جمالية التلقي في قصيدة (إرادة الحباة) للشابي دراسة وصفية تحليلية

Abstract

This study investigates the Aesthetics of Reception in the poem "The Will to Life" (Iradat al-Hayat) by the renowned Tunisian poet Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi. It explores the dynamic relationship between the poetic text and the recipient, examining how the aesthetic experience is manifested through language, symbols, poetic imagery, and rhythm.

The study demonstrates that "The Will to Life" is not merely a static literary text but an interactive aesthetic experience, in which the recipient acts as a partner in the production of imagination and meaning. Furthermore, the research clarifies the theoretical framework of Reception Theory—including its origins and key pioneers—and highlights its significance within both classical and contemporary Arabic literary criticism.

Adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology aligned with the principles of the Reception Theory school, the study concludes with an in-depth analysis of selected verses from the poem to illustrate the practical application of these aesthetic concepts.
