Abstract
 The present paper attempts to shed light on a literary discourse which has been dominant in Iranian literature field since mid-1380's .The case study here is an Iranian poet, Alireza Azar whose poems have been defined through four characteristic features, namely anti-idealism, disappointment toward future, individualism, and death-oriented approach to life. Here we examine these features in relation to social and political changes in post-revolutionary Iran. In fact, Azar here serves as an exemplary model through which we can find out the correlations between social changes and the literary discourse. Considering that critical discourse inquires the relation between discourses and social context and goes beyond the historical limits and beliefs, it has been adopted as the method. Although there are different approaches in critical discourse, critical analysis of Norman Fairclough can conveniently explain how a certain notion of the world has been articulated. It understands any conceptual frameworks in its context, and challenges any absolute truths.
