Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the textual-contextual images of poem 23 of Shamlou with Fairclough pattern. Poem 23 is a political poem, and Fairclough's critical discourse analysis approach is efficient enough in the discourse analysis of this poem. This poem is an allegorical expression of the political situation of the time. The rhetorical dimensions of the images were analyzed at the level of description, and the situational context and political-social structures affecting the images were analyzed at the levels of interpretation and explanation. The central image of the poem is the chaos of the social-political situation in Iran at that time. The situational context of the pictures is the march of 23 July 1330, which resulted in the death of a large number of people. The structure influencing the space of images is the chaos of the political situation, the open and hidden differences of power institutions, the interference and competition of foreign factors, and the opposition of the leftist thinking to America and capitalism. The ideological function of the images can be found in the simultaneity of writing poetry with events, explicit expression, political words, the poet's leftist orientation and his opposition to the government.
