Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is one of the methods of qualitative analysis that teaches us that there are hidden meanings behind the text. Otherness, backgrounding, and foregrounding are among the methods used by text creators; to marginalize the competitor's discourse and emphasize the insider's discourse instead. Nasser Khosrow is one of those who have benefited from this method. He has alienated and marginalized the clergymen of the rival discourse and highlighted his own discourse, which is Fatimid Shiism. The descriptive-analytical article information classification method and its analysis method is Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method and Laclau and Mouffe's socio-political discourse analysis method. After examining Nasser Khosrow's poems in three levels of description, interpretation and explanation, we reached these results: At the level of description, Nasser Khosrow has used the methods of eliminating competing discourses, satire, depersonalization, pronoun opposition, good interpretation, described limitation, and mythmaking. At the level of interpretation, we can point to religious conflicts and negative attitudes towards Ismailis. At the level of explanation, according to Nasser Khosrow's mission to promote the Ismaili religion, he has tried to marginalize hypocrisy, determinism and other anomalies of his society and replace them with his own discourse signs such as wisdom, knowledge, etc.
