Abstract
Intertextuality as one of the methods in art criticism has been considered in recent years. For this critical approach, which seeks to examine the effects of texts on each other, various methods have been identified, the most important of which can be seen in the views of Bakhtin, Kristeva, Barthes, Genette and Rifatter. Gerard Genette, meanwhile, has carefully described the various types of intertextuality, namely "Arch textuality", "Paratextuality", "metatextuality" and "hyper textuality". Jamshid Khanian is one of the well-known writers of children and adolescent literature who pays special attention to the choice of subject and narrative methods. For this reason, his works are always considered by critics and audiences. He has researched the relationship between cinema and literature, and in choosing the subject, theme and characters of some of his novels, he has been influenced by selected works of Iranian and world cinema. This descriptive-analytical study seeks to examine the intertextual relationship between the two novels "The Dwarf Emperor of Lilliput Land" and "Edson Arants Donasimento and His Himalayan Rabbit" and two world-famous works entitled " The fabulous destiny of Amelie Poulain " and " Inglorious Basterds ". The results show that there is a relationship between Khanian's novels and the mentioned films in terms of selecting the main and sub-characters and their actions, narrative methods, elements and objects. A relationship that can be evaluated under the two types of "Arch textuality" and "hyper textuality".
