Resurrection of Words: a Work in Defending Formalism

Contrary to the tradition of some professors such as Forouzanfar, Homaee, Zarrinkoub who mainly discussed on life and thought of the author / poet – some of the works by Dr. Shafiee Kadkani are specific and different because they have emphasized on the question of form and the form of literary work apart from the content and theme, and they have written sometimes books (poetry, music) or perfectly form oriented articles (based on formalist). Resurrection of words: in this meantime, a lesson of speeches on literary theory of Russian formalists has been the most formalist work by him in which not only is discussed on the introduction of the formalism (history, teachings and characters affected), but also some of his articles have been included which have been written with inspiration from their ideas.
With all the advantages that this book has (such as all works by Dr. Shafiee Kadkani), there are some criticisms on it. The main criticisms are as follows: 1- incomplete expression (and possibly incorrect) background / context of the emergence of Russian Formalism, 2- lack of coherence of theories presented by the author, 3- some irrefutable and non-scientific propositions in the book and 4- finally, the inclusion of chapters such as "potter motif evolution in the poetry of Omar Khayyam" which is not consistent with formalism space of the book of resurrection of words.
