The Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation organised a lecture titled \u201cContemporary Poetry in the Arabian Gulf\u201d on Sunday evening, November 8, as part of its participation in the Sharjah International Book Fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The lecture was delivered by Dr Mubarak Issa Al Jabri and attended by H.E. Abdul Hamid Ahmad, Secretary-General of the Foundation, alongside a distinguished gathering of intellectuals, poets and literary critics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Dr Al Jabri holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in education, specialising in Arabic Language, from Sultan Qaboos University (2006), and a master’s degree in Literary Criticism from the University of Nizwa (2011), for his thesis titled \u201cThe Prose Poem in Oman: Discourse and Context\u201d. He also earned a PhD in Arabic Language and Literature from Sultan Qaboos University in 2018 for his dissertation titled \u201cThe Prose Poem in the Arabian Gulf: A Study in the Sociology of the Text\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

He authored \u201cThe Discourse of the Omani Prose Poem in the Context of Arabic Literature\u201d (2013) and \u201cBeyond the Walls: Papers in Cultural Studies\u201d (2022). He has also participated in peer-reviewed academic conferences in Jordan, Turkey and Oman, presenting research on prose poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Al Jabri began his lecture by setting aside the debate over the concept of contemporaneity, explaining that he would focus on the period beginning in the late 1960s, which he considered a pivotal turning point in literary modernisation. He attributed this shift to two major developments: the changes in Arab consciousness following the 1967 defeat, and the profound transformations that swept the Gulf region following Britain’s withdrawal and the emergence of oil, alongside Egypt’s considerable influence during that period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Drawing on the title of Mohammed Al Rumaihi\u2019s book, \u201cThe Gulf Is Not Oil\u201d, Al Jabri stressed that linking contemporaneity to oil did not mean that the discovery of oil marked its beginning. The Gulf, he explained, had a rich cultural heritage long before the emergence of oil. What mattered about the oil era, in this context, was the establishment of the modern borders of the Gulf states, the spread of modernisation and easier access to healthcare and education.<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that modernity in this context should not be understood in the same sense as Western modernity, which emerged in cities and capitals that became magnets for migration, as noted by Raymond Williams. GCC\u2019s poet, by contrast, remained deeply rooted in their own environment and society, with a profound sense of history, as reflected in the works of Saif Al Rahbi, Qassim Haddad and Sama Issa. Modernity, he argued, is essentially a drive towards renewal, transcending established boundaries and breaking free from prevailing ways of thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

He cited poetic texts that challenge established certainties, including works by Jassim Al Sahih, Hilal Al Hajri and Mohammed Al Thubaiti\u2019s \u201cCautious Marginal Notes on Al Khalil\u2019s Papers\u201d (Hawamish Hadharah ‘ala Awraq Al-Khalil). He stressed that modernity is a set of values that permeate the text, and that rebellion is not exclusive to prose poetry. A literary work, he argued, cannot be considered modernist unless it questions and challenges entrenched assumptions, both in society and in language.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Al Jabri explained that the prose poem represented the clearest expression of contemporaneity, tracing its development through landmark works such as Qassim Haddad\u2019s \u201cLove\u2019s Heart\u201d (1980), Saif Al Rahbi\u2019s \u201cThe Seagull of Madness\u201d, Dhabiya Khamis\u2019s \u201cA Step Above the Earth\u201d (1981), Iman Asiri\u2019s \u201cHere I Am, the Skylark\u201d (1982), Zahir Al Ghafri\u2019s \u201cWhite Hooves\u201d (1983) and Sama Issa\u2019s \u201cWater for the Body of Myth\u201d (1985).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The lecture also featured contributions from the audience, exploring the concept of modernity and how it should be understood, as well as the prose poem. These discussions enriched the session and added depth to the debate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
