The Department of Arabic Language at the College of Education for Human Sciences at the University of Basra organized a panel discussion on sacrifice in contemporary Iraqi poetry, an approach to the concept and the powers that produce it.
The seminar aimed to explain the presence of the Eucharist as a concept produced by various authorities, including religious, political, social, intellectual, and at the level of religions, and how this concept was manifested in poetry as a literary and philosophical topic.
The seminar, presented by graduate student Abeer Ali Nehme, included research into the historical roots of the sacrifice and its connection to religious rituals, which constitute a basic ritual, whether these religions have a heavenly origin or are for earthly worship. The seminar showed that this concept still persists in the various religious rituals practiced by peoples, Although it is limited in contemporary thought to the moral aspect and not the material human aspect, which constitutes one of the cultural topics produced by religious, political and cultural authorities, this phenomenon has become widespread in poetry in its various religious, political and philosophical manifestations
