ادب، فکری آزادی اور جدید سیاسی بیانیہ: ادیب کا کردار

(LITERATURE, INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM, AND THE MODERN POLITICAL NARRATIVE: THE ROLE OF THE WRITER)

Abstract

In the modern world, the writer's role is no longer confined to that of a storyteller or artist; rather, the writer has become a voice of society, a symbol of conscience, and an emblem of resistance. State narratives, ideological pressures, and societal expectations have sought to restrict the free process of literary creation. Yet, the writer’s pen has continuously resisted these constraints. This research explores the triangular relationship between literature, intellectual freedom, and political discourse, where the writer assumes a defiant role, wielding the written word as a weapon against intellectual oppression. By examining literary phenomena, historical references, and contemporary examples, this study asserts that literature without intellectual freedom becomes a mere ornamental exercise, and the writer's true intellectual role flourishes only within a political context.
