Language Deconstructed in a Poststructuralist Reading and the Analysis of its Elements and Hierarchies (Case Studies: Vibration Poetry (She‘r-e Erte‘āsh), Typo-Poetry (Tara- She‘r), and Digital Poetry)

This research adopts a language-centered approach and relies on a hybrid inferential framework to analyze the linguistic mechanisms in emergent genres of Persian poetry during the 1380s and 1390s (2001-2021). It aims to demonstrate how language in these genres moves beyond a mere representational role to become a field for the production of meaning and difference. Situated within post-structuralist discourse, the theoretical framework synthesizes insights from Benveniste (language as action), Greimas (deep semantic structures), Eagleton (language and ideology), and Derrida (deconstruction and deferral of meaning).

This integrated approach investigates the transformation of syntactic, lexical, and discursive relations within these poems. The research corpus comprises three poetic genres: “Erteash” (Vibration), “Tarāsher” (Typo-Poetry), and “Digital Poetry,” all analyzed from a deconstructive linguistic perspective. This theoretical synthesis reveals that in these emergent genres, language evades syntactic and semantic centrality, distancing itself from its representational function to become a self-referential, fluid, and decentered practice. The binary oppositional system collapses, and meaning is constituted through the processes of deferral, difference, and the play of signs. These findings support the argument that contemporary Persian poetry, from the 1380s (2000s) onward, has aligned itself with postmodern logic at the linguistic level, moving towards a form of linguistic self-awareness. Consequently, the hybrid inferential framework employed in this study offers a layered perspective on the evolution of syntactic, lexical, and discursive relationships in contemporary Persian poetry, serving as a valuable analytical model for the study of other novel poetic forms.
