Abstract

Homayounameh, belonging to Abdul Razzaq Beg Donboli, a poet at the court of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, is a six-thousand-line poem in the form of a religious epic. It is considered as a sub-type of Mukhtarnameh that narrates Mukhtar's uprising in the form of an epic poem. While being influenced by Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the poet has been particularly influenced by the epic of his contemporary flagship, Fath Ali Khan Saba. In the first Qajar period, the school of return was the dominant style in the Persian poetry. In this paper, considering the belonging of Donboli to the circle of poets at the court of Qajar kings, the ideological manifestations of the ruling discourse in Homayounameh have been analyzed by identifying high-frequency indicators. Marking is a conceptual lexical relationship that examines the semantic burden of marked words compared to other words. It is also one of the most important semantic tools for understanding the ideological space governing a speech. This study identifies the words marked in Homayounnameh and classifies them into two groups. The first set of words includes those with national and religious symbols, representing the opposition of national and mythological foundations with religious foundations. They served to express the dominant political ideology in the Qajar period. The second group consists of assimilated words with national or religious components in different positions. They have led to the legitimation of political power in the text.
