The book "Sa’edi and committed playwriting in Iran and some other articles" was published
Iran Theater- Gholam-Hossein Dolatabadi’s Five articles in the form of the book "Saedi and Committed Playwrights in Iran and a Few Other Articles" were published by the Yekshanbeh publication.
Gholam-Hossein Dolatabadi, a researcher, university lecturer and translator, whose articles were previously published in "Namayesh" magazine and "Taabel" quarterly, announced the publication of his five new articles in the Yekshanbeh publication.
Gholam-Hossein Dolatabadi said: "Committed literature and its dangers", "Sa’edi and committed playwriting in Iran", "The influence of western comedy shows on the formation and expansion of the intellectual grounds of the constitutional revolution", "The study of the role of the Namayesh monthly in the formation of a critical approach in Iranian theater( 2015 - 2018)" and "Shahin Sarkisian; Fighting with fake history" are the titles of these five articles."
He explained that committed literature created a broad intellectual background in the literature of the late 50s, 60s, and 70s, and is considered a major feature in fiction, poetry, and drama.
"This line of thought has reached Iran from Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.
Committed literature is said to be a literature that avoids the idea of Art for Art's Sake, gives itself dignity and social, political and cultural commitment and not only has true aesthetics but also contains high human concepts. "
Dolatabadi believes that Persian playwriting entered the new era from the late 50s with Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi, Akbar Radi and Ibrahim Makki and was able to be called "committed playwriting".
" Critical literature brings social responsibility, and this is the process that dramatic literature has gone through, except for the path that the Pahlavi II government created to divert this committed literature, and that is (drama workshop). In the article "Sa’edi and committed playwriting in Iran", I want to say that committed literature started with the play "Working with Seals in the trench" written by Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi and then I analyzed it. "
He considered the article "The Influence of Western Comedy Shows on the Formation and Expansion of the Intellectual grounds of the Constitutional Revolution" along with the book "Hidden Laughter" as a product of his PhD dissertation and said: " I considered the influence of western theater in the constitutional revolution in this article. "Study of the role of Namayesh monthly in the formation of critical approach in Iranian theater (2015 - 2018)" is dedicated to Nasrollah Ghadri's editorials in "Namayesh" magazine and works on the theoretical framework of the Frankfurt school. The article "Shahin Sarkisian; Fighting with fake history" also shows how fake historiography caused Sarkisian to be removed from history, but today we see that he was able to engrave his name on the head of the modern Theater.
