Among the literary types, "humor" is the most committed literary type and it appears in the work of a poet or writer when there are elements of commitment and responsibility in their thought. In contemporary literature, "Qeysar Aminpour" is considered among the poets whose poetic themes are mostly in the service of society and its related issues; Therefore, he sometimes uses humor as an artistic tool to express his thoughts and make society reflect and correct social anomalies. Social changes and public culture are one of the most important reasons for the spread of this artistic technique in Qeysar's poetry. In his poems, satire (like satire in the period of Indian style) appears only in words and some selected verses, which are the product of the poet's imagination and language games. This is one of the reasons that adds to the intimacy of his poems with the audience. In this article, the effects of humor in Qeysar Aminpour's poems are classified in different contexts. The humorous topics in his poems mainly include his social criticism. The form of his humor is often the result of combining paradoxical elements, irony, use of colloquial language and language games. In this article, satirical methods and themes in Qeysar Aminpour's poetry have been examined and reflected upon.

In the history of Iranian literature, Nasir Khusrow has a special place. He was a thinking poet and he put his poetry only in the service of propagating religious thought and reforming the beliefs of his audience. Besides being a poet, he has also written books explaining the basics of Esoteric(Batini) sect. His Persian books (including Jami ol-Hikmatain and Zad al-Musafirin) are among the good prose of the fifth century in terms of linguistic and vocabulary characteristics and have literary and linguistic value. Nasir Khusrow's intellectual sources are mainly the sources of the Isma’ili religion and he has benefited from the Epistles of the Brethren of Sincerity, among others.

The words of each combination must have certain similarities and proportions for companionship in order to be connected to each other through networks of imagination; For this reason, despite the old connection of some words in the Persian language and literature, in some cases this connection did not lead to the formation of a combination or if a combination was formed, it lasted for centuries. In this research, an attempt has been made to examine the historical process of the formation of the combination of Mowj-e Gowhar by reviewing the relationship between the two words Mowj (wave) and Gowhar (gem) in Persian poetry. A combination that is directly mentioned in almost 170 verses of Bedil's sonnets, and contemporary Bedil scholars, due to their insufficient understanding of it, have had problems in interpreting the verses. The necessity of historical study of the emergence of compounds and interpretations identifies the importance and necessity of this research, and the research method is based on following the historical process of the composition. The result of this research, in addition to getting the correct meaning of this interpretation, is to prove the historical connection in the formation of pairs of combinations and interpretations in Persian literature.

Persian mystical literature is watered by the fountain of principles and foundations of Islam. However, some common themes in mystical texts are not compatible with the spirit of the original teachings of Islam. Pre-Islamic mystical beliefs such as Jewish mysticism, Gnosticism, ancient Iranian mysticism, Manichaeism, and Mandaeism have been influential in the formation of some of these themes. One of the most important themes is the captivity of the soul in the prison of the body and the well of the world. The essence of this theme has been prevalent in the age of mythology in some form and after passing through philosophy and the texts of the Old Testament, it has reached pre-Islamic mysticism. The most obvious characteristic of pre-Islamic mysticism is the belief in the captivity of light. Muslim commentators and mystics have assumed this topic to be appropriate with the content of some verses and traditions and have created themes around it. In this article, the roots of this theme in mythology and mystical beliefs before Islam are examined and its manifestation is represented in the form of the image of "prison and well" in Persian mystical literature.

Travelogue writing and redefinition of Iranian identity in cultural collision with the West

Travelogues, with whatever intention they are written, are a potential possibility for creating cultural understanding between nations. In these texts, two cultures face each other openly and covertly, and in the communication process of the individual and collective "I" of a culture, they recognize themselves in the mirror of "Others" and continuously form their own "identity". We know that the Iranian identity has been subject to metamorphosis and shedding its skin in the very ancient times and has undergone changes in the collision with different cultures.After the arrival of Islam and in a period of almost two centuries, the Iranian and Islamic identity achieved such a brilliant reconciliation and solidarity that it was able to bring forth a valuable civilization. But after the Mongol attack, this civilization lost its strength and did not come out of its long slumber until it encountered the nascent western civilization. The violent confrontation of the Iranian society with the tsarist Russia challenged the identity and civilization of Iran again and created the traces of identity in the personality of the elites and a little later in the people. In order to overcome this crisis, the recognition of the "Other" became very important and opened the door of relations between Iranians and Europeans. The journey and direct experience of this emerging culture brought travelers from different classes to that country and recording what they saw, heard and read created many texts under the title of "Travelouge". During these texts, we witness the redefinition of Iranian identity; In such a way that the privileges of Islamic and Iranian culture are tried to be protected from harm as much as possible, and on the other hand, the privileges of the new European culture are also taken enough advantage of. It seems that travelogues have played a significant role in redefining and rebuilding the new Iranian identity in the field of intellectual, cultural, social, linguistic, and literary identity, and they are the initiators of many modern topics and topics in Iran.

The way the authors of the war novels of the 60s look at the phenomenon of war, as well as the content of these novels, indicates the existence of three viewpoints and tendencies in favor, opposition, and neutral, or the "third view" towards war, which has appeared in the fiction literature, especially the novels of this decade. Writers in favor of the war are mainly young and novice writers who have become more inclined towards writing after the revolution. The main purpose of these authors and their stories is to praise the stability and defense of the homeland, to stimulate and strengthen the spirit of bravery and to fulfill the ideological mission and defend the revolutionary and Islamic values in relation to war. Among these works, we can mention the novel "Headless Palms" by Qasim-Ali Ferasat. Writers against the war are mainly veteran and experienced writers who started writing years before the revolution. This group of writers do not value the war and usually do not enter the war front and mostly focus on the war of the cities, migration and its negative consequences in the individual and social life of the people. Among these works, we can mention the novel "Winter of 1362" by Ismail Fasih. Neutral writers or "Third View" are a smaller group of writers of the 60s who have addressed the issue of war in some of their works and in fact far from denying or taking sides, they have only reported it. Among these works, we can mention the novel "Scorched Earth" by Ahmad Mahmoud. Among the characteristics of the war novels of the 60s, we can mention such things as the fact that the story is based on events, the influence of the characters from the Ashura culture, the lack of artistic attention and the events being just reportive, the lack of conflict and horror, the presence of repetitive patterns, and the presence of traces of disturbances caused by the Revolution.

Fiqh or the Law is one of the important branches of religious sciences that has expanded significantly in the Islamic world. Beside the law, Sufism or mysticism also has a wide scope. The Law's strong emphasis on the exterior and Sufism's insistence on the interior have, in many cases, pitted the two against each other. Thinkers and intelectuals in different eras tried to bring the two together. Among these thinkers, we can mention Abu Nasr as-Serraj, Abu Talib al-Makki, Hujwiri, al-Juwayni, Al-Ghazali, etc. In the meantime, Imam Muhammad Ghazali was the most successful, who by authoring important books such as Revival of Religious Sciences and Alchemy of Happiness, was able to connect the the Law and the Way and prevent them from drifting apart as much as possible. Three reasons can be mentioned for al-Ghazali's success: 1- Ghazali's mastery over religious sciences, especially jurisprudence and mysticism. 2- Ghazali's faith and sincerity. 3- The power of his pen and his writing style. This article aims to investigate the position and method of al-Ghazali in the integration of the Law and the Way, while examining the subject, and explore the factors influencing his success.

Intuition and divine graces are one of the important principles of Sufism, and Sufis believe that the truth is hidden by many veils, and the only way to tear it and reach the pure truth is the way of discovery and intuition, and in order to achieve such a success, its spiritual prerequisites such as Obedience to God and the Messenger, inner truth, struggle with soul, persistence in belief, among other practical principles, such as enduring austerities such as sleeplessness, staying away from crowds, undergoing a forty-day period of seclusion, eating little and even not eating at all, and long fasts, so that God will open the doors to secrets and reveal the facts. In addition to mystical developments, mystics also experience situations that result in the expression of unusual words, which are called Ecstatic Expression and idle talk, or gradually acquire powers that can prophesy and predict, treat patients, or make the nature of objects and things upside down, which they call the group of these worlds as abnormal phenomena. What is Intuition and divine graces? What are its types, and what are their causes, and what are the benefits and losses of the problem, is the subject of this article.

A new look at the story of Kay Kavus based on the theory of deconstruction

Knowing the cultural and social situation today without a proper understanding of the past is very difficult and sometimes impossible. Mythical forces, whose nature needs to be analyzed, introduce us to some of the cultural barriers and their hidden power. Examining the Shahnameh from the point of view of how innovation, renewal, and desire for change has faced the strong barrier of tradition and what punishments have resulted, helps to better understand the intellectual framework of Iranian society. It seems that one of the reactions of tradition against innovation in Iranian culture is to turn reality upside down. This feature is well visible in the story of Kavus. Kavus has a negative character in Shahnameh more than any Iranian king. The secret of this negative image comes back to his modernist approach to traditional life. Is it possible that tradition and traditionalists have presented an inverted image of Kavus's performance? According to the authors, in the text of the epic, there are signs of inversion and distortion of reality about this myth. The three main actions of Kay Kavus, which have caused the traditionalist forces of the saga to attribute him to indiscretion, are: 1- Mazandaran war, 2- illegitimacy (marriage to Sudabeh and Siavash's mother), 3- flying to the sky. In each of these three acts, the desire for rationalism and innovation can be recognized from the heart of myth and epic, that is, the text that was under the control of tradition. Re-reading or, in other words, reverse reading parts of the Shahnameh - in which the reality is more likely to change - will lead to a new reading of the Shahnameh and Iranian culture. A reading that takes the audience out of the constraints of the text and puts a different reality in front of them.

From the beginning of the emergence of cinema as a new and influential tool in expressing the feelings, emotions, thoughts and perception of contemporary man, the issue of adapting the stories of new and old authors, famous and not famous, has been the basis of making movies. This type of use of literature in cinema, in addition to creating a story ground for making movies, has made it possible to introduce the literature and culture of each country to other nations. In this regard, in the review of Persian literature in different periods, many examples can be found that have the ability to be adapted to make a movie due to their many dramatic features. In this article, an attempt is made to show the content and structure of one of these works, i.e. Tarikh-I Bayhaqi, and show its dramatic aspects from some angles. Therefore, some prominent features of this work are mentioned, such as the story and narrative form, visual adventures, dramatic characterization, as well as distinct but continuous parts of the text, which require the ability to convert it into a three-act screenplay. In addition to that, the rich and moral content of the work, along with the space and images presented in the text, is considered as a suitable ground for adapting a movie script and making a valuable film.
