شعر الصعاليك : قراءة في المتن

Abstract EN

This study tries to consider a part of pre-Islamic poetry and to bring to light an important category, that of traditional Arabic poetry.

It‟s a matter of revealing the facets of Saâlik poets‟ lives, through an anthropological analysis of their texts, far from historical prejudices.

The main differences existing in the daily artistic lives of these Saâlik poets, compared to other classical poets, is the absence of the nostalgia phenomenon replaced by the mountain and mirador metaphor, the place of these poets natural and artistic refuge.

The strong presence of wild animals recorded in their texts, doesn„t express the presence of frightening or terrifying mythic elements, but rather that of companions and family.

These differences aim at violating tribal taboos, its honor, its rites, its traditions, and to revolt against its power, questioning its organization, as well as its social institutions.

These poets are in search of a scheme for society in which man‟s individuality is not disintegrated and his personality doesn‟t fade before tribal symbols and its masters.
