Abstract

In recent periods, Reader-Response criticism has challenged traditional and author-centered criticism, and by giving importance to the reader's position, it has changed its absolutist approach to a relativistic one. Wolfgang Iser believes that each reader obtains a new meaning from the text, which indicates the relative nature of meaning. He turns reading fiction into an activity that results in the formation of "literary text" as a phenomenological structure in the reader's mind. In contemporary Iran and under the influence of the imposed war, many texts have addressed the issue of war,among them, the widely read novel "Chess with Doomsday Machine" by Habib Ahmadzadeh, with its new and different approach and perspective, has managed to gain a good position in this field. The present study examines the relativism of war discourse in this novel based on Wolfgang Iser's theory of Reader-Response criticism and shows that the discourse of the novel, which is the result of the interaction between the text and the reader, is interactive and relativistic. The findings of this research show that although one side of this novel presents a jihad-oriented discourse, the other side cultivates a revisionist discourse that wants the reader to look at the war from a new perspective. In addition, the novel succeeds in attracting the reader and interacting with him, and the reader can fill in the empty spaces of the text, which are often hidden, by reasoning and inferring
