The Revival of Heritage in Al-Arqalah Al-Kalbi’s Poetry

Abstract

This research aims to provide an image of the most important tributaries of the religious, poetic, and cultural heritage of Al_Arqalah’s poetic experience. The research highlights these invisible heritage signs: how they were employed and how to make use of them through adapting and embedding them within the text flow. The most important of such textualized signs appear in the texts of the holy Koran, followed by the experience of the greatest poets, based on a multitude of mental culture, such as proverbs, biographies, astronomy, and many others. In addition, the research reveals the extent of* Al-Arqalah* in controlling different sources of heritage signs, and benefiting from his experience in the refinement of his poetry, using gesture and absorption mechanisms, alterations, the code/ sign reference, deletion, and forwarding and backwarding.
