A master’s thesis in the Department of Arabic Language at the College of Education, Qurna, University of Basra, discussed the study of the phenomenon of the everyday and the familiar in the poetry of the visual poet Siraj Muhammad, by the master’s student, Murtada Zamil Hattab.
The thesis aimed to study the phenomenon in Siraj Muhammad’s poetry by reviewing his poetry collections and selecting poems closely related to the everyday and the familiar.
The thesis examines the phenomenon and explains its technical characteristics in three chapters, headed by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The introduction was devoted to studying the everyday and the familiar, starting from the linguistic and terminological definition and even identifying the most important opinions that were expressed in them. The first chapter dealt with the most prominent artistic linguistic elements that characterized the poet’s daily poetry in three sections: linguistic shift, verbal paradox, and linguistic tributaries. As for the second chapter, the research dealt with the daily and familiar image and included three sections as well: the partial image, the complex image, and the total image. The third chapter was entitled the daily and familiar narrative, Divided into three sections: personality, event, and space-time.
The results were crystallized at the conclusion of the letter, the most prominent of which was the poet’s tendency to exploit this phenomenon as a means of influence on the recipient, since poetry is a tool for conveying thought to others, and it should keep pace with the times and human thought. In addition, he intends to seize the everyday and the familiar as a means of crossing alongside the poetic imagination as a tool for expression and revelation.
