Iran as the other; A different reading of Nizami’s Khosrow and Shirin in the play of Farhad and Shirin by Samad Vurgun

Abstract:   (2080 Views)
In the play Farhad and Shirin, the Azerbaijani poet and writer Samad Vurgun has recounted the poem of Khosrow and Shirin in a way contrary to Nizami Ganjavi's intentions. In his work, he tried to create a self and the other divide. Iranians are portrayed as a threatening enemy of the lands beyond Aras and an intractable enmity between the two sides is imagined. In agreement with the communist politicians, Vurgun sought to prepare an independent identity for the newly established Republic of Azerbaijan; in a way that did not overlap with Iranian and Ottoman cultural commonalities. The current research, which is carried out in a descriptive-analytical way, tries to answer the question, how did Vurgun describe the self and the other and what methods did he employ to determine and embody the cultural identity of the Caucasus? The author of this play described Iranians as people with negative aspects such as raping, kidnapping, killing parents, lying, etc. and instead, attributed all the positive qualities to the people of Barda District. On the other hand, the introduction of Shirin and Farhad as lovers from Azerbaijan and the creation of a character named Azarbaba have been part of the strategies to promote the new identity of the Caucasus.

 
Keywords: Farhad and Shirin, Nizami, Vurgun, The Other, Iranism, Azerbaijan's new identity.
