Abstract

Ecological violence against women is a type of violence in which women are oppressed in connection with nature and its elements. This kind of violence points to a kind of bond between women and nature, which degrades both of them to the level of passive subjects. In this research, the ecological violence against women in the stories of dervishian has been investigated and analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. Darvishian is one of the realist writers of Persian literature, and the female characters in his stories are characters without will and freedom based on existing realities. The necessity of conducting this research is to show the type of socio-cultural insight of the period in which the stories were formed. The results of the research indicate that poverty in all its dimensions, superstitions, culture and existing beliefs intensify violence against women and nature has a greater share in this representation due to its greater connection with women. The male characters of Dervishian stories, even when they commit oppression against women, represent them in the form of environmental elements. This representation shows the connection and fit between the two. In Dervishian stories, female characters are passive subjects who, like nature and its elements, cannot defend themselves
