Poetics manifestations in psychological theory
Abstract
Many scholars believe that the psychological theory does not contribute to the interpretation of the poetics of the literary text, because the poetics is present in the structure of the literary text, rejecting the idea of changing the aesthetic function and isolating it from the language, in contrast to those who believe that the psychological theory can reveal the most important characteristics of the literary language. This is implied in the relationship of the text with the psychological life of its writer, or with what the recipient projects on the text, this research deals with the manifestation of poetics in literary texts from the perspective of the most prominent and important psychological critics. It means that the poetics in which the meaning represents its most prominent characteristics depends on revealing these subtleties through the psychological analysis of the personality of the creator, and some of them argued that the meaning lies in the modification, distortion, and liberation of the signifier from the constraint of the signified, while Harold Bloom proclaims that the anxiety complex of vulnerability is the guarantee of divergent paths for the text of the subsequent creator from the texts of his predecessors. This is to free himself from the complex of influence, which is what he called stray reading, and through these paths poetics is achieved.
