Abstract

In the field of contemporary Iranian literature and cinema - more or less like the world art currents - genres generally live with their distinctive aspects. Especially the gap between realist and mystical approaches is quite tangible, but in recent decades we have seen events that break the boundaries of genres and some literary texts or films have moved to the inter-genre, which is one of the results of the intersubjective currents of thought in modern society, and in literary and artistic texts, competing concepts or themes are sometimes intertwined and reconciled. Naturally, such works find strong intertextual relations with the rich Iranian-Islamic heritage in the world of art and literature are at the forefront. Obviously, Majidi's film Khorshid has achieved such a feature with a significant change. Majidi succeeded in incorporating seemingly inconsistent genres of realism in mystical works, and with this combination of narcissism, he presented a film in the inter-genre, anti-traditional, unfamiliar, and innovative atmosphere. The purpose of this research is to explore the aspects of the emergence of this innovative inter-genre, which seems to be consistent with the foundations of the textual developments of recent decades. The research method is descriptive-analytical and its theoretical framework has been formed based on genre critique and genre studies. In summary, the perspective of the research results show the emergence of realist-mystical inter-genre features in Majid Majidi's film Khorshid Majidi, and he has succeeded in combining reality with holiness and love and representing his artistry and holism in this film.
