Abstract: (17 Views)
In his fatalistic verses, Hafez simultaneously invites his audience to patience and submission in the face of destiny while adopting a critical tone and mounting epic protests against the social and political authorities of his era. This study, employing discourse analysis methodology, seeks to elucidate these two seemingly incompatible approaches within Hafez's intellectual paradigm. The investigation reveals that beneath the textual surface and beyond the apparent expressions of his poetry that speak of patience and submission to fate, Hafez endeavors to construct a critical discourse through the utilization of mystical and libertine language aimed at effecting change in macro-social structures and combating power institutions and their associated ideologies. Under the veneer of fatalism, he pursues objectives transcending the mere propagation of predestination in his poetry, striving to dismantle the hegemony of Sharia-oriented discourses in his epoch through the reproduction of new semantic interpretations of patience, submission, and fatalistic themes.
