Transnational Approaches in Abdolvahab Bayati's Poetry

Subjective study of poetical works and texts analysis play important roles in recognizing cultural, social, regional and global issues because, social and cultural features constitute a poet's and an author's personality and mental bases.  The poet's outlook, insight and attention are understandable. Moreover, poem ineffaceability is depended on the poet's point of view; the more expanded it is, the more ineffaceable it will be in people minds and all the history. However, if the extension is considered to the certain people and limited time, it will finish as soon as the time finishes and audiences leave. Sometimes, the poet's audiences are including his nation and he remains inside the boundaries. But occasionally, the poet speaks beyond the boundaries which its secret is beyond the spatial limits called transnational. It should be noted that he is the poet of underclass people intended to develope equality and justice among different classes and tried to pack away injustice and cruelty from the society. Bayati considers Palestinians as his nation and hopes that palestinians will overcome Israelis one day. This transnational face of the poet has made him to manifest as an expressive language for nations. In addition to the realism, he was interested in romanticism and its different manifestations as well. Freedom, death, dream and beauty are of issues on which the poet focused romantically and epitomized himself and his trannational approach. Topics including realism and romanticism nostalgias are of the most considerable transnational layers in Bayati's poems manifested in various topics. Nostalgia and its different manifestations shade on Bayati's poems. Hope, exile, freedom and feminism are of the most important nostalgic manifestations in Bayati's poem which reveals his transnational view. Among contemporary Arab poets, only a few address human as human kind and not within a certain limit.  In this study, Abdolvahab Bayati's outlook and attention to the transnational human values and his poetical works are examined. It seems that the reason for Bayati's poetry being transnational is due to his influences from the two schools of Marxism and Sufism, and this is evident in his poems. It is noted that transnational values are studied using analytical-descriptive method.  The most important parts of this study include the presentation of data and tokens in Bayati's poetical works and conclusion and results.
