بازنمایی نیروهای قدرت در ادبیات نمایشی دهۀ چهل خورشیدی (مطالعۀ موردی نمایشنامه‌ها‌ی «آی بی‌کلاه،آی‌باکلاه» و «دیکته»)

Analyzing the dramatic contexts considering the effective conditions under which they have been formed provide a better vision and a more accurate attitude towards the interior atmosphere of drama. Definitely, significant factors play roles in creating a drama ranging from the lexical-linguistic elements to the social-political conditions particularly the power relations and the effectiveness of the dominant ideology on the author’s mentality. How to represent the forces of power is an issue which has been dealt with the researchers in various fields, in particular, in the critical discourse analysis. This study aims to investigate the representation in the works of one of the most well-known Iranian authors as a sample of the left political discourse which has been dominant on the intellectuals after August 1941. From the works of this era, the plays “A-ye bi Kolah, A-ye ba Kolah” and “Dikte” by Gholam-Hossein Sa'edi have been chosen since some of the most important concerns of Gholam-Hossein Sa'edi as an intellectual were notifying people of the present ignorance and superstitions and also releasing them from the conspiracies of foreign colonialism and internal tyranny. Specifically, this paper tries to represent the forces of power and to determine the way of their confrontation by the use of the mentioned method. The findings of analyzing the works by the approach of Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis reveal that in the literal-political field in Iran during the 1960s and 1970s, the power played a distinguished and important role in dominating a discourse among the present discourses
