The Narrative of Fracture in Al-Tughra'i's Poetry: A Psycho-Social Reading of the Voice of the Marginalized Intellectual

This topic addresses the narrative of fracture in al-Tughra’i’s poetry as a profound expression of the suffering of the marginalized intellectual within his society. In his poems, al-Tughra’i’s voice appears burdened with frustration as a result of social and political marginalization, along with a deep sense of alienation despite his scholarly and literary status. Notably, his poetry reveals intense psychological emotions such as sadness, anxiety, and disappointment, especially after experiencing injustice and exclusion. This narrative is also manifested through the evocation of painful personal experiences, which are transformed into a poetic discourse that exposes the self’s struggle with reality and its attempt to assert its value in an environment that fails to do it justice. From a social perspective, his poetry reflects the image of an intellectual who clashes with the structures of society and authority, leading to feelings of helplessness and fracture. This, in turn, drives him to express his pain through a language charged with emotion and contemplation. Thus, al-Tughra’i’s poetry represents a clear model of the narrative of fracture, where the psychological and social dimensions intertwine to reveal a profound human experience of the marginalized intellectual, as demonstrated in this study.
