Intertextuality of Rumi’s Masnavi with Quran: Author’s intentional effort and translators’ negligence
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The notion of intertextuality emphasized that all literary texts are related to or influenced by the texts prior them. However in some cases the intertextual relation between the former and the later text is specifically intentional. This specific intertextual relationship is the one that Gerad Genette called hypertextuality, which although like all intertextual relationships is depended on the relation between two concepts of the later text, hypertext and the earlier one, hypotext, pays special attention to the intentionality of the intertextual relationship. Being sensible toward this sort of deliberate relationships that the author of a hypertext crated in his/her work is one of the essentialities of translation practices. It seems that in some of the recent English translations of Rumi’s poetry the noted sensitivity on the hypertextual relationships was totally neglected and caused the text to be located in a different context. This article by shedding light on the concept of intertextual relationship between Rumi’s Masnavi and Quran, aimed to demonstrate the real context of Rumi’s poetry to those Rumi’s audiences who read his poetry in another language other than Persian.
