| Summary: | Iftikar Jalib draws on Wittgenstein for the theoretical framework of<br />modern poetry. And language remains the main site of contestation. The primary objective in Jalib is to create linguistic structures which suit the demands of modern poetry. Human alienation, disenchantment with modern human conditions and the oppression of a consumerist culture are the major thematic concerns in his poetry. And he argues that the traditional linguistic structures are incapacitated to accommodate the complexity of contemporary human experiences. New forms of linguistic structures need to emerge to produce, in the words of T.S.Eliot, the objective correlative for human sufferings. Jalib tends to create the objective correlative in the forms mediated through his peculiar complex linguistic structures. |
