Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The scholarly examination of Mohammad-Taqi Bahar"s poetic legacy has often oscillated between purely textual and purely historical approaches. This study moves beyond this dichotomy by analyzing the mechanisms of discursive agency in Bahar"s poetry, focusing on its dynamic interaction with the historical context of Iran"s Constitutional Era, through the theoretical lens of New Historicism.
METHODOLOGY: Employing a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the principles of New Historicism, this research collected its data through library research and content analysis of Bahar"s Divan (collection of poems). The data were analyzed based on three key components: tracing discursive exchanges, dissecting intra-textual confrontations, and reviving marginalized narratives.
FINDINGS: The findings reveal that Bahar"s poems, through their conscious representation of marginalized narratives, are not merely passive instruments of dominant discourses. Instead, by creating alternative discourses, strengthening a sense of social agency, and fostering spaces for civil resistance, they play an active and progressive role in the formation of political socialization during a critical historical juncture.
CONCLUSION: Bahar"s poetry functions as an active form of "cultural energy." It is simultaneously a reflection of the complex conditions of the Constitutional Era and an influential factor in shaping the historical consciousness and social discourses of that period. This study provides an analytical model for examining other literary-historical texts within the framework of New Historicism.
