Existential Paradigms in the Poetry Collection of “Mansyat Alalha” By the Poet Qasim Haddad

This research examines the epistemological relationship between the construction of poetic texts, as the essence of intellectual and emotional experience, and existentialism as a philosophical approach. Many studies view existentialism as a free paradigm constructed according to human freedom and individual choices, independent of logical observations and the foundations of epistemology. From this intersection, the research presents the concept of existentialism in epistemological paradigms linked to the poet's poetics through a collective subjective experience. The poetry collection “Mansyat Alalha” "Forgotten by the Gods" by Qassim Haddad was selected for this study, as it embodies a profound intellectual sensibility concerning the relationship between humans and death, and reflects the coherence of the paradigms embedded in its poetic construction. These paradigms are diverse epistemological discourses that enhance the humanistic value of the poetic text. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology to analyze the texts in light of discourse paradigm studies. These paradigms are understood as a set of elements that organize to form a unified idea, which, in this research, are poetic and structural elements elaborated upon within the main body of the study. The researcher identified five paradigms that structure the poetic text: The Paradigm of Self-Concern: This paradigm is reflected through techniques such as practicing death, aging as a desirable value, reviewing daily memoirs, and techniques of attentive listening. Second: The Paradigm of Detachment and Illusion. Third: The Paradigm of Determinism. Fourth: The Paradigm of Seduction within the Philosophy of Discourse: This paradigm is discussed in terms of two perspectives—polemical and dramatized. Fifth: The Metaphorical Paradigm: Focused on various metaphors of death. Keywords: Existentialism, Poetic paradigms, Qasim Haddad.
