Revisiting the Rhetorical Structure and Feminine Discourse in Contemporary Iranian Poetry with a Focus on Female Poets

Abstract

This article analyzes the rhetorical structure and feminine discourse in contemporary Iranian poetry, with a focus on the works of female poets. The primary objective of this research is to examine how feminine identity and social experiences of women are represented in contemporary poetry through the use of rhetorical and discursive techniques. By analyzing the works of prominent poets such as Forugh Farrokhzad, Simin Behbahani, and other contemporary female poets, the study explores rhetorical structures such as metaphors, repetition, and sensory imagery. The findings suggest that female poets effectively address social issues, gender inequalities, and feminine identity using these techniques. Moreover, this paper examines the impact of feminine discourse on the social and cultural structures of contemporary Iran and analyzes its role in the transformation of contemporary Iranian literature. Ultimately, the research concludes that feminine discourse is significantly present in contemporary Iranian poetry, and through the use of distinctive language and rhetoric, it conveys the experiences of women.
