Abstract: (1584 Views) |
The present paper is presented in two sections: theoretical and practical critique. First, it looks at Derrida's view about narrative; and then explains the distinction between narration and story, generally explaining how a text is read within a post-structuralism approach. In the second part, four paintings from the contemporary Iranian painter Hannibal Al-Khas are analyzed in a post-structuralist manner, and with an emphasis on deconstructive approach. In fact, deconstruction emancipates the audience from blind presuppositions which assume the narrative as self-sufficient and certain. The narrative debate here takes painting as a text, and analyzes the relationship of its visual features against its context. The reason for examining these four works from Al-Khas’s oeuvre was their potential to provide a deconstructive critique of the narrative. The main purpose of the present research is to reveal the semantic dimensions of Al-Khas’s work using descriptive-analytical method, and based on library studies of Derrida. |
