Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze and examine the distortion of the Shahnameh in various forms and methods. The assumption of the article is: the Shahnameh has an identifiable and understandable identity and essence. The hypothesis of the article is: some people, knowingly or unknowingly, empty the Shahnameh of its true meaning. In this article, 'Turkification' is examined as one of the most important instances of distorting this great human masterpiece. The method of this article is based on the historical course of authentic studies of the Shahnameh, including literary and cultural studies, as the foundations for understanding Iran's national epic, and matching distortions (in this case, Turkification) as a deviated or biased branch. The result of the study, in addition to its theoretical application, can also be used in cultural planning.
Machine summary:
The method of this article is based on establishing the historical course of authentic studies of the Shahnameh, including literary and cultural studies, as the foundations for understanding Iran's national epic, and comparing distortions (in this case, Turkification) as a deviated or biased branch.
6 Pan-Arabism, which is the product of Arab identity-making in the twentieth century and has yielded no fruit so far, considers Iranian culture and civilization its most important rival in West Asia and the world.
Arabic-Turkish literature and art in no historical period have created not only the Shahnameh, but even texts less significant than it; therefore, the Shahnameh must be rejected, denied, and distorted so that space can be made for Arabic-Turkish cultural possessions.
The Shahnameh can be considered based on a historical philosophy, where the outcome of real historical events and their cognitive formulation, along with the text itself, serves as a basis for understanding the history of Iran.
The most mysterious form of Iranophobia is the distortion, confiscation, and emptying of the meaning of literary texts that emerged and were constructed from Iranian culture and civilization.
4- Until the new inventions in the field of Iran's cultural and political issues, which have no basis in science and human understanding, Iran was considered a unified country in which the world's first historical nation resides; however, as a result of baseless new inventions, different ethnic groups have been found, and an ethnic group called "Persian" has been fabricated, and the Shahnameh is attributed to this spurious ethnic group.
