Abstract

Mystical biography is a form of mystical writing that has organized narratives about mystical subjects from the narrative point of view with two propositionalexplanatory and narrative aspects and from the discourse point of view by modeling and legitimizing mystical subjects. Of course, in spite of sharing in the literary genre or following the common narrative tradition, the construction of the narrative and discourse of the memoirs differs from the concept of identityclass according to the author-narrators' special perception. In this article, the authors-narrators of the two mystical collective biographies, the classes of Ansari Sufism and the biography of Attar's saints, are defined and interpreted from the concept of identity-class and the epistemological and ideological underpinnings that organize them. The result shows that the author-narrator of the Sufi classes, following the tradition of collecting hadith and emphasizing the rigid reality in explaining the identity-class of the subjects of his representation, relied more on the pre-established elements of their identity, it has largely avoided explaining a lifestyle based on taste and consumption. In addition, in the continuity of the text, it devotes a considerable part of the textual space to the explanation of mystical concepts or prayers. In contrast to the author-narrator of Tazkereh al-Awliya, according to the tendency to romantic and reckless mysticism, attachment to madness is made with full openness, aspects of the elements that make up taste and consumption of subjects such as speech, nutrition, clothing, worship and rituals, represents relationships and assets. However, Ansari's conception of the concept of identity-class, in line with the old tradition of refusing to represent the individual and his body, has disappeared,the representation of subjects serves to explain mystical concepts, while Attar's writing serves to typify romantic mysticism by expanding the tradition of memoir writing, an act that often reveals aspects of the subjects' daily lives.
