The Transformative Role of Poetry Education in Constructing Modern Arabic Identity: A Systematic Literature Review

Summary/Abstract: Background/purpose. In its explorations of the transformative generative role of Arabic poetry in the constitution of modern Arab identity, the present study maps the historical trajectory, cultural roles, and modern developments in its history. Based on the pre-Islamic conventions, Arabic poetry was always a form of cultural expression, ethical probe, and critique. Materials/methods. A qualitative systematic review was conducted on peer-reviewed articles (2000–2024) listed in Scopus and the ISI Web of Science. Thematic analysis was used to identify key tendencies related to identity, gender, migration, digital transformation, and learning activity in Arabic poetry. Results. Data show that contemporary Arabic poetry blends ancient motifs with modern concerns such as displacement, women's empowerment, and social justice. Social media and machine learning have increased poetry's acceptability and influence, notably in marginalized and diasporic communities. Conclusion. Arabic poetry continues as a dynamic and responsive form for expressing cultural identity and shared consciousness. Through the combination of heritage and technology, it sustains the expression of creativity, inclusivity, and cross-cultural dialogue in the 21st-century world. The research points to the importance of interdisciplinary and online methodologies in maintaining the currency of Arabic poetry within the discourse of world cultures.
