Abstract

       The Islamic Revolution had a profound impact on all aspects of Iranian society, including political, social, economic, religious, and more. It transformed and revolutionized them. Persian literature, especially poetry, was also subjected to the influence of the revolution in a way that led to the emergence of a new literary genre called 'Islamic Revolutionary Literature. One of the notable transformations in the literature of the revolution, compared to the literature before it, is the growth and dynamic expansion of revolutionary poetry, which is subject to examination in terms of both structure (form) and the content of the poetry.
Given that revolutionary poetry is purposeful and oriented towards transcendence, it inherently possesses a progressive, dynamic, and active form and structure. This article aims to categorize and analyze the various aspects of semantic and structural dynamism in the poetry of the revolution (21 works by 17 poets). The authors of this research intend to investigate the impact of the Islamic Revolution on the dynamism of meaning and form (structure) in the poetry of this era. They seek to determine whether the Islamic Revolution, similar to other socio-political transformations, has fundamentally influenced Persian literature (especially poetry). Has the Islamic Revolution had a significant and fundamental impact on the dynamism of meaning and form in poetry and literature? On which strategies is the dynamism of poetry more prominently based before and after the revolution?
