بررسی ساختار قدرت و مقاومت در رمان سووشون سیمین دانشور براساس نظریه قصه‌گویی، باورپذیری و آسیب‌پذیری آلن سینفیلد مقاله

چکیده:

Simin Daneshvar is one of the contemporary Persian writers whose influence on fiction is undeniable. She has her particular voice and narration, marked by outstanding knowledge of various fields including literature, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and local and national traditions that greatly contributed to the depth and breadth of her narration. Daneshvar is one of the few non-biased writers whose works are a mirror to society, representing almost most of the political, social, and cultural discourses of the age. Her works capture a critical moment in the history of Iran, criticizing the distortions and prejudices among the people and the higher layers of society. She believes in a kind of freedom that leads to emancipation not only politically but also mentally and intellectually (Razaviyan, 2013: 94; Rad et al., 2017: 12). A City Like Paradise (1961), Savushun (1969), To Whom Shall I Say Hello? (1980), and Island of Wandering (1992), together with translations of Arms and the Man (1949), The Scarlet Letter (1954), The Human Comedy (1954), Cry, the Beloved Country (1972), and The Cherry Orchard (2003) are among her works. The present research studies Savushun, which takes place in the feudal period in Shiraz, coinciding with the Second World War, when Iran was occupied by the British and the Russians from the south and the north, respectively, and the people suffered from hunger and famine due to this occupation.
