Abstract

This paper delves into the artistic-aesthetic dimensions present in three contemporary narratives: "My Father's Hands" by Sardar Amin, "The Bitten apple" by Atagam, and "The Silence of the Bees" by Sharif Agh. It elucidates how these stories embody the artistic-aesthetic ideal while underscoring the intrinsic connection between aesthetic expression and the socio-political milieu. Furthermore, it posits that the author's portrayal of reality inherently reflects ethical-aesthetic intentions. Sardar Amin's narrative places the moral-aesthetic quandary at the forefront, emanating from the national-moral framework characteristic of an oriental writer. Sharif Agh elucidates rape as a manifestation of wartime aggression, categorizing it as an archetype of aesthetic repugnance. This portrayal suggests that warfare itself embodies elements akin to rape. Atagam presents a distinct artistic and aesthetic narrative, delineating contrasting worldviews within the story. The author's withdrawal from the characters, adoption of a language reflective of the story's environment, and adherence to existing aesthetics augment the narrative's allure.
