The symbol was present in most contemporary theatrical performances,
especially in the actor’s performance, crystallized through the kinetic
image reflected in him, as it is a means of reviving the theatrical
performance and referring it from a static entity to another actor and
interacting with the audience. Accordingly, this research came in four
chapters, the first of which is the methodological framework that
crystallized In it the problem of research in searching for the problems of
the symbol in the performance of the actor, its importance, the goal of the
research and its limits, which were represented in the theatrical
performance marked The Mourning of the Three Nights, which was
presented on the hall of the central theater in the Faculty of Fine Arts in
2005 and then the most important terms (symbolism and performance of
the actor). He came up with two studies, the first symbolic in the theater
and the second the symbolic performance of the actor in the world stage,
to end with the most important indicators reached by the research and
procedures. In the third chapter, the three nights mourning play is analyzed
to end the research with the most important sources and references
specified in Chapter Four

Despite all the transformations that art has undergone through the ages, it
remains one of the most important aspects of human activity, which is
awareness and contemplation of the process of creation and existence against
the ambiguity and might of the universe, a search for the meanings of creation
and an expression of man’s eternal desire for immortality. Religion aims to
awaken the soul and link it to the universe and its creator so that it rises in the
path of human perfection, just as art seeks to promote the human soul and move
all the emotions that simmering in its depths. Religion is a gift from the creator
of beauty and the giver of existence, and art is the vision of the Absolute who
shines through a sensory medium, as the philosopher Haykal says. . (1, p.23)
The current research consists of four chapters. The first chapter of the research
includes an introduction to the research problem, its importance and the need
for it. As for the aim of the research, it has been defined to define the genealogy
of religious discourse and modern art. The researcher analyzed the most
important terms mentioned in the research. The second chapter included two
topics. The first represents the concept of genology - the genealogical
relationship between art, discourse and religion. As for the second topic, it
dealt with - the religious dimension in the modern arts movements. As for the
third chapter, it contained the research procedures and included, the research
community, sample selection and analysis, which amount to (7) models. The
research adopted the descriptive and analytical approach in analyzing the
sample. The fourth chapter came with the results of the research and
conclusions as well as recommendations and suggestions. Among the most
prominent findings of the researcher is
1. The authority of the Christian religious discourse and its narrative themes
dominate in the samples of the research sample. On the basis of the motives
for renewal of the currents of modernity and the experiences of its artists.
1. Religious discourse, throughout long periods of European history, was based
on a metaphysical structure, which caused an intellectual shift to the nature of
social concepts and transformations

When a poet is chosen from the poets of Iraq, the priorities are for what the
poet lived from the issues of his homeland, so his personal suffering mixes
with the suffering of his homeland and the people who live in it, and Al-Sayyab
is one of the poets whose personal psychological and physiological suffering
was very large, and this suffering was reflected in his poetry and in his poems
Which invited him to see and navigate the purposes of poetry and the strong
desire within him to find a distinct style that differs from the old style in writing
the poetic poem, and this choice was not arbitrary, but for his firm conviction
that the old style does not carry in its internal structure to provide a poem in
which the symbol is strong and prominent, a poem that expresses the same
Khaljat, and so his poetic lengths were full of symbol, starting towards building
a poetic image with high potential in Flying in the vast space of the homeland,
the homeland that death quickly disappeared from its sight, so it was the Gulf,

In the lives of peoples, there are many taboos that need a process of breaking
and smashing, especially the group of customs and traditions that restrict
thought and paralyze and stagnate the mind, which represented coffins that
have settled in various human societies and have lived in them for long periods
of time, looking for someone who strips them and removes the artificial robe
of sanctity and leaps on its ruins to paint a reality Better and more beautiful,
and at the same time there are constants that represent the identity of the
community and that cannot be broken and transgressed because the process of
breaking and transgressing them puts society in a state of loss, loss of
originality and lost in the whirlpool of mirage, and this research is an attempt
by the researcher to investigate a group of religious, political and social taboos
found in Our contemporary reality and research in the process of breaking it
through study and analysis, and the process of breaking the taboo was not a
new or artificial process, but rather an old process as old as human thought,
which judged the constants and prohibitions and silenced them in order to sort,
classify and prune them, and in this regard comes the experience of the Iraqi
playwright (Ali Abd al-Nabi al-Zaidi) in his set of theatrical texts that bore the
name (The Divinities) to pour into the waterwheel of renewal through the
caves. Lira in subtraction and breaking monotony, imitation and stereotypes

Social rejection is an influential phenomenon in the language of the theatrical
presentation of its active thesis on the environment and content of the
presentation. It is linked to the study of correction of societies and positive
change aimed at reflecting artistic and practical value in the structure of the
formation of societies within an outreach language capable of finding and
applying rejection socially. The theatre remains a large gateway open in its
texts, performances and techniques that absorb reality and restore the
production and storage of its benefits in the direction of change and
construction, so the problem of research was how social rejection was and how
the language of the show was adhered to and the benefit and objectives of this
exchange "The foundation of the discussion of this problem was to go through
the concepts that are consistent with this subject and the consequent
understanding and passing of the global experiences in text and offer to know
and collect the forces of research and focus to arrive at indicators that help and
contribute to the analysis of the text, its visions, its medications, its meaningful
divides and the manifestations of its idea, To draw our results and what we
need a mechanism of conclusions we derive and learn our analytical concepts,
the researcher singled out three SIs that were a compass indicating to us the
cognitive direction that we should choose to dismantle the text structure in the
presentation we analyze .

This research deals with connotation of motion in Acadian sculpture that
motion is deemed as one the expressive means manifested by the artist through
shapes, spaces and masses whose configurations and positions imply motion.
The motive structure in the structuralism of shapes is one of the important
particularities of artistic formation in general and sculpture in particular.
Moreover, sculptural works have motive -constructive dimension and structure
which attain their vitality and continuation from motionless expressions to in
motion ones which despite their motionless , they have interior auto motions
underlying in the materials from which such sculptures are made of.The
research includes four chapters. First chapter includes the problem,
importance, need objective, limits of the research as well as the important
terms contained herein. The question of the problem is laid in this chapter:
what are the connotations of motion in sculptural works engraved during the
Acadian Era. Moreover, the importance of the research is significantly
presented by the statement that "motion is one the means of expression in the
sculptural work of Acadian Sculpture. The need for such research is
crystallized by the fact that motion is one of the means of expression of the
sculptural work besides the effect made by such motion and influencing
formative elements and their connotations related to the sculptural work in
Acadian Sculpture. Researchers specialized in sculpture art can benefit from
this research because it provides them with wide knowledge and information
required in this artistic field. The objective of this research is to display the
connotation of motion of Acadian sculpture. The research falls into three
limits. First, the time limit which is limited to the period in which the Acadian
Empire was established (2230 B.C – 22370 B.C). Second, the place limit which
represented by the geographical region where the Acadian Empire extended
and dominated the region .Third, the subjective limit which is devoted to a
group of Acadian sculptures' works whose sculptures are characterized by
motion. Some terms contained herein are also introduced. Second chapter
covers the research theoretical framework and includes tow topics. First topic
deals with the concept of motion philosophically and technically. Second topic
deals with the development of motion in sculpture art. Third chapter covers the
research procedures where the research community is determined, the selection
of the sample (5 models of sculptures). The treatments related to the research
tool, its construction and sample analysis are displayed in this chapter.

Chapter four includes the research results, conclusions, recommendations and
proposals. Some of such conclusions suggested by the researcher are:
.1- Acadian statues reflect the state of people's belief, pride and glory towards
the great leader or king through engraving king's personal statues inspired by
scenes of wars with fierce motions having various and repeated motions
inferred from ware scenes.
2- Acadian statues embody the typical manifestation of human body through
the focus on the precise body muscle anatomy along with harmony occurring
between upper and down limps and this true even as to bodies of animals which
represent part of Man's life living during such era that they appear in most
works produced at the said period.

The theater is one of the arts that records documents and events, and it
translates social and political issues in the form of theatrical performance As a
person adds and develops these experiences, creating his knowledge and
scientific experiences in order to advance his present and prepare for the future,
documenting the most detailed details with the professionalism of a skilled
actor. Theatrical art has developed at the level of aspects, as it is reflected at
the artistic levels and artistic elements, where performance is used in direct and
indirect performances, which gives it semantic and pantomime dimensions.
Performance-acting is not without a symbolic connotation that expresses
action through action and is reflected positively in the artistic delivery of the
image.There is a need to develop a systematic scientific study to learn about
the features of military correspondents' representational performance, and then
the importance of research. The goal of the research is: to develop the
representational performance of war correspondents and to master the
representational performance by developing their performance skills (voice
and movement). The second chapter, The theoretical framework, came up with
two studies. Intentional and unintentional data in representational
performance, as for the second research was entitled Technical elements in the
performance of the war correspondent, and the two researchers addressed in
the third chapter the procedures related to enumerating the research community
and choosing the research sample, while the fourth chapter dealt with
discussion of results and then conclusions, recommendations and proposals.
One of the most prominent results is that the war correspondent has a conscious
representational performance that enabled him to communicate his
informational material accurately and easily, and he also dispensed with the
director and performed this role by giving observations to the photographer.

Without equivocation, art has an essential function at the core of social life,
and that art is a social phenomenon that is subject to social conditions and the
circumstances of time and place. The audience plays a guiding role in relation
to art, and thus society and its phenomena acquire great importance in the
artistic process and the development of its aesthetic realities. The bourgeoisie
is considered one of the social classes that appeared in Europe from the Middle
Ages until the eighteenth century, and its appearance was represented in art in
a distinct way, including the plastic arts, specifically the art of painting, up to
the stage of modernity, to show us the following question, which is how the
bourgeoisie was represented in the art of modern European painting ? Thus,
the first chapter of the research included the methodological framework for the
research represented by the problem of the research and its importance to
constitute the importance of shedding light on a pattern of European painting
arts. It is unique and unprecedented. As for the goal of the research, it
specialized in identifying the representations of the bourgeoisie in modern
European painting, and it was determined by a period of time between the years
1867-1964 And with objective boundaries that included artistic works that
included a bourgeois approach, the research in this chapter also tackled
defining the most important terms contained in the research and explaining
their implications. As for the second chapter, it included two sections: the first
topic: a reading of the concept of the bourgeoisie, while the second topic
included: the subject of the bourgeoisie in the history of art, and then the
indicators that resulted from the theoretical framework. As for the third
chapter: it included the research procedures represented by the research tool
and choosing the analytical descriptive approach in analyzing seven 7 models
of the research sample, while the fourth chapter included the research results
that the researcher reached from the analysis of the sample models, as well as
the conclusions related to those results, then the research proposals And
followed by a list of sources that the researcher benefited from in writing his
research.

The conceptual transformation is effective conditions in the process of
changing the readability of contemporary discourse because it is linked to
vibrational contexts that exceeded the authority of the previous intellectual
project according to deconstructive frequencies that made the ceramic building
a distortion model that brings out open readings confirming the legitimacy of
epistemological separation by explicitly invoking the exceptional data
produced by the new capitalist industrial revolution that made the responsible
It gives conflicting interpretational references that broke the horizon of
expectations due to the philosophical contradictions destructing the torrent of
central orientation. )) And the importance of the research and the need for the
mechanism and the goal of the research and the identification of the most
important terms contained in the research. The second chapter also included
the theoretical framework of two topics that were identified according to the
requirements of the research that coincided with the goal and limits of the
research, where the first topic represented a reading in the concept of
transformations of the artistic form, while the second topic included
Mechanism of conceptual transformation in contemporary ceramics, and the
third chapter included a presentation of the research procedures and the
selection of the research sample in an intentional way based on the descriptive
approach in a way that refers to the content of the sample.
