Abstract: (312 Views) |
| The aim of the present research was to intertextual study of the standing images of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) in the works of the survivors of coffee house painting and have been written in an overlapping range of painting, coffee house painting, miniature, poster, Islam- ic history, hadith, and narration. Imam Ali (AS) stands alone and carries Zulfiqar with him, in these images. This study seeks to challenge the public's belief that the reference to the figure and Zulfiqar of Imam Ali is purely historical. In this regard, the authors have identified the standing images of Imam Ali (AS) from the contemporary period to the Qajar period, and they have surveyed with the approach of intertextual and transtextual theory of Gen- ette. They have tried to show that these images, in addition to history, refer to previous pictorial texts. According to Islamic hadiths and narrations, the first standing images of İmam Ali (AS) existed both in the Divine Throne and in the coffin of Prophet Adam (AS). These images were created by the command of God, so the first images of Imam Ali (AS) were spiritual, and the choice of Zulfiqar as a sign of Imam Ali (AS) was also spiritual. Ac- cording to these hadiths and narrations, the standing figure and the presence of Zulfiqar can be mentioned as the principles or protocols of the standing images of Imam Ali (AS) and considering the observance of these protocols in the works of the survivors of the cof- fee house paintings, It can be claimed that these works are located at the end of the series that its head reaches to the spiritual images of the Imam Ali (AS). Thus, the images of Imam Ali (as) in the works of the survivors of the coffee house painting have the explicit and implicit intertextual, imitation hypertextual, and the stylistic-thematic derivation relationship with the pictorial and written previous texts. |
