Abstract:
The new studies of childhood in general and the sociology of childhood in particular commenced in the world half a century ago, and at present it is going ahead and expanding rapidly, but this issue still remains unknown in Iran. There have been always certain discussions about children in traditional approach, but in modern approach children and their demands have remained unnoticed. Modern sociology of children, both assists the cognition of the child, his world, and his needs, and leads to the creation of a kind of literature compatible with the new values of children. Childhood values have nothing to do with those of the mature age; however, since children literature have been created by the mature ones, as a result, the former have been developed based on the values of the latter. Sociologically speaking, the concept of childhood is basically rooted in modern age. Children not only remain unnoticed but also have been put aside. Indeed, owing to their particular situation, that is, being subordinated to others, children in sociological theories and conceptualizations were not treated primarily. Moreover, following the Second World War certain changes took place such as the rise of the feminist movements, development of the structure of government and social welfare, relative enhancement of health services, changes in family structure and futurology and the development of sciences. All these changes led to the development of new studies of childhood age and based on certain structural and interpretative theories three views came up as follows: 1- Childhood in a period of life forms a particular structure in which they live out and is considered to be a part of society as well. 2- Children are themselves builders of society and childhood age. 3- Like elders children are subjected to similar social forces. This paper is an attempt to study the ideas of childhood age in Persian literature as depicted in Sa‘di’s Gulistan. In this study Sa‘di has been referred to as the poet of education and the representative of early generation and Parvin E‘tisami as the representative of later and new generation. Though this study may deem to be meager, it can pave the way for an important task. In this paper we offer the word, “interpretative reproduction” in which the two key elements of language and cultural processes will be studied.
