الغربة و الإغتراب في شعر الإمام الشافعي

Abstract EN

This paper studies the portrayal of displacement and alienation in Shaft's poetry.

It also investigates the reasons and the impact these two themes have on his work.

This investigation is carried out because Shafi's alienation, as portrayed in his poetry, is unlike any other in that it takes place due to his quest for knowledge and displacement from his homeland.

It is thus clear that this alienation, which came as a direct consequence of his continuous travels as well as the financial and psychological hardships he experienced, led to his frustration and bitterness.

Because of these social and psychological circumstances, Shafi complained bitterly of his contemporaries and the contradictions prevalent at the time which, in turn, resulted in his portrayal of the tragic reality he was living; a reality which can only be tolerated by the pious.

Therefore, it is my contention that the readers of Shafi's autobiography and poetry ought to benefit from his experience and leam a lesson from the sufferings of other Arab scholars.
