Analyzing the Image of Iran in the Creation of Innovative Ideas by Mohammad Mehdi Javaheri

Introduction: In contemporary times, there are common areas and intellectual, political, religious and historical proximity between the two nations of Iran and Iraq; cultural influence and impact has occurred more than in the past in these two countries. In this regard, Mohammad Mehdi Javaheri (1900-1997) is one of the most influential literary figures who has made a great contribution to the advancement of science and literature. Javaheri's concern for the culture and civilization of other nations is one of the most prominent features of his poems. Javaheri's studies were not limited to Arabic literature, but the poet's scientific and literary outlook led him to study the culture and literature of other nations. But the important issue is how Javaheri's style of expression and innovation is in presenting the purpose and the impact and consequences that Javaheri's poems about Iran have had. In these poems, he introduced Iran, its culture and civilization by using various aesthetic methods. His different language and detailed descriptions in the details of the description created problems for him, such that he was accused of being Iranian and a chauvinist (Gibran, Suleiman, 2003: 33). Therefore, analyzing Javaheri's works in this area and discovering his linguistic techniques in introducing Iran is important. Now the question is: What linguistic and aesthetic techniques did Javaheri use to present the image of Iran? What innovations did Javaheri achieve in his poems about Iran?

Methodology: The present study, relying on formalistic criticism and a descriptive-analytical approach, has attempted to examine the linguistic and content of Javaheri's poems about Iran in order to understand the role of various cultural, literary, historical elements, and natural manifestations of Iran in Javaheri's linguistic and artistic creations and innovation in creating his desired works.

Results and discussion: The influence of Iran’s natural features is evident in Javaheri’s poetic spirit. In Javaheri’s view, Iran, with its beautiful nature, is a civilized country with an ancient history that has nurtured many scholars and is saturated with the spirit of Hafez, Sadi, Khayyam, Ferdowsi, Nezami, Arif, and Iraj. Javaheri’s poems show that he was fascinated by Iranian nature. In describing the natural landscapes of Iran, he paid attention to details and presented his purpose in flowing sentences so that the transfer of concepts can be easily done; hence, the reader easily reaches the ideologies of the text. He depicted his thoughts about the places of Iran so beautifully and with his true emotion that it was as if he belonged to that place, so much so that he was accused of being Iranian and a chauvinist. In these poems, Javaheri combined several styles and techniques and did not limit himself to fixed structures. The variety in repetition and news and essay sentences, the use of ancient words and the resurrection of words, indicate that he tried to present a beautiful image of Iran in accordance with the content, attracting the attention of the audience and arousing their feelings and emotions, with various techniques. After entering Iran, he embellished his poems more and more with literary and rhetorical techniques, in such a way that his poems are considered special at this time, because Javaheri was able to suddenly change the mentality of people who had known him as a political and social poet until then.

Conclusion: Javaheri's poems about Iran are an example of his poetic experience, with diverse linguistic techniques. He has acted intelligently in presenting his inner thoughts about Iran and has beautifully embodied his views in expressive and linguistic methods. The content of Javaheri's poems about Iran evokes the mutual connection between this land and Iraq for the reader and is closely related to history, literature, society, culture, politics, religious teachings and even natural beauties. By depicting the natural, cultural, literary, scientific and historical symbols of Iran and by highlighting the textual messages in the form of prominent phrases mixed with literary and aesthetic industries, Javaheri aims to introduce Iran as a civilized country; guide the audience's mind to the inner messages of the text and make them reflect more on this ancient land, in addition to preserving the literary nature of the ode. By presenting such a method, he has brought about a new form of expression and an upgrade to his poems. Javaheri has taken an effective step in the cultural and literary fusion between the two countries of Iran and Iraq. The image that Javaheri presents of Iran is a completely realistic one. His view of Iran is more of a non-political view. He has given more value to the cultural, historical, civilizational, and literary dimensions of Iran.
