Abstract: (2028 Views) |
| Fotowat as a powerful subculture in the span of Iranian civilization has created many discourses throughout the history. An examination of the original sources and texts of Fotowat shows that Shiite views and elements, in addition to creating a special kind of Fotowat as a Shiite discourse, have also profoundly influenced the other currents and discourses of this subculture. This article adopts a qualitative content analysis method in examining the ancient and original sources of Fotowat, to answer the question of "How well the components of Fotowat discourse such as the ideal-Shiite subculture are represented in the written texts and the socio-historical context?". The findings of the research show that the Shiite aspect of Fotowat has been manifested in the three axes of sanctification of spiritual guide, spiritual pole and the manifestation of a perfect human in the image of Imam Ali (AS); justice and anti-oppression; as well as the advocacy and defense of the weak and protection of morality in social life and urban environment under the name of heroic character. |
