2 - Reviewing Protest Current in Poetry and Cinema of Holy Defense Case Studies of “Alireza Qazve” and “Ibrahim Hatami-Kia”

Therefore every kind of change and transmutation in these values caused reactions of these artists and gradually made a movement named “Protest”; meanwhile, Holy Defense poetry and cinema has made “Protest” its main content. This convergence is shown in two kinds of social and political Protests in this interdisciplinary article. To review the Protest element in Holy Defense art, not only we named different famous faces in its poetry and cinema, but also we focused on works of one of the most famous Holy Defense cinema artists named “Ibrahim Hatami-Kia” and poets named “Alireza Qazve”.

In the first poesy of Qesar Aminpour (poems of two books named Morning Breath and Sudden Mirrors) which are composed during war years, death and its different manifests are the most brilliant concepts in his poetry. He did not mention to natural death in this period and views war-caused deaths from two viewpoints: 1- people viewpoint: death is a disastrous event for innocent children and women and it has an abominable face which shows the brutality of enemy and the obscenity of war; 2- combatants’ viewpoint: death, i.e. martyrdom, has a sublime value and poet always tries to produce a beautiful manifest of death. After clarifying these mentioned viewpoints, we tried, in two sections of Martyrdom and Martyr, to introduce artistic methods of Qeysar Aminpour in dealing with Concept of Death from second viewpoint (Martyrdom) through Metaphor, Simile and Symbol- with mentioning to artistic beauties of his poetry- and finally we decoded some other of his poets based on these data and knowing his literary method and thinking system.

Among these functions, it has shapes of birds, human, gods, and angels and so on in early periods; and it has different forms, features, and functions due to presence of myth; while in contemporary world, Simorgh is no longer a strange and mysterious being, and it is a multi-patterned bird in literature and other forms of art. This shows that Simorgh has got to objectivity from abstraction in the historical transition to contemporary art and literature; and it has declined from its original fine status in contemporary poetry instead of improving or at least stopping in being applied in previous sublime uses.

5 - The Conceptual Development of "Night" in Persian Poetry; From Mystical Symbol to Political Metaphor (As a Symbol of Indigenous)

Development in word role is one of the linguistic changes whose root shall be sought in social construct. “Night” is one of the concepts whose fundamental semantic change in literature can be regarded as signs of great social changes in Iran. Authors attempt to seek these changes by using synchrony and diachrony analysis method. We can categorize four periods of change in word “Shab” (i.e. Night), so that Night represents nature and a epical sign in classical poems. However, with a fundamental change in social context particularly in Middle Iran, Night has become a symbolic concept of Mysticism; in historical path of Iranian nation and its changing context during Constitution and emergence of Modernism, it got an indexical status and got the meaning of mishap and fate; finally, in fourth period, it is regarded as a metaphor of political authority, so it become a figural symbol along with spreading political Tyranny in the new period.
