel a symbol of journey, companionship, endurance and patience, horses a symbol of courage, strength, victory and survival, and the bull and wild cows a symbol of anxiety. Fear and flight, the dove is a symbol of intimacy, nostalgia and safety.

Al-Qatami’s poetry of nature was a world full of symbolic meanings and connotations that were embodied in its spatial, temporal and animal manifestations, and this resulted in images and deep meanings in its symbolic, existential and emotional inspiration.
