Poetic Paradox in Andalusian artistic prose

Abstract

The paradox is a distinct stylistic phenomenon, a very linguistic game of skill and intelligence, it is a coding message, whose poetry is based on a dialectic between its creator (the skilled craftsman) who opens its closed structure to multiple readings or specific connotations, and its reader who tries to reach these meanings by deciphering its structural code. This study seeks to uncover this poetry, trying to reach its effect in Andalusian prose and highlight the aesthetic of the poetic paradox in it by breaching the horizon of waiting and surprising the reader with what he does not expect and is not familiar with, such as if the antagonist meets with his opponent or uses the word in something other than what is set for him. Due to the importance of poetry in literary texts, Andalusian writers have paid attention to studying prose according to poetic styles such as symbol, narration, displacement and musical rhythm.
