Abstract

Critical analysis of discourse goes beyond the level of sentences and words in examining texts and pays attention to the context of the situation in which the text was formed and refers to two social and linguistic approaches. In the social approach, discourse is defined as situational context, and in the linguistic approach, textual context is explained. The memories and events of the Holy Defense era play a prominent role in introducing that era to today's generation and making it an example. The book "Da" is part of the memoirs of the holy defense, which Hosseini discussed the resistance and sacrifices of the Iranian people against the aggression of the Baathist regime in Iraq. The narrator narrates the memories of the war focusing on the role of a woman and her perspective on the war. The purpose of writing this article is to reflect the discourse of resistance in the novel "Da" based on the analysis of Van Dijk's discourse. This book has been analyzed using a qualitative method based on Van Dyaijk's critical discourse analysis. The results of the research show that the book reveals the value, epic, emotional discourse of war and is influenced by various components of the resistance discourse. The main theme of this speech is a call to uphold Islamic values, which shows the author's ideology and shows the extent of the author's adherence to his claims in the axis of the resistance discourse.
