Abstract
This research explains the estrangement in the stories of Goli Taraghi and uses a qualitative method based on phenomenology. Phenomenology is an experiential method that can present our perceptual aspects about a whole or an object and lead us to a transcendent perception of it. In the belief of phenomenologists, knowledge of the identity of objects is realized through various direct, indirect, historical, and anticipatory levels of experience. Therefore, the necessity of estrangement as a human trait has been considered in the stories of Taraghi. Estrangement in the stories of Taraghi is an empirical-historical and cosmological process that is experienced by different people and in various forms. This research has tried to reread the stories of The Incident, Two Worlds, and scattered memories from a phenomenological point of view. The findings of the research show that the experiences of estrangement in the works of Taraghi are manifested in various images such as uncertainty of the future, cultural and linguistic incompatibility, isolation, escape, confrontation, otherness, nostalgia, and lack of intimacy with the environment. The results of the research show that the various profiles of estrangement in Taraghi’s stories are the result of the different perceptual experiences of the people in his stories from this concept and the result of four different experimental levels, which ultimately paints a general picture of the identity of estrangement in Taraghi’s view and a broader sense from the point of view of the immigrant.
