Abstract
One of the important types of capital, which is the main subject of this research, is “religious capital.” The origin of this capital is the institution of religion. Religion is one of the oldest human institutions that has emerged in society in various ways since the beginning of creation. In no period of human history has life been found without religious beliefs. Religion has always been a unifying factor in human existence. There are many definitions of religious capital: “The common point of all definitions of religious capital is that the most important function of this type of capital is to provide individuals with a religious identity through participation in religious associations and increased interactions among individuals”. Identity also typically has two indicators: dependence and attachment. In other words, religious identity signifies belonging and commitment to the religious community (Sapidnameh et al., 2018). Religious capital, like other forms of capital, has dimensions such as beliefs, ethics, and rituals. This type of capital has been addressed in various texts of human thought. Literature is also an important arena for the manifestation of religious capital, and poetry, as a significant literary genre, has always served as a platform for representing religious capital. In addition to poems written in Persian, we witness the composition of poetic works in local languages, and Ilam province also has great poets who have written many poems in Kurdish, Lori, and Laki. Gholamreza Khan Arkwazi is one of the renowned poets of this land who has composed a collection of poems in Kurdish. Part of Gholamreza Khan Arkwazi's collection is a prayer book; however, no methodological research has been conducted on the representation of religious capital in his works so far. This research seeks to answer the general question of how religious capital is represented in Gholamreza Khan Arkwazi's poetry.
