Friedrich Schleiermacher was the first who introduced hermeneutics in two branches including comparison and association, the former is based on comparison of concepts, and words, and the later is physical objectification of concepts. In fact, it is association of ideas, a new method to get rid of the traditional concepts. Therefore the new method leads to the innovative interpretations and illustrations which are suspended to be revealed, hence it produces what Derrida called Difference, Privileging here the hermeneutics of suspicion, the function of differences or contrasts refers to what Derrida extrapolated as Differance or to differ. These innovative ways of looking at the world, pave the way for new perceptions which are not revealed promptly, instead, challenges and penetrates the readers to discover the new conception which further makes some lingering in the new perception. In this sense, the slowness of new perception can become the other manifestation of Derridaian term, Différance(defer). Considering such a postmodern prospective in mind, this study is to illustrate these manifestations in some of the poems by John Keats. The authors of this paper believe that the essence or the motifs in most of the artistic works of these two poets respond to a dualistic notion which is – or might be – an ongoing process in literary criticism. This study tries to compare hermeneutics and Différance in some of Keats’s poems and it shows the relation among speech act theory and hermeneutics and Différance in his poems.

The present paper is to find traces of postcolonial discourse and its main characteristic, namely legitimization of the Western culture and its values. Seeking this aim, and considering the ideas of celebrated postcolonial scholars like Saeed, and Fanon, the researchers studied the full text of Edward Browne's diary "A year amongst the Persian" written in 1888, in qajar era. The text was studied to get an impression on the way Iranian culture was represented. There were about more than 40 cultural cases in which a sort of Self/ Other representation was obvious. They were all introduced in the methodology section with a message under each case that uncovers the hidden ideological attitudes toward our culture. Moreover, these cases were juxtaposed with their Persian translation (by Zabiholah Mansoori) to see how these partial cases were translated into Persian. We got the point that he mostly used "addition" and "deletion" technique to foil the postcolonial attitudes of the author.

This article compares the motif invulnerability in greek , Persian and Germanic mythology , specially in three greatest world literary epics : "Iliad , Shahnameh and Nibelungenlied " . The central figures of the epics are mythical gods and Heroes, supernatural beings and wonder animals . Mythology is about myths and myths belong to people and addresses their origin, history, ancestors, and heroes .It is also about magical qualities of heroes like invulnerability. Invulnerability is one of the major motifs in mythology . Invulnerable heroes have in spite of their strength a blind spot and a deadly weakness which can actually lead to their downfall .Although Achilles , Siegfried and Esfandiar qualify as great , mighty men of these great works and have powers of invulnerability eventually die and their death is a direct consequence of the deception. As these three epics root in Indo-germanic languages , we can assume that they may have a similar history and culture . This article attempts to find such similarities of the mythical motif " Invulnerability ".

This paper tends to investigate Immorality written by Andre Gide, famous French writer of the 20th century. This research studies imagines of soil element in the Immorality which is seen frequently in reverie of characters in this book. We show how author’s point of view and imagination result in speculations subject to this element, creating images to show internal spiritualities of characters in this fiction. This paper tends to study imagination of the writer through his reveries and created images on soil element. There are some images used in this work subject to the above element and it is evidence on dualistic vision of Gide. This paper studies unconscious tendencies and the reveries appeared frequently in writer’s consciousness. Toward this goal, we use Gaston Bachelard's literary criticism approach. Based on this, literary images on soil element let us recognize speculation of Gide.

Nathaniel Hawthorne as one of the most famous and effective Nineteenth century American writers has always been under consideration from different perspectives. This article tries to have a closer look at the relation between science and morality from the writer’s point of view. There have been many debates over the idea that whether Nathaniel Hawthorne focused on in individualistic matters such as , the relation between man and God, repentance, and return to spiritual self, or in a wider scale tried to seek the roots of human problems in the observance or non- observance of social matters. Investigation has shown that Hawthorne has tried to present social morality matters. This article tries to shed more light on the relation between science and morality as one of the social morality matters. Considering improper use of science as a supplementary part of Hawthorne’s writing style in three short stories of “ Birthmark”, Rapaccini’s daughter”, and “ Ethan Brand” is what this article tries to achieve and present the writer’s point of view in this regard.
