This study focuses on textual referentiality as a basis for analytical study, addressing signification, as well as revealing textual patterns and systems. The study deals with various textual and a-textual references - the inside and outside the text: textual references refer to the reciprocal referentiality between the text and its title, and its role in the construction of profound literary signification.
The real experience forms another referentiality which is studied among others, such as the disparity between reality and art, the role of realistic experience in artistic practice, the power of artistic practice on realistic experience; these aspects may be comprehended through the study of the original draft. The poet’s shifting between different forms, is also revealed through the study of the draft to find out the relation between the first text (the draft) and the final (the work in its final form).
This study is applied to ``Pacing the Heights’’ a poem by Saad Abdel-Aziz Maslouh, who is an academic and poet. It is an analytical study of its structures, tracing the dominant referentialities, seeking intertextualities with other texts and other similar poetical practices, in order to capture textual signification through what we would term ``textual rapprochement’’. Textual access to other texts renders them complementary, as one text may convey what the other shades, constructing a medium for dialogue and interchange.
Accordingly, referentiality forms the sum total of texts and conditions which the literary text has countered, encountered, communicated with and has been influenced by. Referentiality also comprises of the cultural milieu and the artistic environment the text addresses.
It may also turn into a critical referentiality, by viewing the text in the light of other texts which may help convey its system of significations, and may equally contribute to its reading and interpretation
