العقاد بين الثورة و المحافظة : دراسة تحليلية لموقفه النقدي

الملخص EN

This research paper attempts to approach some of Akkad's visions and opinions, trying to uncover the contrast and contradiction in them, seeking to understand this phenomenon, analyze it, explain it, and reveal what stands behind it from the change in Akkad's attitudes and personality through his long journey with literary criticism.

  Faced with this, the researcher did not find an escape from relying on the descriptive method, trying to describe this phenomenon - first - and stand on it, and then analyze it - secondly - through the various mechanisms of analysis, through discussion, understanding and interpretation.

Significant in modern Arab criticism.

We can summarize Akkad's critical vision in three basic issues: Firstly: his stance on poetry (literature) that prevailed in the Arab world at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, during which time the name Akkad began to appear.

Secondly: his call for innovation in literature, which justifies - on the one hand - his position on its classical predecessors, and stems - on the other hand - from his vision of what literature is and what it should be.

And third: his position on the later and advocates of renewal in literature and poetry in particular, a position that may have revealed the contradiction that we have referred to.

  The researcher has reached a number of results, the most important of which are:   1- Al-Akkad remained firmly attached to the basis of his theory, stressing that poetry is conscience, and that describing poetry as such does not mean that it is devoid of thinking, as they are inseparable.

  2- Al-Akkad also adhered to his vision of the metaphor, stressing that stopping at the outward appearance of things is not the poet's job, because only the common people describe things in their outward forms and colors.

  3- Al-Akkad's vision of rhythm has changed, as there is a big difference between Akkad revolting against traditional rhythms calling for rebellion against them, especially the unity of the rhyme, and the contract that adheres to classical traditional rhythms.
