Abstract

The study relies on the analytical descriptive approach, benefiting from the concepts of structuralism and genetic structuralism to analyze poetic texts. Modern criticism methods are applied to classical Arabic poetry in order to reveal the underlying worldview and its artistic manifestations. The study concludes that Andalusian poetry presents a coherent and diverse representation of the worldview, expressed through multiple artistic forms and themes. It reflects a deep interaction between the poet and his surrounding world, shaped by historical and cultural contexts. The study hopes to contribute to enriching Arabic scholarship and to serve as a valuable reference for future researchers. Obstract:- The purpose of this study is to primarily shed light on the artistic representations of the global vision in Andalusian poetry from the year 92 AH (Islamic conquests) until the fall of the Kingdom of Granada. Andalusian poetry is considered a rich intellectual and cultural heritage reflecting human awareness of the self, the other, nature, and destiny, revealing that poetry is not merely an aesthetic expression but a profound reflection of a comprehensive vision. This study aims to identify how the global vision is crystallized in Andalusian poetry, along with analyzing and interpreting its artistic manifestations through the study and analysis of some selected poetic examples. It also seeks to reveal the interaction between the poet and his world by choosing some diverse poetic themes such as love, nature, religion, philosophy, elegy, and travel, while providing a renewed critical reading of this poetic heritage. The importance of this study lies in its serious and diligent attempt to move away from traditional objective and stylistic approaches towards uncovering the deep structures that contribute to the formation of the world vision. It adopts a modern critical perspective, which helps to highlight the cultural and intellectual awareness rooted in Andalusian poetry and enriches the field of Arabic literary studies.
