The tradition of mystic biography writing, with the writing of two forms of collective and personal identification, is the continuation of Islamic historiography, which uses the tradition of documenting and objectifying the science of hadith to validate itself and creates facts about mystics or mystics. From an epistemological point of view, the construction of the mentioned reality is the result of the selection and selection of the author-narrator or narrators who represent it based on special epistemology or ideological attachments. This point is especially noticeable in personal ID cards due to the density of events and details. One of these tazkirahs is Manaqib al-Arifin Aflaki, which was written about Mowlavi and his entourage. In this article, the narrativediscursive validity of the reality created by Aflaki in representing the events of Mowlvi's life has been implied and interpreted in a descriptive-analytical way. The theoretical basis of the research is the opinions of some experts in social semiotics and critical discourse analysis, whose implications have been explained from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. The result showed that the author-narrator documents and believable from a quantitative point of view some of his created facts by using the four modality categories of numbers, emphasis, narrative frequency and narrative continuity with high causality. From a qualitative point of view, first of all, based on relying on the narrator-focusing cognitive tools, such as the sense of sight, hearing and touch, which indicate the perceiver's "here" and "now", some other events are objective and tangible. Then, with legitimizing methods such as referring to the holy system, referring to the Sunnah, rationalizing and exaggerating another part of them, it is documented and real. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book Asrar al-Tawhid is a mystical work in which social agents are represented in different ways. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the discourse of this book based on Van Leeuwen's model relying on the descriptive-analytical method. Preliminary results of the study indicate that in this work, Abu Saeed Abu al-Khair is introduced as a dynamic and effective force through activation. The highest frequency of writing after Abu Saeed Abu al- Khair is related to Khajeh Hassan Modab, the special agent of Abu Saeed and Abolghasem Qashiri. It is obvious that the frequency of naming this prestigious figure due to his final inclination towards Abu Sa'id has had a tremendous impact on the image and spiritual legitimacy of Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khair. In Asrar al-Tawhid, the highest frequency of groups is related to Sufi elders, dervishes, and disciples, all of whom belong to their own group and to the sect-oriented discourse. In the non-identification section, it was found that the identities of anonymous agents were not important in propagating the method-oriented discourse. However, what matters is what they do. The actions of these anonymous agents always have a similar and effective function in expressing the author’s mystical views, which often include observing and perceiving the greatness and importance of the spiritual personality of Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khair. In the book Asrar al-Tawhid, the humanization of animals has an ideological burden, because the presence of these wild animals is one of the virtues of Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khair to be a sign of his legitimacy, consolidation of power, and truth. From the point of view of the deletion component, it was proved that parts of Abu Sa'id's knowledge include the category of fading, since the producer of discourse in this work, like other seekers, is obliged to refrain from revealing the secrets of God and not to share the secret of truth except with the people of truth.

The critics and those who study contemporary poems recognize the world of poetry and its poetics through its title. The title functions as an entry for the poem. Generally, the title has a prominent place in reading poems, enjoying the pleasure of literature, and receiving the theme. Focusing on this element leads to both knowing the status of the poet and drawing the co-ordinates and finally explaining and understanding his poetry. The category of title in modern Persian poetry is completely different from traditional and pre-existing poetry. In contemporary poetry, the title is not only for the naming but also has other tasks in terms of aesthetics, artistic, and semantic perspective. Choosing the title of the poem, on the one hand, provides the audience with a deep perception of the content while and on the other hand, after reading the poem as a compound, it helps the audience expand the semantic domain. The title can also be considered as the identity card of the poem. Manouchehr Atashi, like many poets and critical writers of his time, believes that fundamental changes in modern poetry are not limited to issues such as the meter, rhyme, theme but extends to other dimensions one of which is the selection of titles. He is a poet who has highlighted the focus on the title in contemporary Persian poetry as a necessity in terms of structure, concept, and aesthetics. By focusing on the title of the poetry, this contemporary poet has shown that making fundamental changes in poetry can be a signature, not necessarily a founding. The basis and meaning of the signature are that the poet can consider a new attitude without destroying the capacities and contents of traditional poetry, relying on some of its possibilities. In most of Atashi's poems, a tangible and meaningful relationship can be observed between the title and the text. The relationship between the titles of the collection is more based on their relationship from the perspective of the structure of components and multi-component compositions than can be seen from a semantic point of view. In addition, the predominant aspect of the poet's tendency from this perspective is towards nature and the southern climate. In poems that have no title, this element appers as a tool to expand the semantic range. The use of titles such as indicative sentences, written signs, uncomplete sentences, English sentences, etc. in harmony with the content shows the poet's view of the influential place of the title in the structure. Finally, looking at the poet's etymology, we understand well why the absence of the title does not cause a defect in traditional poetry, such as the sonnet, but many contemporary poems are entirely dependent on the existence of this component in such a way that their change could have a direct impact on the meaning and basis of poems. There seems to be a dirth of research pertaining to the subject of "title". Also, the samples for studies in the field of title do not meet the needs of the audience. Paying attention to this issue could open a new window for critics and enthusiasts to better understand this poet. The purpose of this research is to focus on four collections of Manouchehr Atashi poems: Other Song, Soil Song, Accident in the Morning, and the Last Event and show the importance of choosing titles and their dependence on the text, initiative, and creativity in choosing the title. The results show how the contemporary modern poet is well aware of the function and effect of the title of the poem and uses it as a tool to expand the semantic range of poems and instill the concepts of an audience as well as creating an impact.
