The image of Don Giovanni in the poem of Samīh al-Qāsim and Abdulla Pashew, An imagologic and comparative study

The Imagology (Fr. Imagologie) is one of the new important branches of the Comparative literature or Comparative criticism in French school that deals with the image of "I" and "Other" in literary texts. The image of "Other" is like a mirror that on the one hand, I sees in it his/her view, and on the other hand the "Other" can see I's viewpoint of his/her view in it. Don Giovanni is a Spanish legendary character who is famous as a philander or gallant or flirt-man. The same character is European cultures. This character is fond of relations to many women and is continuously in search of new cases and leave the old ones. Samīh al-Qāsim and Abullah Pashew, two great poets of the Resistance literature in Arabic and Kurdish literature, has each one an ode for Don Giovanni in order to use it to enrich their resistance literature through its image reflection and to create more fruitful poetic concepts. This essay in the light of comparative literature and by use of descriptive-analytic approach tries to disclose the Arab and kurd "I" outlook in  imaging "Spanish mythical other" and employing it in their poems. Samih al-Qāsim's imaging of Don Giovanni is tolerant and compromising, but Abullah Pashew's is in the beginning tolerance and then changes to negative and ugly one. I in these two odes are of the real kind (human being) and "other" is of the mythical type.
