Analyzing the ideological reflection of the historical contradiction of the state The nation in short stories by Mahmoud Dolatabadi

The ratio of government apparatus to social institutions has a special place in Mahmoud Dolatabadi’s short stories which has often been overlooked due to being in the shadow of Kalidar. Accordingly, by analyzing the actions and reactions of social groups with the state institution that are the Quasi-nation of the nation, one can define and explain this two-way relationship which takes into account the legitimacy of the power institution from the point of view of society. The results of the receipt and explanation of these works reflect the fact that there is a kind of alienation, rupture, and fission between the institutional power and the community that led to the confrontation between the two institution. On the other hand, the reflection of this confrontation is based on linguistic and literary techniques embodied in fictional masterpieces. From the point of view of ideological function, it means the increasing deepening of the discontinuity. In the final analysis, it focuses on a kind of decriminalization of the dominant political discourse of the Pahlavi era.
