“Postmodern literature” is an interesting field of the contemporary literature which contains an attractive frency for the auhors and readers of the texts eluding from the structuralist approach. The text elements: body, form and structure, are like the wooden pieces floating on the waves of water, without any conveying orientation of sense. Polyphony, deconstruction and Schizophrenic image are three important aspects of a postmodern text (poem, novel, play, scenario, ...), the criteria to distinguish a different text from a postmodern one.

Artistic theory in the “West” has had a controvertial role through the course of 20^th century, mostly based on philosophical and psychological theories rather than on esthetiques or art practice per se. the consequence: visual and esthetique principals have been replaced by ideological manifestos and artists’ statements. Whilst, during the same period art critics in Iran have been doing a lot of effort to establish and develop an artistic theory based on the dramatic dichotomy of the Modern and traditional. This talk aims to open a new discussion based on concentrating on a new reading of the history of arts in Iran. And will pay attention to the emergence of a new flourishing period of art practice in Iran today.

چرا که اگر به‌گاه آمده‌باشي دربان به انتظار توست و
اگر بي‌گاه
