The Identity of Critical Discourse in the Book the Logic of Palm Trees by Critic Ali Haddad

Abstract

This study seeks to root the modern critical production in the book (The Logic of Palm Trees, Reading Summons in Modern Iraqi Poetry) by the Iraqi critic Ali Haddad, with the aim of revealing the critical cultural identity and its Arab authenticity, especially the creator’s affiliation to his environment and homeland, which was expressed in his linguistic uses and critical practices that It was woven in order to decode the laws of the creative Iraqi poetic text, which is characterized by unique historical, environmental, and human characteristics and influences, whose features, feelings, characteristics, and generations we did not find in other poetic experiences. In addition, we find the critical identity in Iraq comprehensive and It is not restricted or closed in its achievements and seeks to build bridges of communication with other experiences, not with the aim of imitation, cultural reproduction, or distorting its features. Rather, we find it tends to be open under the umbrella of values, authority, and the authentic Arab heritage of literature and criticism. The relationship between identity and acculturation is a living exchange. Between the individual privacy of identity and positive cultural practices capable of giving and adding to every discourse new spaces for cognitive, human and creative communication between individual identity and other nations.
