Abstract

1. Introduction: As an alert and sensitive observer, the artist shows different reactions to the issue of war within different contexts and conditions. These reactions have obvious and fundamental differences during the war or post-war period. Recognizing various contexts and their effects in different conditions is critical in the study of art associated with war. Gheisar Aminpour's poems-as one of the most prominent figures of the holy defense literature-are among the best examples of Persian Resistance literature. His poems were associated with war not only during the battle, but also at the time of peace. As an aware and responsible poet, he has always been concerned on the issue of war. During the war, Aminpour was a pioneer Persian poet in encouraging people to participate in expelling the occupier of the country, and was at the forefront of the struggle. Also, after the war, he continued to write about the psychological and moral consequences of war. In Gheisar Aminpour's artistic career, the issue of war has a special and significant place. This study seeks to examine Aminpour's approach to the issue of war based on the proposed research model. The influence of different contexts and conditions of his view and approach toward war can be considered in his poems. Based on this, the differences in approaches to a single issue are clearly visible. 2. Methodology: In this article, based on the proposed model, the poems of Gheisar Aminpour have been studied with using the library research method. At first, Gheisar Aminpour's poems about war were identified, then based on the internal discourse of the poems, they were examined and divided into the suggested categories in the research model. 3. Discussion: In art as a model in poetry, there are three approaches to the issue of war. These approaches are named 'Encouraging pole', 'analytic pole', and a 'transition stage' between them. Art related to war is mainly shifting between two poles, i. e., Encouraging pole and Analytical pole. Each of these poles has its own temporal and textual requirements and characteristics. It may be that when one pole is more popular, standing on the opposite pole seems unjustified and unacceptable. The encouragement pole focuses on encouraging and describing the strength of local soldiers and weakening and destroying the enemy forces. The artist's goal at the encourage pole is to identical ambitions (religious and national) motivations to provide spiritual and humanbased support for the war fronts. The artist in the Encouraging pole tries to create a paradoxical image of both sides of the battle by recalling the national, religious and ethnic greatness, and by collecting all the good in one side and all the wrong in the other side; he encourages the warriors of his own front and destroys the warriors of the opposite front. In this situation, self-sacrifice, revenge, salvation of identity, conflict between good and evil, and the value of martyrdom are promoted. But, on the Analytical pole artist tells about the sinister essence of war. The darkness and bloodshed of war is disgusting. With the end of the war, the excitements and passions gradually subside, and the man seeks the war itself as a devil, not his human enemies. As long as the devil of war is alive, it will find an army from the human body and will commit atrocities. With the advent of war, the function of the Encouraging pole declines and people's thoughts focus on why the war happened. Under these conditions, the dual logic of angel / devil loses its former function and justification. On the Analytical pole, war is seen as a great calamity that affects both sides of the battle. The opposite corps are human beings like our warriors, infallible human beings who have been deceived by the demons of war-or its earthly symbols-and have even come to the battlefield by force and reluctance. Whoever is killed, the devil of the war beats the goddess of the peace. On this pole, it seems that there is some empathy and attempt to analyze how we can remove war. The Analytical pole is poetry of the peacetime. If someone says and sings like this during the war, he may be accused of collaboration with the enemy and betrayal. However, even in peacetime, war poets often shift from the encouraging to the Analytical pole. There is an intermediate stage between these two poles, the stage where the poet of war moves from the pole of encouragement to the pole of analysis. Traveling from epic to emotional is sometimes difficult. This 'transitional stage' represents an identity conflict between a 'me as warrior' and 'me as citizen', and creates nostalgia for wartime values. In this situation, those who are closer to the one pole may accuse people who are closer to the other pole as warlike or forgetful people. This situation is a kind of confrontation between social forces. 4. Conclusion: Aminpour was a talented poet who used his art to advance the goals of the imposed war. Not only during the war, but also after that, he was preoccupied with the days of war and tried to keep violence out of life. Gheisar Aminpour, as a leading poet and a suitable model, contributed to the growth of the poetry of the Holy Defense and accompanied the war with his pen. Art's response to war involves three approaches that can be modeled by two poles and an axis between them. Encouraging pole and Analytical pole are on either side of this axis. The further we go from the beginning of the war, the more we move from the Encouraging pole to the Analytical pole. Countless points on the axis can also be imagined, based on distance and proximity to the poles. However, near the peace time, it is usually conceivable that an important area is referred to in this article as the 'transition phase'. The Encouraging pole focuses on the motivation of the warriors and an epic approach, the Analytical pole, however, focuses on the reason behind the war and the moral approach, and the transition phase is related to the confrontation of forces close to the two poles on the issue of war. All these three approaches of war poetry can be seen in the works of Aminpour. Under the fire of war, he is engaged in strengthening the morale of the warriors and inviting his compatriots to fight and sacrifice, and after the fire, he analyzes the war and the enmity with this ominous issue. The transition between these two poles can also be seen in Aminpour's poems. What makes these three approaches stand out in Gheisar's poetry is his constant attention to the issue of war, attachment and commitment to the Holy Defense, and the change in context over time and living in different conditions.
