A sociological critique of the novel "Paeiz Fasle Akhare Sal Ast" using the developmental structuralist critical approach

In this paper, the novel "Paeiz Fasle Akhare Sal Ast" by Nasim Marashi is analyzed by using Lucien Goldmann's developmental structuralist approach. One of the approaches of criticizing the literary works is the developmental structuralist approach in which the dialectical relations of the literary work's structure and the social structure that the work has been developed within it are analyzed; Therefore, the approach, structure and content of the literary work, writer's mentality and the worldview of a class that the writer represents and its relation to the structure of the society in which the work has been developed are analyzed. The main question of this study is whether there is a structural equivalence and dialectical relationship between the structure of the Marashi's novel and the objective structure of society during its development? This article has been based on the explanation of these mutual relations and the findings of the study have shown that according to the theory of Goldmann, Marashi has succeeded in creating a work in which there is a stability equivalence, and this structural equivalence along with the dialectical relations of the related discursive components have turned his novel into an original work .
