A Comparative Study of Adonis and Mourid Barghouti in the Postcolonial EraThis book conducts a comparative study of two contrasting poetic visions of the self and the other in contemporary Arabic literature through the works of Adonis and Mourid Barghouti.* Adonis (Strategy of Transcendence and Liberation): He seeks to free the Arab self from historical and religious constraints. He uses both Eastern and Western symbols to create a hybrid poetic identity that transcends geography and history, viewing the West not as an enemy but as a mirror for modernization.* Mourid Barghouti (Strategy of Resistance and Adherence to Memory): His poetry stems from the personal experience of forced exile. He portrays a wounded self that clings to memory and minute details to confront occupation. His work represents a counter-narrative that rewrites history from the victim's perspective.Scientific Value: The study's significance lies in its qualitative contribution to comparative and postcolonial studies in Arabic literature, applying concepts like subjectivity and counter-narrative to poetic texts.
