Resistance literature has a long history as long as there are human beings on Earth, and resistance to the rebellious soul in the first Persian poems, which has appeared in the form of educational literature, is a form of resistance literature. The ancient literature of resistance, which is manifested in the form of educational literature, depicts the stability of man against the soul (internal enemy) and has a narrative structure (poetic structure), but the concept of resistance over time and based on the situation of human beings and their resistance against the invading foreign enemies is manifested in another genre called resistance literature with a different structure, so that elements such as temporal position, audience position, type of genre, etc. have been involved in the formation of these two structures. 
Resistance literature includes but is not limited to fiction, cinema, drama, poetry, visual art, and song, reflecting the many forms of political resistance throughout history. Resistance literature and media actively resist oppression or oppressive systems in a creative manner.
