Representation of Arghavan's poetic discourse in the poem of Sayeh

(based on Fairclough's approach)

Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is one of the theories in the field of literary criticism, which has attracted the attention of many researchers of Persian language and literature today. This theory, by examines the empirical studies between the social and cultural developments of various fields of society and the discourses in it, while expressing the relationship between the internal and external criteria of the text, the dominant power of the society in which the literary work was formed. Fairclaf is one of the theorists in the field of critical discourse who considers three levels for his theory. At the first level, based on Holidey's role-oriented order, he examines the structure of the text; In the second level, which is called interpretation, it examines the situational and intersexual context used in the text, and in the third level, explanation examines the formation factors, ideology and effects of the discourse; From my point of view, Hoshang Ebtahaj is one of the prominent poets in contemporary Persian literature, who depicts the political, social and cultural situation in his poetry, and the analysis of his works based on the critical approach and discourse analysis provides us with significant achievements. In the present research, we aimed to examine the political and social discourses in Arghvan's poetry and find out what the discourses in Arghvan's poetry are and to what extent the components in this poem are traceable? In order to achieve the goal, we have prepared the data in an analytical-descriptive manner using Fairclaf's approach. Our findings in the research show: Ebtahaj, with a poetic narrative, expressed issues such as inequality, injustice, cultural and political situation in Arghvan's poetry, and by strengthening the spirit of independence, freedom and the desire to resist has hope for the survival and discourse of change in the society and humanity.
