Abstract
The word "fancy" was one of the most frequently used expressions of the theologians before the 8th century and was not among the common expressions in the texts of Sufism in this period. Ebn-e-Arabi was the first to borrow the term from Ebn-e-Sina and Sohrevardi in order to describe his specific thoughts on the universe and the human relation with God. He uses the term to refer to whatever beyond God and the phenomena which do not have more than imaginary existence. He also uses the term for the Limbo world which is the intermediary between the World of Nature and the Heavenly World. Prior to him, however, the word "fancy" was used exclusively in the texts of Sufism and was realized through fantasizing like dream trips, legendary events, heavenly creatures' observations, mental mastery over future and distant happenings, and callings of the spirits and individuals all of which make the source of a lot of Sofistic narratives and miracles.

Abstract
Tarjoman al-Balaghah written by Omar Radoviani, as the oldest Persian book on eloquence and criticism, holds a special and prominent stand among works devoted to the subject.It is the main source and reference for significant Persian books on eloquence such as Hadaeghat al-Sehr and Al-Mo'jam, which were compiled later .It was the first attempt to understand and establish Persian literary devices.The present study is devoted to a structural review as well as an appraisal of the innovation and imitation of the book.To this end, we started with its main source, namelyMahasen al-Kalam Fi al-Nazm va al-Nasr written by Marghinani, and analyzed its configuration, definitions, titles of literary devices, indexes, and examples.Then, a few chapters of Mahasen-al-Kalam were compared with its main source,Al-Badi'written by Ibn-al-Mo'taz.We proceeded to review the structure of Tarjoman al-Balaghah, the way literary devices were organized, and how it was influenced by Mahasen al-Kalam.We concentrated on the similarities and differences between the two to get acquainted with indexing of literary devices based on the main reference, the alterations, as well as added devices in new classifications along with Persian examples.These enabled us to observe and explain the formation and development of Persian eloquence from the very beginning.Our findings indicated that although Radoviani was directly influenced by Mahasen al-Kalam, he added new devices and categories which were absent from Mahasen al-Kalam, and scholars in the field of eloquence used his book as a model for compiling new books.His innovations included utilizing a treasure of Persian names and poems by his own efforts.Although Radoviani adapted parts of Mahasen al-Kalam, he used a new structure, and his simple and fluent work took a pleasant Persian format.

Abstract
Despite showing an overtly simple structure, the semantic process in classic literary-narrative discourse conforms to complicated semiotic systems. As a result, semio-semantics is deemed as one of the most scientific, reliable tools since it helps intradiscursive semio-textual propositions be phenomenologically, and even epistemologically, analyzed. Consequently, the narrative discourse in “The Prince and His Companions” is studied in order to find how much sign elements have semantic capability and how effective they have been in revealing the narrator’s thoughts and discourse.
This study is a library research, trying to address a) what situation and function linguistic backgrounds and parameters have in quality and fluidity of discursive meaning in line with narrator’s mindset; and b) how sign-individuals exist in the semantic process and epistemological discourse. In general, findings reveal that the narrator has intentionally formed this narrative discourse, compiling all semiotic systems and elements in an attempt to describe deterministic mental representation.

Abstract
The study of mythological and epic works, which narrate the thoughts and ideas of the predecessors and express the history and culture of people’s lives, from the perspective of practical wisdom is a strong evidence to prove the existence of moral principles and customs in ancient Iranian society that continued after Islam. In this research, Banugoshasb-nameh poemswere studied with the aim of analyzing the position of women in practical wisdom. The library research method was used, and the approach of the paper is descriptive-analytical. The results show that Banugoshasb’s actions and behavior are consistent with the components of practical wisdom and she can be called the model of a successful woman in the culture of Iranian ethnic groups who has transmitted moral virtues in a heroic manner. From the point of view of practical wisdom in the field of personal morality, the lady is the wise, brave, chaste, believing and committed daughter of Rostam, the representative of the lady heroines who has become a model of virtue through her behavior and actions. In the field of house management and civil policy, the high position of the lady in the family represents the value of women in the original Iranian culture. Regardless of the attitude of the patriarchal society, she has an independent and militant personality whose femininity has not caused her to be weak in doing things, irresolute and incapable, compared to men. In the family, she is a righteous, brave, and responsible child who acts at father’s discretion (the house manager).

Abstract
The narrative of The Blind Owl (Buf-e Kur) goes through scattered “writings” in which the “painter” narrator, in captivity from the burden of his “wall of the house” shoulders through the entire story and tells the “swallowing shadow” of himself. It is only in the first part of The Blind Owl that the “ethereal girl” “manifests” through the “ventilation hole” of the closet of the same “house” which is located “on the other side of the ditch”. In the present study, the psychoanalytic theories of the French Jacques Lacan, of which language-centeredness is also one of the basic premises, are effective tools that pave the way for reflection on the linguistic aspects and related symbols in The Blind Owl. What explanation Lacan’s “The Real” provides for the progress of the plot of this modern story as well as how the result of such a view sheds light on the interpretive nature of The Blind Owl and its prosaic aspects constitute the author’s concerns.

Abstract
Modern art and literature transformed the foundations of modern aesthetics by paying attention to the negative and unconventional philosophical topics that did not play an important role in classical aesthetics. “Death” is known as one of the central elements of modern literature based on the thoughts of the existentialist and post-structuralist schools. In the modern novel, death plays an essential role in the structure and texture of the story in terms of content, language, and art; and many of the aesthetic aspects of the novel revolve around it. Sadeghi, as one of the leading writers of Iran, made “death” the subject of his novel, “Malakut”, and used many of the literary aspects of his work around this concept. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method, the aesthetic aspects of death in “Malakut” have been analyzed, which are tied to other components of modern aesthetics. The findings of the study show that the relationship between death and other components of modern aesthetics such as paradox, absence, and ambiguity has led to the importance of the dark aspects of existence as well as the rejection of the work based on the classical and conventional standards of aesthetics.

Abstract
Akhar-e Shahnameh (The Ending of Shahnameh) is one of the brilliant poems of Mehdi Akhavan Sales, which took on a form of despair and anxiety under the influence of the coup on 19 August 1953. Many personal and social conditions and factors influenced the formation of these two emotional categories, but in Akhavan’s poem, perhaps more influential than the death of relatives was the failure of the national movement due to the events related to oil, which revealed feelings of despair and anxiety in the mind and soul of the failed contemporary poet. Akhar-e Shahnameh has the potential to be studied with new literary approaches and especially with structuralist criticism due to its narrative aspect, old Khorasani dialect, syntactic anomaly, and coherent structure. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between and the structure of despairing and anxiety-provoking images and their contrast with happy and hopeful images in Akhar-e Shahnameh; because examining the image structure in this poem helps us understand the difficulties of Akhavan's poetry. This research uses an analytical-critical method. Adopting the approach of structuralist criticism, an attempt has been made to examine the anxiety-provoking and despairing images of this poem in two horizontal and vertical axes so as to explore the grounds for its glory and coherence by means of literary criticism. The findings of this research show that in this poem, Akhavan employs more than sixty-five despairing and anxiety-provoking images using imagery tools such as irony, metaphor, simile, symbol, paradox, etc., in the two axes of coexistence and substitution to draw the atmosphere of the 1950s, which was full of despair and anxiety.

Abstract
In modern times life was associated with an anxiety, frivolity and despair that ultimately led to the inevitable fate of death and this was the issue that was considered in modern art and literature. Hedayat due to desperate worldview and desire that he showed to the concept of "death", the existential influence of death in human life was subject to many of his stories. In Hedayat stories, most of the characters are caught in isolation, pessimism, absurdity and various psychosis, which leads to their death and suicide in many cases. In this article, we analyzed the essential importance of the concepts of "madness" and "fear of death" and the function of madness in confronting the fear of death in the Hedayat's Stories Zende be Goor and Se Ghatreh Khoon. Research findings show that in Hedayat's stories, madness inveigles death and Terror of death by making modern life meaningless and Emptying people's minds and it frees the minds of the characters from existential anxiety and worries and terror of death by giving up life before death and by taking advantage of ironic suicide.
