The Semiotics of Sufi Tastes in Contemporary Algerian Poetry

Résumé

This research paper deals with
how the contemporary Algerian Sufi
poetry discourse employs the
supreme Sufi tastes, which are
termed by Sufism as the incoming
and the tastes. They are tastes
expressed by poets in a language
that tends to be the language of
surprise, confusion and turmoil, to
formulate for us a specific writing
experience. We will try to
investigate the indications of these
tastes in mature contemporary
Algerian poetic experiences, which
their Sufi vision was inspired either
by reading practices or from its
spiritual experiences that are deeply
involved in abstraction and
ambiguity according to the semiotic
vision that adopts interpretation as a
primary basis for the introspection
of the Sufi symbolic connotations.
