The structure of time in the poem “Christ After the Crucifixion” by Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab

Abstract

The literary creative work, whatever it may be, prose or poetry, contains narration, and the
contemporary Arabic poetry corpus differs in the proportion of its inclusion of the narrative
narrative element. Because modern poetry is narrative poetry, and taking into account the
poet's experience and his influence by the (English) poetic school and doctrine, can it be
scientifically approached with the poetics of narration? If Al-Sayyab's poetic experience was
distinguished by his influence by modern English poetry, manifested in his rhetorical
introduction, does this occur in isolation from the structure of the discourse of the poem "Christ
after the Crucifixion" and through the element of time, narrated and told as a model? It is
assumed that the deconstruction of temporal paradoxes in this narrative poem will yield
connotations as a result of analyzing an internal imaginary time in the story parallel to the
reference story time on the one hand, and as a result of the paradox of the story time from the
discourse time to the narrated time according to Gerard Genette on the other hand
