Abstract

Intertextuality is one of the new literary theories that study the relations between texts. This literary theory is based on this fact that there is no independent text and all texts are intertextually related. In the poetry of Tahereh Saffarzadeh, extensive intertextual relations can be seen. In this intertextual relationship, the contribution of the Qur'an is very impressive. As a revolutionary poet and with ideological tendencies, Saffarzadeh has relation with this holy book on different Literary adaptation, thematic, linguistic and vocabulary levels. The current research has studied Saffarzadeh's intertextual relations with the Qur'an based on the genet intertextuality model and with a descriptive-analytical method, and investigated the different aspects of Saffarzadeh's intertextuality with the Qur'an, including adaptation, lexical and thematic intertextuality, based on Gérard Genette's approach to intertextuality. The purpose of the present research was to reveal the various intertextual effects of Saffarzadeh with the Quran and the interweaving of themes and Quranic quotations and Quranic words in Safarzadeh's poetry. The statistical population of the present article was all the poet's published poems. The result of the present research shows the extensive intertextuality of Safarzadeh with the Qur'an at different levels. Safarzadeh has made adaptations from the Qur'an, in addition to that, he has quoted the words and combinations of the Qur'an as a result of the intertextual relation with the Qur'an in his poetry and embellished his poetry with the combinations and words of the Qur'an.
