PRINCIPLES OF MODERNITY IN KURDISH DRAMA (KHONEK LE DEHREVE BAZNED)

Abstract

This research, entitled "Principles of Modernity in Kurdish Drama (Khonek Le Dehreve Bazneda) as a Model," attempts to demonstrate the basic principles of Western modernity, the extent of their influence on literary texts in Kurdish drama, and how to employ them, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It is based on the principle that Kurdish literature in general, and drama in particular, are an extension of the contemporary human thought movement and are not cut off from Western modernity, but are influenced by its most important fundamental principles. Their reflections on the writer's self are evident in the depths of their literary productions, directly or indirectly. In the folds of this research, we have addressed modernity in terms of terminology and concept, in addition to demonstrating the most important basic principles upon which Western modernity was built, such as (subjectivity, rationalism, nihilism, individualism, and the use of science in literature), and applying them to the dramatic collection (Khonek Le Dehreve Bazneda) by the writer (Halkat Idris). In our conclusions, we concluded that Kurdish drama is a contemporary literary genre, not disconnected from modernity. The most important general principles are present within it, whether as an escape from reality, or as alienation and rebellion within the writer, or as a product of his awareness of these intellectual and philosophical trends. This research consists of two chapters. The first deals with modernity as a concept and term, as well as its history and the reasons for its emergence in the West. The second chapter is an applied study of the principles of modernity in Kurdish drama texts, in addition to the results and sources consulted.
