Postmodern reading of the story of Samak-e Ayyar;Suspect of the three foundations of time, structure and narrative

Postmodernism is a revolt against one-dimensional and monophonic beliefs that do not fit into any particular mind or boundary, and it emerges at any moment and in any place, embodied in the frame of a work of art. There are no definite rules and regulations in postmodernism and its characteristics have not been compiled in a coherent way so far, but there is almost no doubt about its connection with language. The linguistic conception of postmodernism makes it possible to make a connection between historical texts and postmodernism. One of the Iranian stories which seems to be closely related to postmodern fiction is "Samak-e Ayyar". This research intends to study and analyze the components of postmodernism in the story of "Samak-e Ayyar" using narrative analysis of the three foundations of time, structure, and narrative. The general result of the research shows that the use of postmodernism in this work is quite obvious, and the components such as uncertainty at the time of the story, the shakiness of the structural frameworks due to the elements from other texts and the inner monologues of the characters, as well as the blurring boundary between fiction and reality in this journey can give us a better picture of the story.
