Alienation in The Literature of Letters - Al-Sayyab’s Letters As An Example

Abstract

Alienation is a phenomenon that has taken countless forms, disclosures, and manifestations in Al-Sayyab’s letters. More than one person who was concerned with defining alienation tried to define it and found that it is relevant in the individual’s self-isolation of all kinds from the environment, other existence, and lack of harmony. Alienation represents a crisis facing the human being, as it is an
inevitable result that undermines his freedom. Therefore, I tried to study Al-Sayyab’s letters and search for the phenomenon of alienation in them. The title was (Al-Sayyab in the literature of letters, Al-Sayyab’s letters as a model), based on some sources, including the complete poetic works of Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab, the psychological analysis of correspondence literature, and literary letters. The research consisted of four sections. The first section was titled: Psychological Alienation, the second section was titled: Cognitive Alienation, the third section was titled: Spatial Alienation, and the fourth section was: Social Alienation. The research concluded with the most important results we reached within the framework of research and analysis of the messages.
