By foregrounding the textuality of history and the historicity of texts, it argues that literary works are synchronic artifacts open to a multitude of intertextual and extra-textual readings and interpretations, each shaped by historical circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its examination, this book reveals how Iranian cinema appropriates and recontextualizes instances of modern American literature to construct and instill vestiges of national and gender identity on the silver screen. By watching films such as Herzog, Franny and Zooey, The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Death of a Salesman in Iran, viewers are presented with a new intertextual dimension to their dialogic textuality, adding depth and complexity to their understanding of these works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable contribution to the field of comparative literature, shedding light on the intricate interplay between American and Iranian cultural expressions and offering new insights into the dynamic relationship between literature and cinema. Its innovative approach and rigorous analysis make it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 331g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032389721\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morteza Yazdanjoo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104727888122,"sku":"9781032389721","price":31.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1675434346493_book.jpg?v=1676015015","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/modern-american-literature-and-contemporary-iranian-cinema-identity-appropriation-and-recontextualization-9781032389721","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
