Liberalism, often referred to as the ideology of modern times, is one of the concepts that has influenced the social and political developments in Iran since the constitutional era, and we are witnessing its widespread emergence in literature. Discourse analysis is also a type of interdisciplinary study that analyzes words and leads to in-depth reading of literary works. Based on the theory of analysis of the discourse of Laclau and Mouffe, this research tries to show the details of liberal concepts in order to identify them in the contemporary period based on the poem "Ali told his mother one day" by Forough Farrokhzad. According to this theory, the main goal of the liberal discourse is to compete with the prevailing discourse to establish freedom and independence as the central signifier of this discourse, and also seeks to identify itself by articulating the floating implications of tradition-breaking and the struggle for freedom. This discourse finds its political subject by mythologizing the militant human being, who is the same fish and Ali who is the child within Forough Farrokhzad, and challenges the hegemony of the ruling discourse in order to establish its order in the ruling society. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and the research data has been studied using content analysis method and library and document research method.

There are different reasons and arguments about the burying alive of girls. And these differences among the arguments of interpreters and historians make the reader to ponder about them. Furthermore, these differences show that the burying alive of girls can have other reasons from what has been stated or these reasons are included in those stated. However, by studying the roots of this tradition among Ignorant Arabs (Jahili Arabs) and analyzing it through semiology, the reasons of this tradition has been revealed, and the obstacles to the understanding of it has been removed. The semiological approach shows that there are lots of signifiers that need signified more than what has been stated. Those signifiers have linked religion and religious beliefs. The thing that is clear is that to kill human beings and victimize them for the gods has existed among former religions and nations. Semiological analysis and their equivalents show that there is a strong connection between the victimization of human beings among former nations, and the victimization of boys for gods among Jahili Arabs, and the burying of girls. And this connection links tradition to religion and beliefs.

This article is interdisciplinary analysis between sociology andliterature and tries to study works of Sohrab Sepehri from sociologicalperspective. For this purpose, other than using various sociologicaltheories related to this field such as post-structuralism and modernhermeneutics, the methodology of Lacla and Mouffe‟s discourse analysisis also used. The results of this research show that, the works of Sepehrilack semantic determination, and the relationship between signifier andsignified is not one-to-one. This explains the possibility of poststructuralismof his works. This research also shows the literature of Iranalongside world literature has a high capacity to address human andsocial issues and interprets them with different approaches, whichSepehri‟s narrative is just one of them. This research and similar works,while discovering such potentialities, diminished the intricacies of theseworks, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary research andhighlighting the necessity of simultaneous education in the respectiveacademic disciplines.

Britain as a European power is always famous for her opposition to deepening integration in Europe and Europeanization. In fact this country is one of the staunchest opposition of converting the European Union into European federation. The observers are of the view that it is only the economic compulsion that has made Britain join the process of integration and this country is having a supra Atlantic outlook. The present paper by taking the help of discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe wants to identify and analyze the signs (signifier and signified) present in foreign policy discourse of European Union which is articulated by Britain as an important member of the union and also examine the formative discourse atmosphere in order to explain the process of making British and European identity and to make possible the tense approach of Britain foreign policy
