Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: one of the scientific and proven methods of criticizing literary texts is the interdisciplinary study of these works; Analysis of literary texts based on legal and sociological studies is one of the important types of interdisciplinary studies. This method of study causes the microscopic observation of the internal angles of literary texts; Therefore, in order to get to know an author as well as possible, interdisciplinary review and criticism of that text is necessary. In this essay, considering the importance of legal issues in the formation of exciting literary stories and also the role of literature in introducing legal principles, the reflection of the provisions of the Declaration of Human Rights in the fictional works of one of Iran"s modernist writers, Shahriar Mandanipour, is investigated.

METHODOLOGY: The study method in this article is analytical-descriptive and the data collection method is library studies. In this essay, the general atmosphere, history, and concept of human rights are first introduced, and then the theoretical foundations and main materials of human rights are used in the analysis of Shahriar Mandanipour"s works. For this purpose, all fiction works of this author have been studied and reviewed.

FINDINGS: Based on the findings of this article, among the most important provisions of human rights that Mandanipour ordered his audience to observe, freedom and equality in terms of dignity and rights; the right to freedom and personal security; prohibition of torture, punishment, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; equality before the law; The right to travel and reside freely in other countries; The right to asylum in another country against torture, persecution and harassment; The right to marry at legal age without any restrictions on race, nationality, or religion; the right to freedom of opinion and expression; The right to a decent life, health and well-being; And the right to education is universal (ten principles).

CONCLUSION: More than any principle, Mandanipour has addressed the principle of "the right to a decent life, health and well-being". Of course, he has a pessimistic view and position on these issues and actually has no hope for the implementation of human rights in the current world, especially in the third world and especially in the Middle East.
