Māddīʹgarāyī dar ashʻār-i Nīmāyī: taʼs̱īr-i andīshahʹhā-yi māddīʹgarāyānah bar dīdgāhʹhā va ashʻār-i shāʻirān-i Nīmāyī

Materialism in Nimaic Poems (Mādī garāyī dar ashʻār-i Nīmāyī) offers a comprehensive critical analysis of the ideological shifts within modern Persian poetry during the Pahlavi era, specifically from 1941 to 1979. Dr Muḥammad Javād Ṣādiqī Naqd ʻAlī explores how Western philosophical currents—principally Marxism, Existentialism, and Humanism—permeated the works of the five pillars of the 'New Poetry' (She'r-e No) movement: Nima Yushij, Ahmad Shamlu, Mehdi Akhavan Sales, Forugh Farrokhzad, and Sohrab Sepehri. The text argues that these poets moved away from traditional theocentric worldviews toward a materialistic ontology, reshaping the literary landscape of Iran. By dissecting their imagery, language, and stated beliefs, the author reveals a profound transition in how these literary figures conceptualised God, nature, and the human condition in an age of rapid modernisation and political turbulence.
