Abstract
This study traces existential shifts in Palestinian poetry through van Dijk’s model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a qualitative framework. Drawing on Edward Said’s concept of narrative sovereignty and the fundamental right for self-expression against colonial oppression, it examines Mahmoud Darwish’s “Identity Card” and Noor Hindi’s “Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My people are Dying” and “A Question”. The paper combines van Dijk’s CDA with Edward Said’s theory, Achille Mbmebe’s concept of Necropolitics, Rosi Braidotti’s Posthumanism, and Giorgio Agamben’s notions of homo sacer and erasure to link poetic language with systems of power and violence. The findings show that Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry focuses on humanism, as “Identity Card” convinces people to struggle for their own rights, while Noor Hindi’s poems challenge the Nakba (the catastrophe of 1948) not a historical event but as an ongoing violence and control over Palestinian people. Both the poets break away the humanist ideas which supports traditional demands of political sovereignty. Future research may further explore posthumanist and Necropolitical dimensions in Palestinian poetry.
