An Examination of the Intellectual Depth in the Poetry of Fakhr‑e Azmi Arghun, a Poet of the Constitutional Era: A Discourse Analysis of Female Agency, Reconstruction of Women’s Identity, and the Nexus between Poetry and Social Action
Masoumeh Shasati (Author in Charge)
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to examine the intellectual depth of Fakhr‑e Azmi Arghun’s poetry, an influential poet of the Constitutional era, through a discourse‑oriented analysis of female agency and the reconstruction of women’s identity in her poetic works. The central question is whether Arghun’s poetry merely reflects the social transformations of the Constitutional period or actively functions as a linguistic act contributing to the formation and consolidation of a new female discourse.
METHODOLOGY: The research employs a descriptive‑analytical approach based on textual analysis and linguistic criticism. By analyzing metaphors and exploring the social and communicative functions of poetry, the study investigates the discursive components related to the representation of women in Arghun’s poems.
FINDINGS: The findings reveal that several prominent themes emerge in Arghun’s poetry, including the transition from silence to agency, critique of patriarchal family structures, emphasis on women’s education and awareness, expressions of feminine patriotism, advocacy of social justice, and the integration of lyrical expression with social action.
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that Arghun redefines prevailing concepts of womanhood and constructs a self‑aware and active female subject within the public sphere. Her poetic language functions not only as a medium for emotional expression but also as a tool for persuasion, education, and social protest. In this way, Arghun plays a significant role in shaping the emerging women’s discourse of the Constitutional era and bridges the traditional lyrical literary heritage with modern social demands.
