Abstract

A big emphasis that should not be overlooked remains the dialectical interconnectedness between the (ego) and the (other). And just as each image of the (other) represents, in a certain aspect, a self-image, our self-image is not created in isolation from the image we have of the (other). Any text's basis is the connection between (the ego) and (the other). Since it is a complex interaction, it cannot be formulated statically, which is what we see in Ibn  Al Giab’s poetry. His depictions of the (ego) differed, demonstrating what motivated the same poet to engage with the (other) and what he learned in the (other) by self-reflection.
