Abstract
Purpose: The present study aimss to identify the dimensions and conceptual network of Shahryar studies
Methodology: The applied study was conducted using co-word analysis, clustering, and network analysis techniques. The study population comprised 719 articles published from 1316 to October 1403 (1937–2024). Persian databases served as the primary sources, and scientometric software tools were employed for preprocessing and analysis.
Findings: The results identified 875 concepts within Shahryar studies. Furthermore, the knowledge in this domain was organized into 21 independent conceptual clusters. The conceptual map demonstrated that the network consists of 240 nodes, connected by 672 links. The resulting network exhibits a density score of 0.0996, indicating a fragmented structure with limited interconnectivity among concepts.. Additionally, Shahryar studies were comparatively examined alongside 82 other poets across 149 shared concepts.
Conclusion: To date, Shahryar studies have addressed themes such as religious and ritualistic motifs, social themes, elements of naturalism, expressions of nationalism, mystical reflections, Persian ghazals, manifestations of resistance and endurance literature, human ethical traits, aesthetics, local and indigenous metaphors, moral advice, lyrical literature, nostalgia in poetry, stylistics, allusions, romantic themes, symbolism, mythological analysis, and semantic word studies.
Value: Shahryar's works reflect social, cultural, and mystical concerns, offering a multifaceted model that can inform the design of cultural and academic programs.
