Abstract :
Political satire is one of the types of critical literature expressed as a practical weapon for intellectuals of the society with the aim of reform and transformation. This is while political satire rejects any kind of violence and coercion. In other words, political satire is the ability to show some shortcomings that are appropriate to politics, which are expressed funnily, Although this method has long been seen in many literary works, Writers, and poets of good taste appeared in the context of the developments of this period and the present era. They became the eloquent language of their countrymen, among which we can mention Roya Sadr. Sadr is a renowned researcher and writer in the field of humor and has presented his impressive works, among which are "Khabarnameh Mahramaneh", "H, Mesle Tafahom", "Bardasht Akhar" "Shab haye Kush-Adasi" and the satirical blog of Roya Sadr's "Bibi Gol" which are full of political satire. In this research, which has been collected in the way of documents, after defining humor and its infrastructures, the methods of this art are explained in the mentioned works. The findings showed that Sadr's mastery and skill in literature, along with her smooth and creative taste, caused him to use most of the literary techniques such as contrast, assurance, humorous similes, contradictory combinations, exaggeration, allegory, exaggeration, etc to use and this point has created variety and consequently many effects in his works.
