Abstract

The literature of any civilization represents the foundation of consciousness and culture of that nation; for this reason, this domain occupies a high status and value among all nations that respect civilization. The Arab world is not exempt from this matter, considering itself one of the most prominent literary leaders in the world. Poetry has always played a significant role in literature, and sometimes as a literary component accompanied by imagination, which has ignited wonderful poems. The contemporary Arab poet Muhammad Mahdi Al-Jawahiri is considered one of the pioneers of resistance literature, as his poetry blends with various types of linguistic techniques. Imagination, as the primary element of resistance literature, led in Jawahiri's poems to creating sophisticated images in the form of symbolic systems, utilizing both positive and negative symbols. The primary objective of this research, conducted using a descriptive-analytical methodology, is to provide a model study of Jawahiri's poetry, as well as to discover and examine the imaginative system of his poems based on the imagination theory of the French theorist Gilbert. The research results indicate that various symbols with positive values (ascendant, luminous or scenic and separative) and negative values (descendent, dark, and animalistic) have manifested in Jawahiri's poetry. This phenomenon contributed to creating new images in his poetry and establishing a close relationship between the poem, the poet, and the reader or recipient.
