Abstract

The Hawrami short story has become an independent literary form, significantly contributing to the development of the Hawrami language in recent years. Over the past two decades, it has served as a medium for expressing cultural, social, and political concerns in the Hawraman community. It has both preserved Kurdish cultural values and acted as a defender against opposing ideologies.This genre connects Hawraman's cultural past to its present. Writers use short stories to depict social, cultural, political, and economic realities, aiming to raise awareness and critique the current cultural state. Often, their work challenges societal norms with sharp, critical language.This research defines the Hawrami short story, analyzing its framework and the factors shaping its development. It examines the styles of various periods and investigates the influences—both explicit and hidden—that have impacted its historical growth.The study adopts a modern literary criticism approach to explore key concepts, influential factors, and effective ways to engage with this genre. It highlights how historical events, migration, war, internet access, Kurdish media, social networks, and Hawrami short story conferences have driven its emergence and evolution. Ultimately, the Hawrami short story has become a vital cultural tool, reflecting and addressing the challenges of Hawraman society while preserving its heritage.
