Structural Situation of Poetry in Iranian Society

The subject of the present essay goes back to an anthropological and sociological question about the proccess of poetic creation with regard to social mechanisms. To answer this question, the authors initially refer to Lucien Goldman’s model of study in «Hidden God.» In this text, the similar relations of God, human beings and the universe as tripled elements of society’s structure have been portrayed. After these theoretical introductions, the essay focuses on the development of poetic structure with regard to the structure of society. Then based on the mentioned tripled elements, the mechanical structure of tradditional poetry is associated with the mechanical structure of pre-modern society. Thus, the objective and subjective embodiments of homological relations between God Almighty and human beings in heavenly world is set as an agenda. The essay comes to an end by presenting the overlapping of social structure as the objective aspect with poetic structure as the subjective aspect.
