Abstract

As a hidden force, it plays a role in the creation of works of art. In many cases, by using ecological concepts, writers try to restore the power that has been taken away from the society and play the role of political activist in the society. From Foucault's point of view, this power belongs to everything and everyone. Among the contemporary writers, Sadegh Chubak's role in using the concepts of nature and ecosystem to fight against the power discourse of the center has been a unique and special role. In Chobek's thinking, the political matter is often reflected in the biological matter. In the following article, three short stories by Chubak (Why did the sea become stormy?, The cage and the antary whose lute was dead) have been analyzed from the perspective of Foucault's power discourse theory and clarified that Chubak by taking refuge in nature and ecosystem from It is dominance. Discourse of power that teaches tame and obedient subjects escapes. She tries to reduce the disciplinary controls that have gripped the soul of her society by relying on ecological principles. Chubak also establishes a strong connection between the concept of gender and power, and by tying gender with the basics of indigenous life, he takes a stand against male hegemony in order to balance the power and make it clear that power is not specific to one person or institution, and that everyone is a prisoner of it.
