إرهاصات جمالية أصيلة لمفهوم "الصورة" في النقد العربي القديم

Abstract EN

The subject of this study is to highlight the efforts of ancient Arab critics to establish an aesthetic theory of the concept of "image, " and to reveal its value and technical function within the text.

Although they did not develop it as a concept in the precise area of terminology, and with the exception of Abd al-Qahir Al-Jorjani, who created a new metaphor to use the image.

The Arabic roots of the study of the image are available and are not missed, although the degree of attention varies between simple and transitory references and glimpses, and between a deep awareness of the nature and impact of the image on the text with an interest in the artistic and aesthetic aspects of it, as well as their focus on what the image is, its components such as the analogy; its tools, its types, the metaphor, its patterns, the verse and its sections.

The image becomes an essential element, contributing significantly to the aesthetics of the Arabic style, particularly poetry, which many of them come to, and demonstrating their full awareness of the fact that portrayal is a vivid expressionist process associated with the evolution of literary creation.

This process is an ongoing attempt to uncover the factors that turn ordinary writing into art and beauty.
