نظام الهبة في الأدب العربي القديم : مقاربة سوسيولوجية لقصيدة المدح

الملخص EN

Praise is the most important genre of classical Arabic poetry.

However, most ancient Arab critics believed that the poet hires a celebrity to win.

As a result, the status of praise declined, and the poet was accused of lying and hypocrisy.

However, the value of praise requires a holistic approach that considers the social context in which the praise poem was received and the nature of the relationships that bind the actors of the praise ritual.

This is why we are going to use the approach of the French anthropologist Marcel.

Based on this approach, we can say that the praise poem is a potlatch given according to its own rituals, with principles that are based on it, and it also has objectives that go beyond what is material to this, which is moral and social.
