Jāmiʻahʹshināsī-i shiʻr-i imrūz: barʹrasī-i dīyāliktīkī-i ashʻār-i Shāmlū, Furūgh va Akhavān S̲ālis̲

This resource, authored by Mahdī Gawhariyān and Hudá Farāzmand, offers a sociological critique of modern Persian poetry, focusing on the works of Aḥmad Shāmlū, Furūgh Farrukhzād, and Mahdī Akhavān S̲ālis̲. Titled Jāmiʻahʹshināsī-i shiʻr-i imrūz (Sociology of Today's Poetry), the book applies a dialectical method to understand the reciprocal relationship between the poet's consciousness and the objective conditions of society in Īrān between 1956 and 1976. The text investigates how the prevailing atmosphere of censorship, rapid modernization, and political stifling during the Pahlavi era shaped the artistic output of these three key literary figures. It discusses themes of humanism, resistance, and the reflection of social structures within poetic form, positioning the poems as historical documents of identity and defiance.
