Semiotics of Passions, Fear, Supplication, Taifa PeriodAbstract
This study aims to explore the passions and emotions embedded in Andalusian supplicatory poetry during the Taifa period, analyzing selected examples through the semiotics of passions. The research examines the linguistic forms employed by the poetic self and identifies procedural representations to determine the internal semiotic signs of the human psyche. The poetic discourse of this era is rich in emotional centers that govern meaning-making, with fear and anxiety being among the most prominent emotions, due to the political, social, and intellectual fluctuations of the Taifa period. Such passions were central to the supplicatory process, as the poet revealed his anxious state, which could threaten his life if he failed to appeal to authority, lose his beloved, or exacerbate parental anger. The addressed authority in this type of poetry is typically one of three entities: the ruler, the beloved, or the parent.
