Investigating and analyzing the components of national identity in Akhavan’s and Shafi'i Kadkani’s Poetry

As Identity is connected to individuality, it is one of the most important topics in the field of humanities. Because it is only in the shadow of identity that man is released from invisibility in society then he reaches the individual and prepares to play its human role in society. Therefore, in all human societies, national identity has more social value than other identities. The subject of the present article is the study of national identity in the poetry of two great contemporary poets, Akhavan and Shafi'i Kadkani. To understand it, we first briefly study the issue of identity, cultural identity, social identity and national identity and then, we have found, categorized and analyzed the objects of national identity in the poems of these two poets to show its impact on their poetry. The data of this research have collected in a library and documentary manner and then we analyzed them using a descriptive method. As a result, both poets are prominent in identity and have stopped in their journey of life and poetry, more than anywhere else in the home of national identity.
