Studying the role of nature in drawing the image of the arrogant other in the literature of resistance, a pictorial study; Arabic poems about the two martyrs as a model

Abstract

The world was shocked in 2021 after hearing the shocking news of the assassination of two of the most prominent leaders of the resistance, the martyr Qassem Soleimani and the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis. Everyone spoke and wrote about the news from different perspectives, so the poet of the resistance began to mourn and raise awareness to calm the feelings of anger that flared up in his chest. Through those poems, he drew various images of arrogance and the arrogant other, especially the American one, reflecting his vision of arrogance and the arrogant.

      This research aims to study the images drawn by resistance poets from different countries about arrogance and its types and the features that each of them considered for this arrogant other, a comparative study of the assassination of the two martyrs, a comparative imageological study.

      The research will present the most prominent sensory and material images of the arrogant American other in resistance poetry, showing the role of nature in manifesting the image of the arrogant American other, in addition to mentioning the features that lie behind those sensory images of the American other and the artistic images that poets employed in drawing those sensory images.

The study reached several results, the most prominent of which are:

The poet describes nature based on the nature of resistance and arrogance in order to define the duality of the resisting self and the arrogant other, so the images that the poets conjured from the belly of nature and its phenomena are positive and negative.

The poet benefits from the strongest vocabulary and material phenomena to be indicative of his perseverance in what he demands of revenge and retaliation. He adds in his poem suggestive phrases and vocabulary that indicate strength, vitality and determination stemming from anger and the demand for revenge.

The resistant poet tries to draw some material features in several graphic images, not to describe nature and what is related to it, but rather to establish moral concepts that lie behind those images, such as the concept of strength, weakness, failure, victory, death and life.

The most important concepts that the poets sought behind those sensory images are: the weakness of the enemy's forces and consolidating the extent of the weakness of the capabilities that arrogance relies on on the one hand, and the strength of the axis of resistance and its leaders and their destabilization of the entity of the unjust usurper and eliminating it or the promise of the dark future that awaits it on the other hand.
