The magazine’s editors sought to generate a profound change in the role and form of Arabic poetry as a tool to support a significant leap forward in the Arab thinking and writing. The book traces the mechanism of development of the magazine’s content and the thinking of its main editors, through in-depth textual analysis of the three main branches of the magazine’s content: translated poetry, original Arabic poetry, and articles of literary criticism. Each of these branches is accompanied by a complete appendix of relevant items. The analysis revals the significant role that \u003ci\u003eSh‘ir\u003c\/i\u003e played in enabling a new kind of secular and personal poetics, including that of prose-poetry and vision poems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in the 1950s-60s, Sh'ir magazine led a change in the role and form of Arabic poetry, supporting modernization in Arab thinking and writing through its articles of literary criticism, translated and original Arabic poetry, all promoting a new kind of secular and personal poetics, including that of prose-poetry and vision and visual poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044449648983,"sku":"9783631775639","price":50.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631775639.jpg?v=1750961646","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-magazine-shi-r-and-the-poetics-of-modern-arabic-poetry-9783631775639","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
