Dramatic Aspects of " The Debate" by Fitrat-e Bukhārā i

Fitrat-e Bukhārā’i is among the leaders of The Revival Movement in Central Asia, known as Jadidan (The Modernists), which played a significant role in the formation of Tājiki’s modern prose. His novel, “The Debate Between a Teacher from Bukhārā and a European”, due to its dialogic structure, can be considered as the first step of Persian play-writing in the region,. This article, following the model of “Dramatic capacities of the Dialogic Prose Debate”, has studied “The Debate” in five dimensions of “tone and dramatic language, characterization in dialogue, dialogic dramatic act, conflict, setting”. The results demonstrate that the dialogic structure of the novel is very close to dramatic structure, and all the Persian prose debates can be analyzed by this model.
