Abstract

The Islamic Revolution, as a cultural and social revolution, gave rise to a new identity in Iran, which can be seen in the literature of the Islamic Revolution, which reflects the beliefs and aspirations of the revolution. In this research, using the content analysis method, the components of Iranian national identity approved by the Cultural Council have been examined in short stories of sacred defense (selected works of Youssef's literary prize 5 to 7). The results show that the authors of these three collections have reflected all components of national identity with a nostalgic and positive attitude, with the highest frequency being related to the Persian language component, especially the metaphors and corrections, and then to the component. History and civilization are especially customs and beliefs. Also, the component of the land of Iran, especially the geography and the component of Islam based on the Qur'an and the motives of the Ahlul-Bayt (AS) and the spirit of spirituality and monotheism are in the next ranks. Less attention has been paid to the two components of Mahdism and Provincialism. Among the three most important collections in the field of national identity were Yosef Five, which indicates that most of the authors of the series adhere to the Supreme Leader's guidelines and indicators of national identity, and the weakest is Yosef Six. Also, the religious color and smell of Yusuf Five to Yusuf Seven declined, and on the contrary, the national and local color.
