Profiting from Portraying Imbecility and Absurdity in Abbasid Poetry

Abstract

The history of profiting from poetry has developed many times through time, ?grantors? of poetry, and the level of high or low effectiveness in it. Some of these developments are considered negative or described as a deficiency in the history of poetry. Profiting from portraying imbecility and absurdity in poetry is a result of my readings and understanding of integrated social and cultural contexts. I have assumed that this phenomenon represents a similarity to the poetry school representing a relation connection among poets, in addition to other reasons connecting texts. This is what I have investigated to validate the authenticity of this phenomenon. I have also taken care in stating evidence that proves that the poets of this phenomenon are sane and portray imbecility in poetry on purpose. Therefore, I have gathered their quotes and reasons behind this approach and their attitude towards it. I have also linked all that with its social and cultural contexts to fit this phenomenon into its correct position in the history of literature without hiding or denying its existence, and without exaggerating it and its effect. Being convinced that every occurring development in poetry – regular or irregular - relies on a provoking cultural system. Reading the texts of such development may lead to understanding some or all its causes.
