چکیده:
The issue of unveiling in contemporary Iranian history is one of the controversial and important topics within the scope of Reza Shah's cultural actions and activities. In fact, the perspectives of living in a European style after the Constitutional Revolution prompted intellectuals to advocate for an even greater presence of women in the social scene, and they considered changing the traditional attire of Iranian women as one of the ways to achieve this. In this regard, in addition to academics and politicians, writers and poets also took up their pens in literary fields and reflected this change in attire in their literary writings. The question arises: what matters have poets such as Iraj Mirza, Aref Qazvini, and Mirzadeh Eshghi addressed in this regard? This writing aims to examine, using a descriptive-analytical method, the poems of these poets in connection with the trend of modernism in opposition to women's hijab. In their writings, they engaged in severe criticism and condemnation of women's hijab, and of course, in many cases, they fell into contradictions in their own poems.
خلاصه ماشینی:
This research first takes a brief look at the subject of modernity in Iran and then considers the literature and themes of Constitutional poetry as an introduction to the present discussion, and finally analyzes and presents the main topic, which is the perspective and way of thinking of three prominent poets, namely Iraj Mirza, Aref Qazvini, and Eshghi, regarding the criticism and condemnation of the hijab of Iranian women.
During the Constitutional Movement and the discussion of transformation and modernity, the intellectuals of that period, facing internal despotism and the political and social backwardness of Iranian society, saw the symbols of Western civility—including national government, law, parliamentarism, freedom of expression, science, and technique—as the sole way to save and liberate society from the status quo.
ir Iraj Mirza, in his condemnation of women's hijab, his aversion to it, and the fact that women with coverings also become involved in immoral issues in the poem "Aref Nameh," has progressed to the point where other poets have taken up their pens to criticize his poetry.
Mirzadeh Eshghi, like Iraj Mirza and Aref Qazvini, sees lost rights, honor, and the praise of Iranian women when they remove their hijab and thus feel their presence in society.
