Study of cross-cultural dialogism process in Crasy for Elsa- intertextual approach:Intertextual approach as one of the great achievements of post-structuralism opened a new horizon in criticism. The term “intertextuality” was first introduced as Julia Kristeva’s translation of Mikhail Bakhtin’s conception of the “dialogic”. According to this approach no text is independent and it is affected by the previous texts. People like Genette, Barthe, Riffaterre and Jenny also began to spread this approach to literary criticism. Contemporary French poet and writer, Louis Aragon, also tried to take advantage of intertextual relations in the discovery of convergences in the world's collective memory and sees cognitive features of each nation such distinctions that can build together a global culture. Relying on the intertextuality approach, in this research we have tried to study the intertextuality in “Crazy for Elsa” written by Louis Aragon and We have also tried to study the process of dialogism and the importance of literary thinking in transfer of a sense of solidarity that defined in the united in diversity.
Widely exploited in different fields of study and practice in information and communication sciences and discussed in research related to the cultural world (museums, libraries, and cultural centers), the notion of mediation has not ceased to extend, despite its conceptual diversity, to other spheres of the human and social sciences. Considered as a vehicle of the process of semiosis, this notion interposes itself in the heart of the semiotic reflection as an instance in charge of passing on the meaning. This study focuses on the space of the city, its components, and the practices that take place there. It inquires how the bridge as an architectural element in the space of a city is able to function as semiotic mediator by its status, the practices that take place there, and the values that it carries. We will try to show through the study of our object, the Khadjou bridge in Isfahan, Iran, how this mediating role is implanted at the cognitive as well as at the emotional level of its citizens. © 2022 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
