The Construction of the Poetic Experience and the Problematics of Poeticity: A Critical Approach

Abstract

This study examines the concept of the poetic experience and its relationship to the notion of poeticity, proceeding from a critical perspective that integrates the psychological, artistic, and linguistic dimensions. The research highlights that the poetic experience is not merely a linguistic skill or a formal craft; rather, it is a comprehensive psychological and cosmic image that takes shape in the poet’s consciousness and sensibility before being realized in the text. It is grounded in artistic sincerity and emotional authenticity, and is intrinsically connected to psychological and existential truths as well as to social reality.

The study also addresses the concept of poeticity both linguistically and terminologically, tracing its lexical roots and critical implications in Arabic literary heritage and modern Western criticism. It sheds light on the problematics of the term, the multiplicity of its definitions, and the diversity of its fields of application. The research concludes that poeticity represents the essence of literariness that is, the internal laws that render a text literary, whether it be poetry, narrative, or any other form of artistic discourse.
