The Aesthetics of Place in the Diwan of Ya Dar Maiya by Youssef Hasan Al-Aarif

Abstract

The research aims at revealing the aesthetics of place in the Diwan of Ya Dar Maiya ‘O, Maiya’s Home’ by Youssef Al-Aarif, using the stylistic approach as a means of study. The research was divided into an introduction and six sections, observing the historical reference to the Arab poetic heritage, which dealt with the phenomenon of place in an artistic way, in order to show the impact and influence between the old and the modern. The researcher touched on monitoring Al-Aarif's intellectual tendencies and their relationship to the emotion that dominated him during his recitation of verses. It was necessary to use the colors of Arabic rhetoric such as figures of speech, stylistics, and semantics in order to make the artistic aesthetics that the poet intended in his poetry understandable. The study concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are: highlighting the aesthetics of the place in the poetry of Youssef Al-Aarif, by studying the aesthetics of the place in terms of its association with other arts.
