A study of Thematic and historical course of obedience research in Persian scientific articles

One of the most important scientific treasures of any country is the collection of short and long articles written by experts in various fields and published in publications. Writing articles in Iran does not have a long history. Before the constitution, most of the research texts were the same contents that were written in tazkires and other books, which of course had no scientific and documented basis. After the constitution, the quality of literary research was transformed and skepticism became common and literary researchers tried to improve the quality of literary research by referring to original works and using criticism techniques. In the field of satire, the first articles written are related to the introduction of Obeid Zakani and humor in his works. And in general, it should be said that the word humor in the sense and meaning of the term that we use today was first used in researches that introduced Obaid Zakani and his special way of expressing Lataif, a way that was used with others. It was different and attention to the element of social criticism is   prominent in them.

In this research, firstly, by using famous Persian websites such as Noormags.ir, Magiran.com, Humanities Comprehensive Portal, Academic Jihad Database (SID.ir) and... articles on the subject of Obeid Zakani. It was found that there are about 71 articles that use the name Obaid Zakani or the word mouse and cat in the title or abstract or keyword. Then, we have classified and analyzed the articles in thematic and historical categories, and the result of the research is shown on the graph. It should be noted that in this research, only scientific articles were examined and counted, and conference articles and books were not considered.

Looking at the researches in the field of humor, we realize that the first researches in this field are about the introduction of Obeid and his works as the most important humorist before the constitution, but with the passage of about a century, scientific and non-scientific articles are still being written about Obeid. The review of articles related to Obeid Zakani provides us with valuable information about the research process in different years, which can be used to observe the interest and scientific level of researchers related to specific topics and approaches of Obeid research in different decades. In addition, it can help researchers in this field to avoid repetitive research and to have better access and familiarity with humorous sources for conducting new research, and to recognize useful and necessary sources from non-useful ones.In this research, we have reviewed the scientific articles related to Obeid zakani that have been written since the beginning until today. Examined the articles in terms of structure and content and divided them into six historical periods and seven subjects of Obeid's humor, Obeid's biography, introduction of works, content and theme, rhetorical and satirical techniques, comparative studies and review of literary theories in Obeid's works; We have reviewed and classified; We have introduced repetitive and useless researches as well as useful and scientific researches and have shown the historical course of articles in different decades. Studies show that in the first years, the subject of the articles is often the introduction of Obeid Zakani and Obeid's social satire and introduction of his works. These articles mostly have a descriptive approach and have little benefit from analysis and reasoning. The language of the articles is often literary; Writers tend to write essays and generalize and do not go into details. In the sixties, only one article was written, which is better in terms of quality than the articles of the previous period. In the 1970s, in addition to dealing with Obeid's life and satire, Obeid's works were introduced and compared and compared with the works of others such as Hafez and Yaghmai Jandaghi. is not. In the seventies, the subject of most of the articles is the introduction of Obaid's works, and the articles still have a descriptive approach and do not deal with specific analysis. In terms of structure, they lack a scientific structure in the modern sense. Mohammad Jaafar Mahjoub is the most important researcher of this period, in the field of introduction of Obeid's works and its manuscripts, who contributed to a better and more scientific understanding of Obeid Zakani and his works with his articles. His articles are among the most influential articles in the field of Obed studies. In the 1980s, scientific articles grew significantly in terms of content and structure, and diverse and new topics such as comparative studies, studies of children's and adolescent literature, and literary theories were also effective in looking at Obeid's works in a new way, but these articles were written by beginners and They often lack analyzes and arguments and presentation of scientific statistics.

Conclusion :

 Most of the articles in the field of Obed studies were written in the 1990s, and in terms of quality, these articles have a variety of topics and scientific structures, and have more analytical power than previous articles. However, they have weaknesses, such as: not mastering the theories and examining Obeid's works based on literary theories, not providing accurate statistics on the amount of use of satirical techniques, great importance on the structure of the article and its stereotyping, and less attention to the content, arguments, and analyzes Scientific. After the 1990s, the most articles in the field of Obed studies were written in the 1970s. Although the articles of the eighties are less than the articles of the seventies; In terms of the quality and diversity of the subject, they have a more scientific structure and content than the previous articles. With all this, it is suggested that researchers in the field of Obed studies, by limiting the scope of research and focusing on details and using statistics and citing scientific sources and data, master the modern methods of comparative research and literary theories, pay more attention to analytical and argumentative aspects, to Help improve the scientific level of articles.
