중세 아랍․이슬람 사회의 금기와 문학적 파기

Abstract

This research pays attention to taboo as a way to understand people's behaviour and their thought in a specific society. It is especially true in the case of Arab and Islamic society where religion and state is not separable. In Arab society, religious taboo sets the basic rule of social norms. Therefore styding social taboo in the Arab society will lead to explore the essence of Arab society and their culture. This research, as it implies in the subject, deals with two themes. First, the research explores social and religious taboo that prevails in the Arab Middle Age. In order to understand taboo that exists during that time, this research analyses Quran, Hadith, and Sharia,along with histotical and literature materials. Second, this research investigates how well the poets at that time committed their duties breaking taboo for seeking freedom from social and religious suppression. In other words, this research tries to find out how the poets resist social and religious taboo through the poems and how the desire for freedom is discribed. For the purpose of efficiency, the research divides taboo into the following three category: individual,society, and religious. The individual level of taboo deals with sexuality and literature taking a love poem(ghazal) as a case, while the latter categories touch upon wine and literature, a wine poem(khamriyat), and religious doctrine and literature, a poem resistance(muqawama) respectively.
