Abstract

This article addresses poetic form as a foundation bridging the literary contexts of Arabic and Persian that exists beyond the bounds of Euro-American influence. We find the originally Arabic science of ʿarūḍ, prosody, used in these two contexts to retool premodern poetic form for the modern era. Questions of form encourage us to think about how modernist poets writing in Persian and Arabic approach their poetry as a craft that emerges not out of engagements with Western literature but rather from a shared poetic past. By tracing formal links across Arabic and Persian, this article argues that paying attention to the premodern tradition of prosodic science they share helps us both to understand the early development of modernist poetry in each language and to avoid explanations informed mostly by literary critical frameworks used to study Western literatures.

晚期波斯比较研究的正式基础
这篇文章解决诗歌形式作为桥梁的基础阿拉伯语和波斯语的文学背景,存在超出欧美的影响范围。我们发现,最初的阿拉伯科学——韵律学arūḍ,在这两种语境中被用来为现代重新调整前现代诗歌形式。形式的问题鼓励我们思考现代主义诗人如何用波斯语和阿拉伯语写作他们的诗歌作为一门手艺,而不是与西方文学的接触,而是来自共同的诗歌历史。通过追溯阿拉伯语和波斯语之间的正式联系,本文认为,关注它们共享的韵律科学的前现代传统,有助于我们理解每种语言中现代主义诗歌的早期发展,并避免主要由用于研究西方文学的文学批评框架所提供的解释。
