A Lyric and Didactic Investigation of Lullabies in Bushehr Province

In the cultural studies approach, the researcher not only dose limit his research to the well-known and prestigious works, but also considers the popular literature as an indicator of the society's culture and worthy for criticism. since lullabies are considered as part of folk and oral literature, It is important to achieve more understanding of people of different regions in the field of anthropology and, Therefore, it is useful to investigate how lullabies show social and cultural situation in the region. As writing down and recalling a few lullabies by themselves do not represent a community, the researcher must observe how these lullabies reflect the culture of a society. In this investigation there is an attempt to show that some of the lullabies illustrate the ideals of mothers and religious identity of the people. Lullabies also show the social and economic anxieties of people and family structures such as emotional relations and polygamy. Since the researches done so far about the lullabies of Bushehr have been more collective rather than analytic, this project seems necessary to make known cultural and economical point of views and religious identity of people in Bushehr specially those of mothers and women in this area
