Manifestations of fragmentation and its aesthetics in the collection of “Almost Vocabulary” by Abdullah Al-Washamii

Abstract

The mechanisms of fragmentation are evident in the poet’s vision and the textual structure of his poems, and its aesthetics are rooted in the eloquence of separation and the poetics of diaspora and fragmentation. His artistic and stylistic energies stimulate mental engagement and activate interpretation, which aims to unify the scattered and mend the fragmented. The research approached fragmentation in the platforms and texts of the collection (Mufradadat Ushakat) by the Saudi poet Abdullah Al-Washmi. The study relied on a descriptive methodology based on analysis and statistical data. The research was presented with a preface and appended with a conclusion, including six sections that dealt with: fragmentation of places - fragmentation in the situation, the machine, and the fate - fragmentation in memory and dreams - fragmentation with doubt and question - fragmentation in the image - fragmentation through interspersion.
