الخطاب الحجاجي في قصيدة "مقاطع من قصيد التعب" لمالك بوديبة

Abstract EN

This study examines the argumentative pattern in Malek Boudiba's contemporary poem Excerpts from the Poems of Tiredness that portrays a semantic dark image regarding the meaning of sadness, grief, and spiritual alienation that marked his short life.

The poet creates a nihilistic and subtle poetic premise to convince the reader that the material life is the grave of the soul and the beauty, and the exile of poetry which is defiled by life's hardships and betrayals.

Despite pretense that one might overcome these hardships, they remain engraved in the human soul bringing the wind of annihilation and making life seem like stump of hollow palm-trees.

Based on this pessimistic dark perspective, this article tries to search the argumentative mechanisms used in Malek Boudiba's poem Excerpts from the Poems of Tiredness that make his poem influential and convincing and lead the reader to feel sympathy for him.

Moreover, this article traces the semantic dimension of the poet's philosophical view towards poetry and life that denies his poetic affection any concrete role in real life and claims that social dignity is of more importance than poetry, and even more important than life ilself.
