The Relation of Politics and the Political in Reading of the Rhetorical Literature: A Case Study on the Poetry of Sohrab Sepehri

Some thinkers like Paul Ricoeur, Hannah Arendt and Chantal Mouffe have distincted "Politics" and "the Political" in a manner as if there is a dichotomy and opposition between them. Such standpoints make problem in reading and evaluation of an important part of literature: rhetoric literature and specially rhetoric poetry. This article is based on a study to know that how any change in our conceptin of the relation of "Politics" and "the Political", can impress our understanding of produce and significance of this kind of literature. The poetry of Sohrab Sepehri which usually has been supposed that is a non-political poetry, is a good sample to see that more appropriate definition of "the Political" can result in a better knowing of the political dimension and the place of such poetries in contemporary political societies.
