Abstract
Yadollah Royaee In his theoretical works, takes a critical view in imagery of traditional poetry. According to him, imagery in classical poetry is static , while in contrast, Spacemantalism is dynamic. This article analyzes critically his points of view and the examples mentioned in his theoretical works. Furthermore, by examining Royaee 's claimed examples of spacemantalism in classical poetry, it becomes evident that these images are common types in classical rhetoric and any ambiguity in the imagery is resolved with its context and literary traditions, they stand apart his contemporary examples.
The claim of this article is that to achieve a precise understanding of Spacemantalism, one must go beyond manifesto and solely engage in analyzing Royaee's poems. Using an inductive and descriptive-analytical approach, the images in the collection of "Labrikhehā" are analyzed in terms of expressing the relationship between reality and the appearances of reality, as well as the concept of distance or espace. The results demonstrate that various types of imagery, including classical structure imagery, imagery through spatialization, cluster imagery, mythological imagery, and symbolic imagery, are employed in his poems. The unspoken aspects of imagery, connotations of words related to imagery, and the expansiveness of imagery on the form contribute to the complexity of Spacemantal imagery. If Spacemantalism is merely understood as lack of neiberhood, then Spacemantal images are plentiful, but if the criterion is the ultimate cause, they are scarce. Spacemantal imagery is relative, implying an indirect relationship or distance between the hierarchical elements of the image.
