Ideological Postmodernism from the Perspective of Sociological Critique(Case Study: The Ode “Fadhihat al-Thalab” by Ibrahim Nasrallah)

Sociological criticism of literature is one of the new methods of literary criticism, the systematic and scientific formation of which dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. According to the experts in the field of sociology of literature, each literary work is an artistic expression of the social events of its time. In this method of criticism, the structure and content of the literary work and its relationship with the conditions of the social and political environment, the worldview and attitude of the author of the work, and how the image of society is reflected in his fictional and artistic world are examined. Postmodernism is also one of the new approaches of the contemporary century, which implies a broad semantic sphere, including art and literature, culture, politics, and economics, and represents a new phase of developments in human history. This research tried to study the socio-political ode of the Fadhihat al-Thalab by Ibrahim Nasrallah, one of the most prominent poets and writers of the Palestinian resistance, and to evaluate the aspects of ideological postmodernism in it. The research method is descriptive and the data analysis method is qualitative. The results showed that although the poet has used the formalities and techniques in terms of formal and technical aspects that make his poetry one of the postmodernist works, but in terms of content and semantics, relying on his ideological attitude, he has strayed from some rules of postmodernism and has used them for spreading his beliefs. In this ode, Ibrahim Nasrallah has tried not to leave the framework of his beliefs while creating a literary work in a new form. Thus, by highlighting the various aspects of American arrogance, he has criticized the imperialist thinking of this country.
