Conceptual defamiliarization in Ibn Farez's mystical combinations

One of the most important concepts in Russian formalist theory is defamiliarization, which aims to examine the aspects of language that lead to literary creation. All the techniques that the poet uses to alienate the world around him in the eyes of the audience are in the scope of defamiliarization. Ibn Farez, the famous poet of the valley of divine love in the history of Sufi poetry, is one of the most famous poets in the Arab world because his poems have all the technical features of Sufi poetry: a poem full of Qur'anic insights and philosophical opinions and it has new views on existence and human. Ibn Farez's Sufi language, with all its ups and downs at the linguistic level, attracts the reader's attention by creating new combinations at the concept level, removing the dust of habit from the ordinary Sufi concepts, and acquaints him with new combinations that benefit from the defamiliarization technique. By combining two terms, each with a different meaning, he creates new combinations that have new meanings or concepts that are outside of what is common in Sufi custom. In this article, we have tried to examine Ibn Farez's mystical recombinations by relying on the views of formalists in the field of defamiliarization and aberration. The findings of this study show that Ibn Farez by creating such new combinations, intended to create new concepts that emerged from his mystical states.
