Abstract: (6905 Views)
Sociological literary theory, due to the past tradition of attention to
affect and affected, has enjoyed particular attention in Iran compared to other types of literary theories. And in the study of Persian literature, especially novel, much of the literary researches have been done with this approach .
Philosophical origins of these theories and viewpoints of theorists of this school that often influenced by Marxist theories, in many cases, are inconsistent with Persian literature and since taken from other society with distinct thoughts, opinions and transition, often could not establish deep connections between affects and affected
of literature with social problems in Iran.
With a description of philosophical and sociological origins of this theory, the paper applies it in literary researches of pathology. This study includes: substantial differences in the formation of the novel in the West with Persian novel, inconsistent principle of this theory with principle of Iranian thought and culture, the lack of precise definitions of certain terms in this theory, the absence of coordination between some of the main topics of texts and literary theory, that utmost caused confusion of two different discussions i.e.
societies in literature and sociological literary theory. The consequence of this situation is inability of sociological literary researches in order to find social samples in literature, regardless of the basis of this theory.
