Abstract
Travelogues contain valuable data from social and political realities. One of the most prominent types of travelogue writing is the religious-religious travelogue. With the advent of the Arba'een Pilgrimage in recent years, we are witnessing the writing of travelogues that narrate this event. The present study examines the stylistic components of the Arbaeen travelogues as a literary genre. Among the ten Arbaeen travelogues, the travelogues "At the Order of My Mother", "Khase bi Saropa", "Derangi dar Najaf" and "Seyed Man Hosseini", which adhered to the principles of travelogue writing, were selected and examined in three levels: linguistic, literary and content. At the linguistic level, the most frequently extracted vocabulary was extracted, which shows that the vocabulary of the texts is in accordance with the discourse of the work. At the sentence level, the most important features of the works can be considered informal events, the use of verses and narrations, the use of passages from poetic texts and non-Persian propositions. The use of various forms of humor is the most important linguistic-literary component of the works. At the literary level, the most important literary industries are: simile, irony, discernment, and description. At the intellectual level, obvious components have been extracted in the field of politics, society and culture. The results of the research indicate that the collection of linguistic and literary tools and arrangements has been selected according to the dominant discourse of the work, ie the reflection of the Arbaeen sidewalk as a cultural, social, political and religious movement.
