Abstract

Various theories have been emerged in the contemporary period in order to analyze literary texts and their relationship with socio-cultural elements. One effective approach for analysis of literary texts is critical discourse analysis. In This Thesis, critical discourse analysis has been chosen based on Norman Fairclough’s method. He analyzes a text in three levels: description, interpretation and explanation. This method is effective in identifying and explaining ideological views of authors and their socio-political opinions and by presenting a new method tries to discover various layers of meaning in a literary work. The present research attempts to analyze novels: "Hamsayeh-ha" (1978) by Ahmad Mahmud, and "Asir-e-Zaman" (captured by Time) (1994) by Esmaeil Fasih. Using the above approach and investigating these two authors’ views as two prominent fiction writers in Iran who played roles in important contemporary socio-political events. Finally, it was found That Mahmud and Fasih held particular views about political, social and cultural developments and criticized Iran’s situation at that time. From the critical discourse perspective, after each novel being investigated, it was found that Mahmud and Fasih opposed the existing discourse by selecting certain words, using historical, mythical, figurative and metaphorical aspects in the structure of each novel.
