This paper addresses the theme of the body in the poetry of Al-Mutanabbi from a semiotic perspective, as the body is represented in Al-Mutanabbi’s poetry through a grand dialecticism: the body of the man and the body of the woman. He expressed the woman’s body for the sake of ghazal, and expressed the man’s body not only by the ghazal itself and its impact on man, but also by praise and satire. His meanings and images were a reflection of the predecessors’ which relied on rhetoric and imagination in shaping the images of the body. His description of the body is inspired by natural images, especially the animalistic nature, universal nature and plant nature which are heavily relied on cultural structures of reference and attitude that ascribe to each member of the body its position in terms of power, weakness, beauty, ugliness and their abilities and their effects in practice.
