Abstract
“Collective mobilization” is one of the most widely used models in the field of contemporary political sociology, which makes it possible to study and analyze the internal mechanisms governing social movements, revolutions, and political unrest. In the present study, the narrative of “Birds of the World” in Manṭeq-al-Tayr as well as the story of “Torquate Pigeon” in Kalile-va-Demneh are successful instances of collective action and mobilization in classical Persian literature aimed at restructuring the status quo. Therefore, it is necessary to study the quantitative and qualitative variables governing their internal organization. The application of indicators such as the principle of wise actor, the principle of public relations, the principle of structure of collective action, the principle of quantitative and qualitative coherence, and the principle of motivations and behavioral patterns, etc. reveal the structural complexity of such collective actions. In this article, an attempt is made to study the internal mechanisms governing the two narratives using qualitative comparative analysis to assess the degree of coherence as well as the explanatory and interpretive capacities of each story.
