Intertextuality in the Poetry of the Syrian Revolution

Abstract

 Intertextuality is one of the most prominent stylistic and artistic phenomena that has attracted the attention of scholars in modern criticism and sparked extensive theoretical and applied discussions, due to its capacity to open texts to mutual dialogue and unleash their semantic and aesthetic energies. The literary text is no longer perceived as a closed unit or a self-contained entity, but is instead understood within a network of interactive relationships that link it to other texts, whether preceding or contemporary, in a clear manifestation of the dynamism of language and its renewal in intertwined creative contexts. This study focuses on examining intertextuality in the poetry of the Syrian revolution as a form of resistance discourse rich in religious, historical, and literary allusions.
