Description
Summary:With a heritage of more than a thousand years, the boundaries’ extensions of Persian Literature cover a wide range of themes, discourses, cases and historical events. It is the collage of identities of various religions, nationalities. This literature has some close connections and relations with Kurdish society thus it owns many different images about the Kurdish race, its culture and language. The focus in this paper is on the Kurdish image inside the classical Persian poetry from the Fourth till the thirteenth century of Hijri calendar. By the term of Persian literature, we mean those stock of poems which are written by Persian poets and others. Both textual representation and stereotype are adopted as this paper’s methodology. The final results show that the images of Kurds in classical Persian poetry are divided into two groups.: first, the main and common meaning of Kurds as an ethnic community, which includes three images, positively, negatively and without evaluation. Second, the implied meaning as a desert dweller and a shepherd, which has brought with it the meanings of the ignorant, the thief and the bandit. Some of the negative images, like fossils, lasted for centuries and reproduced many times. It should be noted that most of these images have taken into account the implied meaning of the mentioned word.
