The Emergence of a Literary System in the Pre-Constitutional Era Regarding Translation as a Poly-system

The main point is how translation as a system plays a role in the emergence and transformation of the Persian pre-Constitutional literary poly-system. As a tool, translation makes a change not only in the social and political sectors of the community but also in the development of the cultural and literary systems of society. In the pre-Constitutional era, the prevalence of translation led to the emergence of new patterns that have not previously been prevalent in the community. Meanwhile, Even-Zohar’s poly-system theory can offer illuminating insights into the literary and cultural poly-system prevalent in the pre-Constitutional era. Overall, the translation system brings with it some new literary genres into the repertoire of the Persian literary and cultural poly-system. Therefore, the translation system, along with other systems, plays an important role in producing newly-born genres in the pre-modern Iranian literary poly-system.
