| Summary: | Simultaneous with intertextuality and structuralism, comparative literature was presented with a different approach, and it declared itself an independent discipline. Comparative literature, intertextuality, and transtextuality all "examine the relationship within a text with other text or texts," yet using a different approach; this brings the text out of a monosyllabic and closed form, and gives it a new dynamic, transformation, and meaning to find. Comparative literature examines the "literary relations between the literatures of nations based on historical relationships, similarities, differences, and the relation of affecting and being affected” which, in this case as well, occurs in the form of a dialog between texts, though it is on the transnational and cross-border level. Therefore, it is interrelated with intertextuality, and, primarily, with transtexuality. These two methods are effective ways of criticizing a text, and they play a key role in better understanding and decoding the text. This article will examine the Boustan by Saadi with the approach of intertextuality and transtextuality (as well as the paratexts within the transtexts), and it explains the external factors effective in the creation of the work and understanding the text. Some parts of the text that do not seem important at the first reading, show their function with the help, and in light, of these approaches, and their relatedness becomes evident from the viewpoint of comparative literature. |
