an endeavor to contribute to the burgeoning field of comparative
literature, this book explores the understudied "intertextual
dialogism" between American literature and Iranian cinema,
providing an intertextual link between the two seemingly separate
departments of literature and cinema. Foregrounding "the textuality
of history, and the historicity of texts", this book contends that
literary "texts" are synchronic artifacts prone to myriad
intertextual and extra-textual readings and understandings, each
historically conditioned. This book pinpoints how Iranian cinema
appropriates and recontextualizes instances of modern American
literature to construct and inculcate vestiges of national/gender
identity on the silver screen. Watching Herzog, Franny and Zooey,
The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Death of a
Salesman in Iran adds a new intertextual level to their dialogic
textuality.
