The Gate of Poetry is Open to Any Subject: Linguistic Contemplations in a Ghazal of Vali Dakkani

Guest lecture in Indiology In one of his ghazals, Valī Dakkanī (?1667-?1707), known as the Father of Urdu Poetry, presents the Poetic Word as the Beloved. The content connotes ideas about the relation between the meaning and the form of linguistic expression. It will be argued that these ideas are interpretable in the Saussurean terms of ‘signifier’ and ‘signified’. The interpretation will be the main topic of the talk. Language: English
