Abstract

Carikalamature, is simple, short, and literary sentence which evoke a caricaturelike humorous image. Some researchers view this as a byproduct of getting in contact with western literature through translation Whereas this kind of short, thematic prose has a long history in classical Persian literature. Using the theory of intertextuality, this article will try to reveal the origins of this type of prose in classical Persian literature by examining Obeid Zakani's prose as the best known classical example of this apparently new found type. Obeid's short and humorous prose style contains some sentences that have a carikalamature structure of Parviz shapour's. who are Creator of carikalamature. Therefore in this article his prose examples have been examined for the characteristics of carikalamature like satire, simplicity of expression, pictorial representation of sentences, briefness, artistic arrangement of words. Also The differences between Obaid's semi-carikalamatures and. - - carikalamature s are pointed out. Finally, according to Shapour's acquaintance with the works of Obeid the assumption that the carikalamature is rooted in western literary tradition is incorrect and it is better to know this kind of reviving an old form in a new format.
