Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is a long story of heroic deeds in which the desire for power arising from "greed" and " avarice" is considered to be the root of many wars. But the examination of the causes of belligerence in the Shahnameh shows that many wars can be rooted in reasons other than greed. In this research, which was carried out with the aim of better understanding the role of power-seeking in the wars of Shahnameh the wrestlers dynasties, in a descriptive-analytical way and based on the theory of critical discourse analysis of Fairclough, to examine the discourse of power in the dynasties. Shahnameh was discussed and an attempt was made to answer this basic question: What is the most important component of power discourse in the wrestlers Shahnameh families? For this purpose, the power-seeking discourses of a number of wrestlers dynasties in the Shahnameh, including: Garshasbians and Turanians, Garshasbians and Keyanians, Gudarzians and Nozarians, Sasanians and Ashkanians, and Keshwadegans and Visegans, were examined. The result of this research shows that the desire for power in the wrestlers families of the Shahnameh can be placed in the three main discourses of the struggle between innovation and tradition, social class and hatred, and in twenty-two sub-discourses in order of importance. that small talk is the most important of them. Introduction Desire for power as one of the human characteristics has always been a place of reflection and analysis, it has been paid attention to from the perspective of various theories and sciences. Literature is also not exempt from this issue, either because of the narrative of power-seeking in literary works or because researchers in this field deal with the category of power and language, especially because some literary genres such as epics are based on confrontation and conflicts between prominent people or those in power. British linguist Norman Fairclough (1941) is one of the most prominent researchers who paid attention to the issue of power and language and founded the famous theory of "critical discourse". Discourse analysis, as one of the foundations of linguistics, looks at a level beyond the structure of sentences, and critical discourse analysis also pays attention to the relationship between discourse and social and cultural events. Such an approach helps to understand better and more of the metatextual factors that are in the heart of a literary work and in fact in the back thought of its creator. In his critical speech, Fairclough has emphasized that "it is not possible to understand the meaning of the text only, and to do this, one must also look at the social and historical intertextual layers" (Fairclough, 1992: 56). The Shahnameh, as the most important and the greatest epic work in Persian literature, is a good example to observe the desire for power and its possession, although this feature is not negative in itself, and the absence of such a desire is surprising, but sometimes the underlying factors or results The bitterness resulting from it is the focus of some tragic stories in the Shahnameh and is naturally a source for discussion and thought about the issue of power. athletics and athletics families after their formation in the era of King Jamshid, wherever there is a need; Guardian of the country and for the kings in many cases they are sufficient advisers and counselors. "Although the epic is the story of supermen and mostly revolves around kings, the main burden of its events is on the shoulders of brave men and heroes who have no other goal than the glory of the country and think only of name and dishonor" (Rashed Mohassel, 2010: 147). Therefore, due to the important position they have in the course of Shahnameh stories, the heroes play an irreplaceable role in power relations and related events, and critical discourse analysis can better understand this important class and related events. He helped them. In the Shahnameh, Ferdowsi mentions the demon Greed and introduces it as the destroyer of wisdom and the cause of human misery. According to the verses in the Shahnameh, temptation is the most important cause of conflict between people and the reason for not knowing their own and others' rights. Ferdowsi emphasizes on avoiding demons and introduces them as the cause of closing the eyes of the mind and as a result of darkness and darkness of people. "After Evil Spirit, Greed is the most powerful demon in Zartoshti religion and also in the Shahnameh, it is the source of many bitternesses and causes of bloodshed and belligerence" (Shajari, 2010:79). Considering the principle of wisdom and prudence, which is one of the basic pillars of the Shahnameh, in Arena Shahnameh, we see many examples of the plight of the warriors and the families of the warriors in the clutches of Greed, which caused the sufferings and wars of the Household. It is But in addition to Greed, other factors have had a significant impact on the formation of war and conflict between the warriors and the warrior families, including in the story of Rostam and Sohrab (Zal and Turanian families), Rostam and Esfandiar (Zal and Kianian families), Gudarz and Tous (Gudarzians and Nozarians), Gudarzians and Visegans, Sasanians and Ashkanians, who, in order to find these components, based on Fairclough discourse theory of power, examine them in two major sections, discourses and sub-discourses. to be In this research, an attempt has been made to answer the following basic questions based on Fairclough critical discourse: 1- What were the main causes of the power-seeking of some wrestlers and wrestler families besides Greed? 2- What is the most important element raised in the stories of Shahnameh in terms of power discourse? 3- Which of the stories of the Shahnameh is at a higher level from the point of view of the discourse of power? These questions are interesting from the point of view that most of the researches about power-seeking and the conflicts related to the warriors in the stories of the Shahnameh have been descriptive and the metatextual factors raised by Fairclough have received less attention. is placed. Research Method The method of conducting this research is descriptive-analytical and based on the theory of " Fairclough Power Discourse", which is one of the most interesting theories in this matter. The basic version, Ferdowsi's Shahnameh (2014), is completely creative. Since in the limited volume of the article, it was not possible to examine all the athletic families of the Shahnameh based on this theory, in this research the most important athletic families of the Shahnameh are: Garshasbians and Turanians, Garshasbians and Keyanians, Gudarzians and Nozarians. Sasanians and Ashkanians, and Geshvadegan and Visegans were examined at two levels: macro-discourses and sub-discourses. It should be mentioned that the sub-discussions are arranged based on the findings of each of the stories examined in the Shahnameh. Discussion Fairclough theory of critical discourse analysis, with three components of language, ideology and power, expresses the internal and external relationship of the text, and the application of this perspective in understanding texts, especially literary texts, with regard to the hidden layers of meaning they have, plays a role. It is significant. Fairclough defines discourse as "a countable noun, the use of language in different social fields (media discourse, political discourse, academic discourse) or ways of representing the world from a specific perspective (gender discourse, racism discourse, etc.) refers (Zomorrodi and Islami, 209:2022). Fairclough emphasizes ideology and power in critical discourse analysis. In his opinion, ideology is a tool for creating and maintaining power relations in society" (Kalantari, 2013:22). Here, the author's desire for power in connection with ideology among some warriors and warrior families in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh will be analyzed and analyzed based on the theory of Fairclough critical discourse. Fairclough states in the book (Critical Analysis of Discourse, pp. 21-60): My article has a dialectical approach to the relationship between structure and action, but its emphasis is on the determination of action by means of structures, social reproduction, and the ideological position of actors, and it is one of the characteristics of Another feature of this article is that it focuses on social class in the discussion of power (Fairclough, 1992:21). In his article, he argues that the regularity of interactions depends to some extent on naturalized ideologies, and the denaturalization of these ideologies is the goal of that type of discourse analysis that has critical goals. To achieve such a goal, we need a general explanatory framework (macro/micro). The theoretical foundations of the critical approach are based on the view that there is a link between micro-events and macro-structures in such a way that macro-structures include the conditions for the realization of micro-events on the one hand and their results on the other hand, in other words, they cause the conflict of forces. Ideological barriers may be created between them and ideological struggle is a part of this conflict (Fairclough, 1992:55). According to the components proposed by Fairclough, the discourse of power extracted from the Shahnameh is divided into three main discourses: conflict between modernity and tradition, social class, and grudge, and each discourse is categorized into other sub-discourses. which is analyzed in several stories of Shahnameh. Conclusion The results of the studies conducted on the power-seeking of some warriors and warrior families in the Shahnameh based on Fairclough theory of power discourse, indicate that three main discourses: the struggle between innovation and tradition, social class and hatred, cause The power-seeking trend of the wrestlers and their families has come about. Also, among the sub-discourses forming these stories, there are some sub-discourses in the form of self-contradiction and the sub-discourse of resentment is repeated more often than others. During the struggle for power between the warriors and their families, small talk played the most important role in the structure of the stories. Also, the story of Rostam and Esfandiar, which is referred to as the story of stories, by being in the main discourse in the Shahnameh, which is the conflict between Renewal and Tradition, and also by having the largest number of sub-discourses (nine cases where freedom against unquestioning obedience, which is the most important sub-discourse), is placed at a higher level from the point of view of discourse.
