Abstract

Constructivism first appeared as a theory of economy by Carl Marx and then the linguists such as De Saussure and Focou. Furthermore, the development of the theory Originated from the works and views of the Russian Formalists, Prague Ring and New Criticism. The study is under the title of "Occupied Home in Kazhal Ahmed's poem 'Khasa Pigeon' and 'Rahimawa'" from a constructivist point of view. One of the most apparent basics of the theory is to work on the text itself rather than the author's life and his psychological, social, historical and ideological state. It only sheds light on the text, which caused the invention of 'The Author's Death'. Apart from the introduction and conclusion, the paper consists of two parts. In the first part, the term of constructivism, its definition and terminology are introduced as well as the theory's basics, principles, and resources. The second part is specified to the practical study of the poem through a constructivist theory. In conclusion, the result of the study is pinpointed and the list of the resources are given.
