   In the sociology of literature, which is an interdisciplinary science, literature is viewed as one of the social institutions that is influenced by the developments of social life. Experts in this field examine any works of art and various texts that reflect society. Pierre Bourdieu's theory of "character and field" is one of the sociological approaches in which the various dimensions of society as a field and the institutionalization of matters following the field as a character are considered in a wide range of dimensions. This sociological approach can be reflected in literary texts with the help of interdisciplinary studies. In the present study, an attempt is made to explore the descriptive-analytical fields of the fields in Golpayegani's intoxicated poems and the characteristics that he shows in social fields in order to answer the questions that this poet according to the conditions of his society. What fields is affected and based on it, what characteristics does it reflect in its poems? The results indicate that Madhosh Golpayegani, considering the social fields of "prosperity of cultural, artistic and literary affairs", "influence of the clergy" and "progress of society", manifests various meaningful characters in his poems in the form of themes and styles. His personality is visible. Manuscript profile

  Social rereading of Kayumars’s myth with respect to Iran’s cultural medium   *Ali Zia oddini Dasht Khaki PhD Student, Persian Literature, Ferdowsi University, Mashhad, Iran **Mahdokht Pour Khaleghi Chatroudi Lecturer, Ferdowsi University, Mashhad, Iran Date of reception: 96/8/14 Date of acceptance: 96/11/15   Abstract Myths are closely related to social issues.  Social rereading of this relation necessitates a theoretical background in order to explain the relationship between the text and its medium.  The relation between Literature and society is defined according to the sociological parameters of the cultural medium since this medium is the arena where all cultural creations particularly literary ones through different forces cause a cultural action to take place.  Using content analysis and documentary search method, this research seeks to study Kayumars’s myth according to Persian cultural medium.  The results found are as follows: Since mythological tales in Shahnameh are narrated within a historical time span, dealing with myths is considered as a kind of deliberate return to the myths whose most dominant aspect is the social one.  The existence of numerous narratives of Kayumars’s tale within the cultural medium and Ferdowsi’s particular choice of these narratives is indicative of certain social consciousness which is connected to the social Persian medium of Ferdowsi’s time.  In textual structures of kayumars’s myth in Shahnameh there are instances which refer to the religious aspect, social norms of the society of the time and also refer how Ferdowsi had been under the influence of social movements and central powers of his time. * . aliziairan@yahoo.com ** . mahdokhtpourkhaleghi@gmail.com Manuscript profile

  The Sociological approach to literature is one of the newest fields in sociology. In this field, the religious, moral, social, economical, political and ideological ambience of society in connection with literature is investigated. Within this framework the poetry of Ashraf al-Din Gilani, a popular poet of the constitutional period is analyzed.  New concepts such as home, government, nation, freedom, law are abundant in this period.  Although some of these words were seen in poetry in the past, yet we are confronted with a modern application of them which arose from the new ideas of constitutionalism and dominance of people.  Nasim Shomal’s poetry has been chosen because it is thought that due to low level of literacy of most Iranians in that period people could better memorize the poems since they were rhythmic and had a conversational style and people were better influenced by their contents.  Gilani came from the North, lived among and with people and was well aware of the peoples’ lives and their preoccupations hence he could very well relate with them.  In this article, first we have divided the events in the constitution period into three parts in terms of social, political and economical aspects, and then we have classified the themes of the poems of his Divan accordingly.  The concordance of the themes with the historical events reveals that the poet was conscious of his time and he has very well reflected inconveniences, hopes, class differences, poverty, family problems, and etc in his poetry.
