Analysis of storytelling discourses in the Safavid era (Case study of the stories of Abu Moslem Nameh, Hossein Kurd Shab estari and Kulthoum Naneh.)

The Safavid era was the scene of confrontation between religious-cultural and intellectual spectrums and currents, followed by political power. Due to their religious and mystical status, the Safavids first used cultural tools such as storytelling to overcome their opponents; Stories with national-religious heroism that, while entertaining the Ghizilbas, played a significant role as a creed of belief in encouraging and uniting to overcome internal and external opponents; However, this important tool was unloved and sanctioned after the establishment of the Safavid rule and the entry and domination of the Shari’a discourse, and the narrators and friends of the story, especially Abu Moslem nameh, were attacked, threatened and killed.This article tries to represent the historical context of the Safavid rule by analyzing the semiotic discourse, the reasons for the convergence of the proponents and the divergence of the opponents in the main discourse of “Sharia and Tariqat” and other hidden discourses in storytelling of this era, in three prose stories “Abu Moslem nameh “, Hossein Kurd Shabestari And Kulthoum Naneh”according to the ideological square of Van Dijk” and the theoretical framework of Laclau and Moff, using rhetorical-expressive arrangements to explain how different discourses emerged in the stories of the Safavid era and how discourse in the first century could use tricks Destroy, deny, threaten and even kill, while highlighting themselves, marginalize the Ghizilbashan discourse; But in the last century, due to the divergence and indecision of the same discourse in monitoring and observing religious affairs and changing the attitude of the political power of the kings towards the Sufis, it was not very successful in this struggle. The aim of this dissertation is to reconstruct the historical context and by analyzing the literary works of the three periods of emergence, authority and decline, to examine and explain the dominance of influential discourses in the storytelling of the Safavid era.The purposeful use of the story to advance religious and ideological goals and other discourses to achieve power and supremacy over the opponent in the three periods of Safavid rule is the subject of this dissertation, which is based on a descriptive-analytical method based on library resources.
