De quelques aspects de la poésie des Ṣa’ālīk (poètes-brigands) à l’époque antéislamique ‘Urwa b. al-Ward, al-Šanfarā, Ta’abbaṭa Šarran

The author examines the figure of ṣu‘lūk as expressed in the history of pre-Islamic literature and in the poetic discourse of those poets-thieves. Excluded from the tribal system, they create their own code of honor and compose poetry diverging from literary canons.
