Abstract

The research examines the transformations of the poetic discourse in the praise poem of Al-Mutanabi to reveal the various influences that contributed to the formation of this discourse, the emergence of the active subject in it, and its disappearance in his praise of the support of the Al-Buihi state, and what followed this in the meanings that contradict with his entire poetry. His praise speech went through two phases that drew the limits of his literary life and normal life and were reflected in the construction of his praise poem after the poet threw his ambition on the thresholds of politics. From the origins of the art of praise; To highlight the transformation in his speech and to realize the technical characteristic of the praise poem and its connection with the transformation of the poet's personality from one condition to another.
