Hidden Text of the Poem “Hamzad-e Asheghan-e Jahan (3)” by Combining the Intertextual Approach of Gérard Genette and Michael Riffatterre

The theory of intertextuality or hidden text is one of the contemporary literary theories that Julia Kristeva coined it in sixties of the 20th century. Many scholars were effective in formation of this theory, that among them the applicable approaches of Gérard Genette and Michael Riffaterre more correspond with Persian poetry. In this article, we will discuss the reading of Gheisar Aminpour’s poem titled “Hamzad-e Asheghan-e Jahan (3)” [Along World’s Lovers (3)] upon the intertextuality approaches of Genette and Riffaterre and its aim is accessing to the main concepts and close reading of this poem. Real reading of the mentioned poem requires hypertexts analysis and retrieval due to symbols and implicit signs. The question is that “Is there the possibility of the analysis of Aminpour’s poem and reflection of its hypertexts with intertextuality of Genette and Riffaterre?” For answering this question, first the most corresponding suggestions of Genette and Riffaterre with Persian Poetry was blended and described. Aminpour’s poem was analyzed based on Genette’s theory in the case of explicit, inexplicit and implicit hypertextuality and intertextuality genres and based on Riffaterre’s theory in the case of density, polysemy, descriptive system, hypogramme and matrice, and the hidden text of this poem and its intertextuality relations with the poem of Hafez and Sayeh were revealed. A new reading of Aminpours poem has been presented through the analysis of his poem and revealing its hidden texts.
