Resisting the cultural invasion ... Plastic art and the Arabic language as a model

Damascus-Sana

The Arab Cultural Center in Aburmana held a cultural symposium entitled Resistance to Cultural Invasion Plastic Art and the Arabic Language as a model that varied between the two themes of targeting the cultural invasion of plastic art and the Arabic language according to the methodological foundations presented by the participants in the symposium, relying on the combination of originality and contemporary in the documentary approach.

In his axis, poet Dr. Jihad Bkaflouni pointed to the fierce aggression targeting the Arabic language and its foundations and the attempt to normalize the intellectuals of the interior with his ideas and persuade him to refrain from the Arabic language by using attempts to separate and transform countries into regions and different dialects.

Dr. Bkaflouni also explained the danger of using foreign words and terminology in cultural expressions, the decline of the Arabic language, and the need to adhere to its use, because the goals are much greater than we imagine in smashing the Arabic language.

The plastic artist Rabab Ahmed explained the role of plastic art in the development of culture and its connection with the Arabic letter and the aesthetic of this letter through which the calligraphy was formed, preserved and developed by Arab and Muslim calligraphers, citing some artists such as Mahmoud Hajjar, who discovered the aesthetic of Arabic calligraphy, indicating the geometry of the painting system that includes different foundations, including colors. And all kinds of fonts.

Ahmed called for preserving this beautiful legacy that is based on Arabic calligraphy and cited Picasso's saying that no matter how the arts develop, they do not reach the aesthetic of Arabic calligraphy.

In turn, Dr. Iyad Yunus said that the most dangerous thing we face today is the cultural invasion of the Arabic language, and therefore we notice three schools that are working to erase it, including the Zionist Biblical School and the Assyrian League that is working to drop the Amorite Canaanite and Aramaic language, which was the first cradle of the Arabic language, according to the documents found. Ugaritic, Akkadian and Aramaic inscriptions and writings confirm the nobility and continuity of the Arabic language, which is united in the classical language.

The poet Muhammad Khaled Al-Khader, who directed the symposium, called for commitment to the classical language and work to fight anything that tries to undermine it because it is the main component of the Arab personality that resists normalization and aims to cancel the language to replace it with thousands of dialects that can be easily controlled.

In his intervention, poet Allam Abdel-Hadi said that there is a dangerous crawl and many projects to implement the conspiracy against the Arabic language and revive the local dialects, the most important of which is the Zionist movements that serve projects of control in the region and work on writing books in local dialects.

As for the researcher Bakur Al-Aroub, he drew in his intervention the necessity of unifying culture in one centrality, which is the formal language that resists modern American liberalism and cultural invasion in the region.
