Poetry of Ghazi Al-Gosaibi A study in light of the deconstructive approach

Abstract

The aim of this study is a deconstructive approach, as deconstruction is considered one of the most important modern critical methodologies that emerged after structuralism. It is an imported method that Arab critics have adopted, focusing on decoding texts. One of the most prominent pioneers of the deconstructive method is Jacques Derrida, who was interested in addressing suppressed and marginalized issues. His approach is based on several principles, including the elimination of anything central, fixed, and singular. Therefore, his ideas revolve around two main concepts that he used as a starting point: the centrality of reason and the centrality of the logos/word. Hence, his philosophy is characterized by fragmented and dispersed questions. So; This study attempts to reveal the role of deconstruction in the poetry of Ghazi Al-Gosaibi, his ability to create new poetic images, and to find deep meanings within the text that reveal his thoughts and emotions. Through this research, we can determine the features and criteria of deconstruction among the poet, and explain the tools it employed, and what the poet added to it with his poetry, by opening the context of the text from several different critical angles, and understanding the world in which it was formed.
