Between the Voice of the Earth and the Winds of the World: Language and Identity in Modern Egyptian Poetry in the Age of Globalization

Abstract

This study examines the dialectic of language and identity in modern Egyptian poetry in the age of globalization, focusing on the intricate relationship between poetic language, place, memory, heritage, and global transformations. It proceeds from the premise that globalization is not necessarily a force that uproots identity; rather, it may become a space in which identity is rediscovered, reinterpreted, and creatively reshaped. The study demonstrates how the Nile, the land, the city, heritage, and religious and popular symbols transcend their local references to embody universal human questions. It further argues that genuine universality does not emerge through the erasure of cultural particularity, but through transforming that particularity into a language of dialogue with the Other. The study ultimately concludes that modern Egyptian poetry can unite the depth of roots with the breadth of horizons, and that the voice of the land becomes universal when it speaks authentically for the human being.
