Abstract

The present research aims to explain symbolic realism in literary texts by reviewing and critically examining symbolic realism, while explaining three important aspects of symbolic realism epistemology. For this purpose, the possibility of connecting realism with anti-realism and presentationism in symbolic realism and the semantic system of symbolic realism was investigated in three parts of the situational context of symbolic realism. Symbolic realism is known as both an artistic technique and a style. Since the term "symbolic realism" is not properly recognized in literary and artistic circles of Iran, the necessity of this research was felt. As a result, symbolic realism grew in contexts where the connection between language and reality became more prominent and, on the other hand, symbols were used simultaneously with the departure from photographic realism. Another thing is that the possibility of interaction between realism and anti-realism was investigated, the result is that in the studied periods, we can witness the influence of realism from anti-realism and presentationism in the use of symbolic realism, although these links can be traced, but symbolic realism itself maintains an independent structure. It passes through the dry and monotonous approach of pure realism and achieves a broad and multi-meaning system. In the third part, while confirming and explaining the polysemous system of symbolic realism, its difference with other polysemous systems was determined and the position of the symbol in symbolic realism was analyzed. It goes further and an independent semantic pattern can be drawn for it.
