| Abstract | ||
| This study aims at studying the book of poetry entitled "My Overflowing Emotions" for the Kirkuki Poet Mohammed Sadik from a psychanalytic perspective. This study deals with the emotional realm of the poet within the context of individual consciousness, collective memory, and constructing identity. The study does not only look at the intensive emotions in poems as an aesthetic option, but also evaluated as a expression of internal conflicts, feeling of nostalgia, and the pursuit of belonging. In this context, the work is looked upon as a text that shows interaction between the inner world of the individual and his/her historical and cultural environment. The most prominent psychological element that attracts attention in this work is the sense of vulnerability that is formed alongside a powerful sense of belonging and awareness of the roots. For the poet, intensive emotions can be interpreted as a symbolic expression of repressed anxiety and nostalgia that is directed to the past. This is clear when one can attribute the concentration on the place and memory to images that represent, on the level of unconsciousness, a search for safety. From this perspective, his poems are considered a reflection of inner psychological conflicts for the efforts the individual spends to keep and save his own identity. When studying the emotional transformations in his work, there appears a psychological state that swings between sorrow and enthusiasm. It can be interpreted by the concept of emotional duality in psychology. The wavering discourse of the poet between hope and pessimism reflects an attempt to balance the inner conflicts. The emotional overflow is not evaluated as happiness but also as an intensive desire for life and a form of existential resistance. By this meaning, the poems have marks that refer to psychological resistance that is formed after traumatic experiences. | ||
