The subject of this research is the manifestation of visual puns in poster design. In this research, first, the array of puns and their types were introduced, then visual puns and how to use them in poster design were investigated. The target community in this research is the social posters designed on the topic of AIDS in America, which were designed in 2008 and 2009, and the designers used puns as the main basis for creating their work. Among these, the two posters that had the most variables discussed in the research were examined as the sample population. The purpose of this research is the comparative study of the array of puns in words and how it is manifested in poster design. The current research is applied and its method is qualitative from the perspective of research data. This means that first, the desired variables in the posters of the sample community, which were collected by referring to electronic sources, using the method of observation, coding, and extracted from the samples, then in the form of four categories of visual, symbolic, linguistic and The use of visual puns were also investigated. In general, the results of this research showed that just as puns in words are considered a kind of summary writing and make the words beautiful and effective, visual puns can also help designers as one of the best creative ways to solve graphic design problems.

This article aims to study the work of Sadegh Hedayat by using the ecosemiotics of the short story "The Stray Dog". The short story of the stray dog is told from the point of view of a dog that is gradually separated from its mother, brother and owner, and then is so abused by all other humans that it finally suffers from exhaustion and boredom close to death. The question of the current article is that, based on the ecosemiotics based on Peirce's opinions, how the relationship between the dog and its environment becomes sign. In this article, an attempt is made to show how the dog moves away from a safe, calm and stable environment and falls into an unsafe and dangerous environment with the formation of an interpretation during which the dog sits in the human position. A person who, after being separated from that safe and calm environment, inevitably gives in to isolation from society that he cannot match and therefore, always suffers from the society. Based on the results obtained by this research, with the process of ecological meaning making, the interaction of the dog with its environment in the story of the stray dog goes beyond a direct binary relationship and becomes a triadic relationship of signs, which is rooted in the symbolic triangle intended by Peirce.

The present article examines the behavioural traits of the characters in the novel 'Autumn Is the Final Season’ by Naseem Marashi (born in 1363) which is based on the theory of traits propounded by Ramond Bernard Cattell (1905-1998). The main characters of the novel are three women named Leila, Roja and Shabana who have behavioural traits emanating from migration, family, emotions and works. One of the views related to personality can be called the theory of Ramond Bernard Cattell. This theory tries to describe a person’s traits that are caused by his behavioral personality. His formal traits are obvious and superficial and are of short duration. According to Raymond Cattell deep traits are embedded and more prominent in a person. Ramond Cattell enumerates sixteen factors which form the traits of a character. This article is a descriptive analysis of them and answers to the fundamental question that which type of character in the novel ‘Autumn Is the Final Season’ fits into the theory of Cattell. According to the result of my research which was conducted on Ramond Cattell’s theory which shows that the character in the novel happens to be more anxious and disturbed.

picture books play an important role in education, as well as the formation and development of the mental dimensions and information of the child and adolescent audience about the character, content, space and mood of the story. One of the important functions of the image is to convey the atmosphere, tone and content of old stories for children and teenagers. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is one of the texts rewritten for teenagers. The use of the image element in the rewriting of this precious work introduces the audience to the heroes, national myths and the epic atmosphere of the story. The purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyze the images of the rewritten stories of the Shahnameh based on the text and image components of Pari Nodelman. Nodelman suggests six components for depicting the story. This research, with a descriptive-analytical method, aims to answer the questions that the images of the rewritten stories correspond to Nodelman's six components about the image. 2. Which component of Nodelman's six cases can be seen in the images of the rewritten stories? 3. Which narration's rewritten images (Salehi or Fattahi) are more consistent with the six components? The results showed that the images of the rewritten stories (according to Salehi and Fattahi) are more consistent with the first (the most elementary connection between the text and the image) and the second (the image merely presents the visual equivalent of the words) components of Nodelman's theory.

AbstractNovels depict various aspects of personal and social lives of people. In novels, writers portray socio-political concepts. The social constructivist reading of novels involves a literary analysis of works of fiction, relying on how characters, events, as well as setting are constructed, and in what ways they affect the mindset of the readership. From this perspective, a text is regarded as a unique construction whose individual components can affect the meaning and communication in every way. Simin Daneshvar's Sovashoon appears to be a literary work of value to be studied from this perspective, in terms of gender, social setting, religion, power, etc. To do this, first we try to show how Daneshvar as a novelist deals with realities from a social constructivist point of view. Then, we would try to explicate in what ways she uses social issues throughout the novel. The results of the novel would show how socio-political events in Sovashoon are at times invented by the author to affect the readers in order to increase the actions in the novel. This analysis is hoped to result in a deeper understanding of the relationships between literature and the sociopolitical realities of Iranian society.

in this research, which is based on the analytical-descriptive method and influenced by the semi-semantic approach in classical narratives, an attempt has been made to consider 661 existing subjects in the collection of Iranian folk tales, which includes 201 stories collected by the efforts of Seyyed Abolqasem Enjavi Shirazi in the four volumes collection, to study the types of feeling of shortage of subject in relation to the object, and also to analyze the specific appearance of the objects in these stories; The findings of this research show that the subjects in these stories have five classes: normal or peasant-subject, average, special or ruler-subject, legendary and mythological, compared to objects, there are two types of shortcoming: affirmative (must be), privative (must be again) and have experienced the feeling of danger of privative loss (must not be lost), among which affirmative loss has been the most frequent, and also the objects in these stories are divided into four categories: abstract objects, inanimate objects, merely animate objects, intelligent animate objects. It has been shown that abstract objects have the most frequency.

Not much has passed since folke literature was taught as an academic subject in the university. Since then, researchers in this field have been trying to study fairy tales based on scientific methods. Peter Gilet is among those who provide his model for an academic reading of fairy tales. His proposed model has two dimensions: textual (structural) and contextual. The textual dimension recognizes five functions in the common structure of fairy tales: First position, interaction with assistant, interaction with the queen; Interaction with the enemy and the return of the hero. The contextual of the pattern reveals the close connection between the fairy tale and the puberty rites and explains that the secret of the common structure of the wonderful tales is their connection with the puberty rites. Gilet claims that his proposed model is applicable to all the wonderful tales of the world. In order to test this claim, this article selects five Iranian legends and five Arabic legends and it analyzes its text and context based on Gilet's model. This study shows that Gilet's model is useful in reading Iranian and Arabic legends And it can be used for a deeper understanding of the legends of these two linguistic realms.

Trantextuality is one of the most important approaches in humanities studies and literary criticism, which deals with the effects and communication of texts and studies, and examines co-presence relationships and overlaps of literary works. According to the theory of transtextuality, no text is created without borrowing from previous texts. These two types of texts, which are called pre-text and hypertext respectively, have different Trantextualité relationships. To put it better, all elements of the pre-text can be changed and transformed in the hypertext, so that new texts emerge from them. For this reason, the current research, based on the theory of Gérard Genette's transtextuality, and relying on statistical data in a descriptive-analytical way, examines and analyzes the quality and quantity of the influence of Raziq Faani among previous poets. The findings of this research show that under the influence of the predecessors of Persian poetry, Raziq Faani wrote the forms of Ghazal, Masnavi, Qaseedah, Makhmas, and Ghazal-Masnavi. In these formats, he has written romantic, social, critical, Resistance, didactical, and mystical themes based on intertextuality, paratextuality, and Architextuality. Faani created these poetic forms according to the poems of Abu Salik Gorgani, Rudaki, Ferdowsi, Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, Hafez, Bedil, Moshtagh Esfahani, Yaghma-ye Jandaqi, Shater Abbas Sabouhi, Ismael Balkhi, and Simin Behbahani. Among these, Faani has paid the most attention to the poems of Mowlavi and Hafez, and has been influenced by the poems of them in a systematic way based on the relationships between hypertextuality, paratextuality, and intertextuality.

The idea of "returning to oneself" is possible based on the assumption of raising "self" and human agency (subjectivity), and based on this, the question arises whether the thought and works of Jalal Al Ahmad, as one of the main heralds of this idea, Do they enable the emergence of Iranian subjectivity? In this research, by using the theoretical premises of subjectivism and the concept of representation, which connects the expression of individual identity and subjectivism with literature, the search for self-identity and subjectivity in the works of Al-Ahmad and the representation of "self" and the real world or "pretense" and movement towards hyperreality - based on Baudrillard's ideas - was studied as the basis of projecting or rejecting the return to oneself in Al-Ahmed's works. The final result shows that the emergence of the idea of returning to oneself in the works of Jalal Al-Ahmed is mostly in the form of protesting the existing situation and this issue has deep roots of negation of "self". "Self", which is the basis for the emergence of subjectivism and active confrontation with the outside world, collapses and dissolves from all sides in Al-Ahmad's works. Al-Ahmad does not allow subjectivity to take place. He always seeks to negate himself (the subject) and place it in a shadow of ambiguity. Such an identity of his "self" causes him to move from the representation of the real world to the threshold of hyperreality.

Grotesque is a way of looking at life. This idea is actually derived from ancient cave paintings in Italy which showed a mixture of human, plant, and animal in a tangled and complex way. Later, this style permeated art and literature and became the founder of a new and unique style in literary works. Exaggeration, non-normativity, satire, offensive language, and physicality are some of the hallmarks of this literary style. A method that the author of the novel "The Horrifying Confessions of a Dead Turtle" has used in a special way in writing his work. In this novel, the most frightening and bitter events of life are narrated with biting humor and vulgar language. A method that, by mixing various scenes of death, eating, and carnal desires, has created a distinct manifestation of the grotesque style in places throughout the novel. This article attempts to use a descriptive method of content analysis to analyze grotesque elements and how the author is influenced by these elements, as well as to examine the origins of the novel's narrator's tendency to use grotesque language and components One of the important goals of the research is to go beyond the expression of grotesque elements and use these components to analyze the psyche of the narrator's character A process that results in issues such as fear of death, anxieties, and lifelong traumas as the main motivation for the narrator's choice of a grotesque lifestyle.

Language typology aims to determine linguistic types by considering the similarities and differences among languages. In historical typology, with reference to typological theories and universals, the linguistic types of each language are examined in historical periods. In the current research, taking into consideration the first Feature of Dreyer's branching theory (1992), the use of adpositions has been investigated in the Middle Persian text of Kārnāmag ī Ardaxšīr ī Pābagān and the New Persian book of Zoroaster's last journey. Also, it presents evidence for Dabirmoghaddam Theory (2013) and other researches which have claimed that Persian type is changing. Furthermore, this research tries to answer to this question that why Persian is not consistently a head-initial or head-final language in each period. The results indicate that although both Middle Persian and New Persian texts have both orders of this feature, both texts show a tendency toward preposition. The number of postpositions in Middle Persian is more than in New Persian, which also confirms its dominant tendency towards VO languages. This conclusion shows that New Persian is not in the stage of change of status and has followed a path similar to Middle Persian.

Many literary criticism theories have developed based on other disciplines like linguistics and have, to a certain degree, an interdisciplinary character. Formalism as one of these kinds of theories, has had a tremendous influence on literary studies. Skaz is an important term in literary criticism that deals with the voices of the writer and the narrator and highlights the difference between the two. Dialogue-orientation, bilingualism, consideration for colloquialism, limitation of thought horizon, and absence of censorship and ambiguity in language are important features of Skaz. Paying attention to the element of narration and combining the ancient and ordinary language are the properties of Akhavan-Sales’ poetry which makes some of his poems open to analysis from the perspective of Skaz. This study was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method, in order to review eighteen Akhavan-Sales’ poems on the basis of Skaz elements to answer the question that how extensive the skaz features related to structure and content are dominant in his poetry. The result of the study shows that in Akhavan-Sales’ narrative poetry the structural features as narration, bilingualism, dialogue-orientation and colloquial language are dominant over content features such as limitation of thought horizon, absence of censorship and ambiguity.

Narratology refers to the knowledge of analyzing stories and narrative texts, based on which one can reach an understanding and analysis of stories. One of the desired subjects of narratologists is the speed of narration, which is defined by distinguishing between the time of the text and the time of its narration. This research analyzed the speed of narration in the story of Zahhak as the first story with a full plot in the mythological part of the Shahnameh, The model under investigation is not Genette's model, but the model designed in the article "Models to check the speed of narration" based on core and related events. The results of the research indicate that 12 core events can be considered for this story, which the consistency of the story depends on them. In the second half of the story of Zahak, Ferdowsi has narrated the story in length and detail, and the speed of the narration is slow in this part. The reason is the stabilization of concepts arising from the confrontations between the forces of good and evil at the beginning of the narrative. In the first half of the story the speed of the narration is positive and Ferdowsi has tried to familiarize the reader with the atmosphere of the story by briefly introducing the main characters, the story's character dimensions, their basic and required actions. Only in one event, which is in the middle of the story, the speed of the narrative is tolerably constant.

In the researches of contemporary literary criticism, interdisciplinary analyzes between various fields and types of art are of great importance. This issue arose from the intertextual theories that started with the dialogue approach of Kristeva and Bakhtin's texts and reached its peak in the intertextual discussions of Gérard Genette. In the meantime, examining the relationships and dialogues between literature and other arts is very attractive among literary critics. Therefore, this research tries to investigate the relationship between Sadegh Hedayat's works and Qasim Hajizadeh's paintings with a descriptive-analytical method and with a more textual approach by Gerard Genet. From the results of this research, we can point to the direct and unconscious influence of Hedayat's character and his narratives on both linguistic and content levels in the form, structure and message of Hajizadeh's works. This effectiveness can be mentioned in the form of color selection, personality, location and use of visual symbols. On the other hand, in the field of messages such as anti-superstition, a critical look at the society's perception of women, isolation and alienation from oneself, and loneliness of modern man, Hajizadeh is more than anything influenced by the text and content data of Sadiq Hedayat.
