Intertextuality in Salah Abdolsaboor,s poetry

Arab contemporary literature includes a set of new and modern concepts for which some have originated in the west. One of these concepts is intertextuality which in Arabic means Tanas. Intertextuality is a cultural-social approach that has penetrated in all areas, especially in literature and has made wonderful changes in it, and contemporary poets have exploited it, too. The present paper deals with intertextuality in Salah Abdolsaboor^’s poem, the modern Egyptian poet, through analyzing meanings and relying on his distiches, and describes its aspects in three axises of Cultural Seer, Dialogism, and Semiology. In the present paper, firstly the effect of local cultural resources such as Quran and Abo-al-Ala Al- Moary respectively in enhancing the hope and rationality and then the effect of foreign cultural resources such as T.S.Eliot in enhancing the realistic perspective of Abdolsaboor are discussed. Finally we aim at explaining the social perspective of Abdolsaboor in discussing and reforming the social problems.
