Abstract

If we consider culture as a set of semiotic systems or a set of interconnected semantic systems, we can say that these extensive semantic systems are especially crystallized in the poetry and literature of each culture. Therefore, examining the verbal works produced in each culture can be considered a gateway to reaching the essence of that culture A study of children's literature of each period indicates the type of intellectual food provided by the dominant culture of a society for the future generation of that society, and the important aspects of each culture, as well as the type of dealing with the dominant culture with other cultures and others, can be searched in it. Such research is significant as a reference for citing the interactive or conflictual perspective of that culture with other cultures in the current world situation, and the way of confronting the other from another culture is a basis and a reflection of the possible way of human interactions with the others from a close or co-cultural background. This research, by examining the children's and young adult poetry of Tayyebeh Shamani, one of the poets of the last two decades who can be said to have made some worthwhile contributions to children’s literature, analyzes the theme of this poet's poems with an intercultural hermeneutic approach in order to identify the manifestations of encountering the "other" (the first window of entry into communication) by enumerating these others in the world of children and young adults.
