Abstract

This study deals with the realist transformation of al-Sayyab's and Darwish’s villages, called "Jekur" and "al-Birwa", respectively. It initially addresses both authors’ poems, al-Sayyab’s “Jekur's Murthya'” and Darwish’s “al-Birwa's Talilah'”, by revealing the paradox of semiotics of address in both poems. This shows the compatibility of the word Murthya with the condition of Jekur, which has been transformed into fossilized materialism as well as the harmony of the word Talilah and the state of al-Birwa, whose ancient ruins were dissolved. This research illustrates the paradoxes which resulted from this transformation that affected space in both villages. It explains that while the green Jekur has changed to a black one, al-Birwa turned from a vibrant place to a deserted landscape. This means that these places become alike in the two poems in terms of transformation from one state to another, yet Jekur's change essentially differs from al-Birwa’s transformation.

الملخص

يعالج هذا البحث واقع التحول الذي جرى لقرية السياب جيكور، وقرية درويش البروة، ويقف عند قصيدتي "مرثية جيكور" و"طللية البروة"، ويكشف عن المفارقة بينهما، في البدء، اعتمادًا على المفارقة في سيمياء العنوان بين القصيدتين، فتبيَّن بذلكَ أن لفظة مرثية تتلاءم مع حالة جيكور التي تبدلت نحو الماديّة المتحجرة، وأن لفظة طللية تنسجم مع حالة البروة التي امّحت آثارها. ثم يوضح هذا البحث المفارقات التي نشأت بأثر من ذاك التحول الذي أصاب فضاء القريتين، ويبيّنُ أن جيكور الخضراء استحالت سوداء، وأن البروة تبدلت من مكان عامر إلى طلل مقفر، فتشابهت القريتان، في قصيدتي الشاعرين، في قضية التحول والتبدل من حالة إلى أخرى، ولكنَّ تحوُّلَ جيكور، في طبيعته، يختلف عنه تحوُّلُ البروة.
