The interactionism of water in pre-Islamic poetry

L'interactionnisme de l'eau dans la poésie préislamique

Abstract

  Water is the crucible of life and the main factor influencing the lives of ancient poets, their families and tribes. It often determines the social status of the tribe - whether it lives in fertile land filled with water or in a barren, arid land - as it represents the continuity of life and the source of comfort in it, which made man invent various religious rituals in order to obtain this important vital resource, in addition to what water gives to man and his tribe of a decent life in which there is economic power, influence and authority. The matter did not stop here; rather, the influence of water extended to social and psychological aspects of the lives of poets at that time. Accordingly, the research was divided into several axes, starting with tracing the interactionism of water in human literary heritage, and knowing the meaning of interactionism, and then moving on to knowing the extent of the interactionism of water religiously, psychologically, socially and economically.
