 strong>سخنران:</strong> دکتر سالور ملایری، دکترای زبان‌های مدرن، دانشگاه سن
 ت اندروز</p><p>مطالعات مربوط به ادبیات جنگ ایران و عراق عمدتاً بر آن دسته ا
 ز آثار متمرکز است که با پروپاگاندای جنگی رژیم اسلامی ایران که به‌عنوان «ادب
 یات دفاع مقدس» شناخته می‌شود همسو است. این سخنرانی به داستان‌هایی می‌پردازد
  که با به چالش کشیدن کدهای فرهنگی و زیبایی‌شناختی ادبیات دفاع مقدس، تصویری 
 متفاوت ارائه می‌دهند و فضایی را برای درک انتقادی از جنگ فراهم می‌کنند. این 
 پژوهش از مفاهیم نشانه‌شناسی انتقادی و نظریهٔ تحلیل گفتمان استفاده می‌کند تا
  میزان بازتولید یا به چالش کشیدن گزاره‌های ایدئولوژیک موجود در ادبیات دفاع 
 مقدس توسط این آثار ادبی را بررسی کند. دکتر سالور ملایری آثاری را از نویسندگ
 ان مستقل که تلاش کردند به گفتمان‌ها و گروه‌های اجتماعی سرکوب‌شده یا به حاشی
 ه رانده‌شده صدا بدهند، بررسی خواهد کرد.</p></div><p> <br />The event record
 ing is now available:</p><p>https://youtu.be/ySyUmJjhkYM<br /><em>Presented
  in English with subtitles.</em></p><p>Studies on Iran-Iraq war literature 
 tend to focus on those works which represent the war propaganda of the Isla
 mic regime\, known as the ‘literature of the sacred defence’ (<em>adabiyyāt
 -e defā’-e moqaddas</em>). However\, this talk will focus on those stories 
 that offer a different image and provide a space for a critical understandi
 ng of the war by challenging the cultural and aesthetic codes of the Sacred
  Defence literature. This study will use the premises of critical semiotics
  and discourse analysis theory to examine the extent to which the ideologic
 al statements embedded in the Sacred Defence literature are either reproduc
 ed or challenged by these literary works. This talk will focus on the first
  decade of the Islamic revolution (the 80s) when the Sacred Defence discour
 se was in its most hegemonic stage\, and the war was still going on. Dr. Sa
 lour Malayeri will examine works from independent writers who tried to give
  voice to suppressed or marginalised discourses and social groups\, works f
 rom Javād Mojābi\, Mansur Kushān\, Amir Hossein Cheheltan\, Qāzi Rabihāvi a
 nd Taqi Modarresi.</p><p><strong>Salour Malayeri</strong> earned his PhD in
  Modern Languages from the University of St Andrews. His PhD thesis focuses
  on ideology and resistance in Nāser-e Khosrow’s poetry. In his thesis\, Sa
 lour uses the method of discourse analysis and the critique of ideology to 
 investigate the relationship between the literary tradition and Ismaili dis
 course in Nāser-e Khosrow’s <em>Divan</em>. Salour is also interested in th
 e history of modern literary criticism in Iran and the dialogue between tra
 dition and modernity in the early 20th-century Persian poetry. His chapter 
 on the literary views of Mirza Fatali Akhundzādeh (Akhundov) has been publi
 shed by Ginko Library in ‘Iran’s Constitutional Revolution of 1906: Narrati
 ves of Enlightenment’ edited by Ali M Ansari. His second publication on Ira
 nian modern literary criticism and poetry focuses on Mohammad-Taqi Bahār’s 
 literary heritage\, which will be published by Routledge in an edited volum
 e by Homa Katouzian and Alireza Korangi. Salour has been teaching Persian l
 anguage and literature in the School of Modern Languages\, St Andrews Unive
 rsity. Currently\, he is working on his monograph\, ‘Temporality and Endura
 nce: A Study of Ideology and Resistance in the Poems of Nāsir-i Khusraw’ wh
 ich is based on his doctoral thesis.</p><p> </p><div><strong>About the Alir
