The dissertation aimed to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Highlight the significance of poetic symbolism in its various forms\u2014historical, mythological, religious, and natural\u2014in exposing the false narratives of neo-colonialism, through which colonial powers seek to impose economic dominance and political dependency over countries in the region by creating ideological and sectarian divisions that undermine social cohesion and national unity.\u200e\u200e<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The researcher examined several linguistic techniques employed by the poet Abdullah Al-Baraddouni in resisting neo-colonial narratives, portraying poetic symbolism through prominent linguistic and aesthetic devices such as intertextuality, inversion, irony, and black humor. Through these techniques, Al-Baraddouni critiqued the tragic conditions prevailing both locally and across the Arab world. The dissertation also explored how poetic symbolism functions as a vital instrument of resistance, emphasizing its role in reshaping national identity and strengthening collective public awareness regarding injustice, authoritarianism, and corruption.<\/p>\n

    The study yielded several key findings summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The dissertation constitutes a significant contribution to resistance poetry studies, revealing the patterns and narratives of neo-colonialism while employing poetic symbolism as a means of resisting such narratives.<\/li>\n
    • The findings highlighted the poet\u2019s remarkable prophetic vision, derived from his careful historical reading of developments in Yemen in particular and the broader Arab world in general.<\/li>\n
    • The study concluded that poetic symbolism played an effective role in reflecting the authenticity of Al-Baraddouni\u2019s poetic experience and in conveying a distinguished aesthetic image of Yemeni poetry, elevating it from a local literary tradition to the realm of world literature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In light of these findings, the researcher recommended the following:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Organizing regular academic seminars to discuss the relevance of Al-Baraddouni\u2019s poetry to current realities and to objectively examine the accuracy of his poetic predictions.<\/li>\n
      • Incorporating Al-Baraddouni\u2019s poetry into academic curricula across various disciplines due to its positive role in promoting national awareness regarding neo-colonial narratives.<\/li>\n
      • Translating all of his poetry collections into different foreign languages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The dissertation defense was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and specialists, students, colleagues, and the researcher\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
