Abstract





This research aims to demonstrate the impact of artistic techniques in shaping intellectual visions in Ahmed Jarallah's poetry, through an examination of three stylistic techniques clearly evident in his texts: black comedy, parallel montage, and video clips. The study revealed that these techniques are not used in his poetry merely as aesthetic devices, but rather as structural elements that influence the formation of the stylistic and intellectual structure of the text. Each technique lends a distinctive character to the poetic language and directs the paths of meaning within the poem.


           The research highlights the openness of modern poetry to visual and performing arts, allowing it to interact with multiple expressive styles within what is known as genre overlap. This has helped the poet transcend traditional forms of expression and expand the horizons of interpretation and reception.


     As a creative thinker with diverse interests (poetry, short stories, novels, essays, autobiographies, criticism, and painting), Ahmed Jarallah has sought to produce texts that combine profound intellectual insights with a renewed artistic form, drawing on the techniques of theater and cinema, particularly in poems such as "War Taught Us," "Cold War," and "Rolling." Thus, for him, the poem has become an experimental space that invests in the expressive potential of other arts, activating them in the service of poetic structure. These techniques have served as a framework for his poetic experience and a tributary for embodying meaning.
