The Rhetorical Conflict in Greer and Farzagh: (Study in Dialogue and Text Interaction)

Abstract

This research examines the manifestations of conflict in the ruins of Jarir and Farzagq, through a dialogical and interactive approach to the poetic texts exchanged between the two poets. The analysis shows that the poetry of the fallen is not based on monophonic sound, but based on an argumentative debate, established by the textual interaction between poems, so that each poem arises as a conscious and direct response to the previous, which makes the second poetic text creates from the womb of the first, and responds to it within a rhetorical dialectic based on the claim and objection.

This rhetorical struggle is manifested in anti-binaries (me/another, strength/weakness), where the poet takes his pride as a weapon in establishing positive effectiveness, while using satire to undermine the image of the opponent and show him in the position of negative effectiveness.

The research concludes that the representations of conflict through dialogue and textual interaction in the faults of Jarir and Farzadq are embodied through multiple mechanisms, most notably symmetry, opposition, and objection, which makes each text as a deconstructive and interpretive reading of the previous text, contributing to the production of a new counter-discourse, which tries to undermine the adversarial discourse and reshape its connotations to serve the poetic position of the second product.
