Abstract

The research reads the system of alienation of the subaltern in the mu'allaqat of Antarah, Al-Harith and Al-Nabigha, and the system of the subaltern’s reassertion of himself, and the arguments he presents for the sake of this assertion, this proof, assuming that the mu'allaqat, the subject of the research, are a cultural act whose authors aim at a cultural goal, and that the mu'allaqat have an implicit objective, systematic unity, no matter how different the poetic purposes differ in apparent system. Objective: The research aims to reveal the systematic tricks in which the subaltern practices his cultural action, and the mechanisms by which he establishes the system of reasserting the self, in the face of alienation proven without his subconscious. Thus, the research achieves an interrogation of the hidden in these mu'allaqat in terms of their being a cultural act. Methodology: The research follows the descriptive approach in explaining cultural incidents, and the analytical approach in identifying a number of patterns implicit in these citations, relying on the outcomes of cultural theory, and on concepts and terminology related to cultural criticism. Results: The research concluded several results, the most important of which is that the appropriate rhetorical action is linked to obtaining the appropriate political and societal reaction. Thus, Antara achieved the desired freedom, Al-Harith achieved closeness and won over to the side of King Amr ibn Hind, and finally vindication was achieved for Al-Nabigha Al-Dhubyani before Al-Numan ibn Al-Mundhir, and that the poet’s political awareness was necessary for him to remain alive and have an enhanced position.
