The Construction of Imagery as a Representation of the Fall of Andalusia in the Poem Li-Kulli Shayʾin by Ar-Rundi: A Stylistic Study

Ika Selviana, Fikri Muhammad Hanif

Abstract


This research aims to explore the diversity of imagery representing the fall of Andalusia in Ar-Rundi's poem "Li-Kulli Shayʾin" through a stylistic approach. Without the use of types of imagery, a poem may lack vividness, leaving the reader unengaged on a sensory level. The study is motivated by the need to understand that poetry serves not merely as an aesthetic expression but also as a repository of memory regarding social dynamics and the history of civilization—specifically concerning the fall of Andalusia as a symbol of Islamic civilization. A descriptive-qualitative method was employed, focusing on the analysis of imagery elements based on Burhan Nurgiyantoro's and Syihabuddin Qalyubi classification. Research findings indicate that imagery not only embellishes the poem Li-Kulli Shayʾin but also helps deepen the reader's emotional engagement in understanding the tragedy behind the collapse of Andalusian civilization.
