Abstract

Antoin Sevruguin is an artist and photographer of the Qajar periodical that, despite having the king's attention and interest, could demonstrate a critical perspective, appeal and protest of the conscious and protesting class of the society, by displaying a subject in different strata of society through the camera. Lucien Goldmann, a structuralist sociologist and theorist, used this method in his innovative approach called "genetic structuralism". Therefore, finding the worldview of its work and its relation to a social class is the basis of the genetic structuralism. The library and documentary data collection method is used in this study. In this discourse, the researcher has attempted to find the hidden worldview of the works by using the genetic structuralism and link it to the influential social group and examine the relationship between them. In the following, using the components within the works and the meaningful structure of society, he answers the following question: What is the role of different classes in shaping the forms and themes of Qajar period photography? The results indicate that there is a dialectical relationship between the artwork and the class. Antoin Sevruguin in all his works used themes and concepts such as class differences, presentation of Shah's power and superiority, considering people inferior, misogyny in society, Western influence, ignorance and negligence, humor and disorder in the community, along with the role of the protest class in informing the people.

Abstract

Sociological criticism in the literature analyzes the structures of a society through literary works. Embracing subjects concerning history and sociology links, types, social classes, ideologies, meaningful frameworks, and reflection theory in examining the artworks, Lucian Goldman, as a theoretician, proposed the genetic structuralism by organizing George Lucas ideas. Based on this method, the present study aimed to sociologically criticize the drama play by Akbar Radi, under the name of Ofool (The Descent).To do so, two major questions were designed to investigate the extent to which aesthetic structure of Ofool as a realistic work has a mutual relationship with the structure of the society in its era (۱۹۶۰s). It also explored the realization of the playwright's ideology, as a member of the intellectuals' social class, and the likely awareness of this social class in his literary work. Using descriptive as well as analytical approach, the study concluded that the overall framework of Ofool justified the why of social movements' failure in the ۱۹۶۰s and the pathology of that era via the representation of different social classes and the gaps among them. The author tried not to impose his ideology on the work and kept his play loyal to the realistic style although he reflected the values and consciousness of the intellectuals' social class in his literary work.
