The significance of the concept of poetic originality in the modern Arab critical perspective

Abstract

The concept of authenticity has multiple levels in the thinking of critics, and therefore it is not an uttered term or an agreed saying in their activities. Rather, it is an obsession and an idea that takes multiple dimensions and different faces, so once it is modernity in one of its faces, and once it is in opposition to it, and at other times it means self-creativity that stems from the individual’s self without looking at the factors that constitute him and his roots, and once it means the roots that provide creativity with what links it to its origin the old; That is why every research on any creative poetic issue is in one aspect a search for the idea of ​​originality, and from here the idea of ​​research starts as it will not be feasible to search for the term originality in the work of the critics. Rather, it is feasible to investigate the idea in those activities, and thus the issue of poetic originality is an epistemological issue that falls outside the limits of limitation and limitation. Each critic has his own perspective on this issue.
