Abstract The main aim of this paper is formulating a theoretical framework, by getting help from Weber’s approach, to apply it while studying the comparative historical sociology of Iranian society. In the first part of the paper, it is attempted to have a selective review of the theoretical perspective of Max Weber.  In this review, in addition to concentrate on the epistemology of modernity and rationality as the main concepts of Weber’s sociology, we considered some important subjects such as the typology of social actions, the interpretative understanding of social facts and the valuable advice of Weberian ideal types. We think that the interpretative understanding of weber’s approach would help us to extend and deepen our understanding of Iranian comparative historical sociology. To obtain satisfactory methodological and theoretical achievements, we studied Weber’s works critically, examined some works on Iran’s social history, and reviewed our long experience of teaching historical sociology. Therefore this paper has attempted to concentrate on the distinguished Weber’s doctrine of ideal types. For us, this doctrine is still a suitable research guideline to prepare an interpretative analysis in historical sociology on the present Iranian society.
 

Abstract This interdisciplinary and analytical article attempted to provide an interpretation for Ahmad Shamlou’s poems from a sociological point of view. For this purpose, we used two different fields: sociology and Persian literature. The theoretical framework was a combination of various approaches to structuralism. In addition, we employed  Foucault's discourse analysis and Laclau's critical discourse analysis as our research method. The findings revealed that Shamlou’s works have an ideological, semantic and linear determination. As a result, his works are structuralistic and therefore, it is impossible to read them differently. The results also showed that Persian literature has a high capacity to address and interpret human and social issues. Plus, the present paper underlines the importance of interdisciplinary studies.
