Critical Stylistics of the Abshouran story Collection by Ali Ashraf Darvishian

By analyzing the different layers of the text, critical stylistics seeks to identify hidden concepts beneath the surface of the language and to discover the ideology that governs it and the networks of power in the text. Given that the Dervishian are ideological, protesting, and critical writers of the time, understanding the ideologies and, consequently, the social, economic, and cultural disorders of his day is of great importance among his works. The present study was done with a critical stylistic approach and in a layered manner using descriptive-analytical and statistical methods; It seeks to answer these questions: First, what are the most obvious stylistic features of Ali Ashraf Darvishian's stories with regard to layered stylistics? What is the hidden ideology of the hypertext of Dervishian stories? And how are power relations manifested in the stories of Ali Ashraf Darvishian? The results of this study indicate that the most prominent feature of the style of Darvishian's stories is the application of the element of the centralization and the author's ideology includes "fight against poverty", "fight against ignorance", "fight against injustice" and "fight against tradition". Also, as can be seen from the Darvishian stories and looking at Michel Foucault's definition of power, it can be said that power in this series of stories is a chain, complex and layered category at all levels of society.
