The dissertation has been examined at Department of Arabic Language / College of Education for the Humanities / University of Basra
The dissertation tackles the topic of alienation among contemporary Iraqi poets, from its psychological and social aspects, explaining its most important manifestations and the most important reasons driving it, and showing the poets’ position on this phenomenon and how they deal with it. Alienation represents a sharp turning point in the path of contemporary Iraqi poetry, and a reflection of poetry becoming an effective tool in forming a clear picture of the reality of society.
The study aims to reveal alienation as a complex problematic and existential phenomenon that has accompanied human existence from its inception to the present day. It depicts for us an existential conflict between the tendency towards power, possession and domination, and mental tendencies that also work to achieve themselves and reject control, domination and possession. The phenomenon of alienation refers to a different equation between dominant selves and submissive selves who have lost their personality and influential effectiveness.
The dissertation concludes that the term alienation means: the exclusion of a person from himself or his society through his loss in a reality that is foreign to him or close to him, or through his feeling of isolation or separation from his effectiveness towards himself and others
