Each language is formed in a specific cultural context. This enables the literary works to point out the cultural discourse, and especially the ideology of a society. Thereby the effect of cultural transformations of various generations and even different literary genres can be studied. The study lies in the field of stylistics and it is from the category of discourse analysis. The story of the Amir Arsalan is one of the most popular folk-romantic novels of Persian language. Like any other literary text, the story is not devoid of ideological views, and it well describes the language discourse, power and ideology of a certain era. Through exploration of the ideological layers and their social and historical backgrounds, this study suggests how this seemingly romantic story reflects cultural and ideological clues. The result of the research shows that the story of Amir Arsalan, despite the structure of romance, has been drafted with a religious-national ideological approach to explain the supremacy of Islam (Shi'i) to disbelief .The story has changed from a historical genre to romance-fiction genre over the course of time. It is this structure and reliance on the collective memory of the people, that enables the story to have a high impact on the society Manuscript profile

Human beings, regardless of their epistemic perspectives, consider themselves distinct from other elements of existence while having mutual interactions with different biological and sociological phenomena. Two of the most important topics in sociological sciences is the study of the existential capacity of humans and the study of their social interactions with the family, the homeland, and the world. These two subjects are often referred to as, respectively, individual self and social self. The study of Forough Farrokhzad's poetry can reveal various personal and social manifestations of her as an Iranian woman. This is because her poetry is mainly arisen from the subconscious and is associated with social realism and symbolism. The present study shows that an individual self has always been present—albeit with a declining course—in all periods of Forough's life and poetry. Moreover, the study clarifies how individual self and social self confront with each other and how a perfectionist and reformist social self eventually dominates. In connection to this issue, it will be shown that the expression of dissatisfaction with what is happening in human society is one of the prominent features of Forough's poetry. Manuscript profile
