Abstract :

 Intertextual links are one of the new approaches in the reading and critique of texts in the theory of genetic transmutation. According to this approach, no text is independent of other texts and each text is an intertext derived from previous texts that will be present in later texts. Gerard Genet, one of the theorists in the field of intertextual links, formulated his theory of transtextuality in five axes, one of which is the intertextuality axis. He has divided intertextuality into three types: intertextual connection, explicit-intentional, covert-intentional and implicit, and has also defined and limited the conceptual scope of each of these interpretations. Relying on a descriptive-analytical method, this study comparatively examines the intertextual aspects of genet with the theory of Islamic rhetoric in the treatise of Hadayegh Al-Anwar by Mohammad Sadegh Qomshami. Accordingly, the types of explicit-intentional, covert-intentional and implicit intertextuals and their comparative aspects in Islamic rhetoric, including proverbs, allusions, adaptations, allegories, allusions, guarantees, resolutions and contracts, are examined in this text. One of the objectives of this research is to study the use of previous texts based on the theory of genet and their adaptation to the theory of Islamic rhetoric. The result of the research indicates that the most common type of intertextuality is implicit intertextuality and in accordance with Islamic rhetoric, it is a kind of allusion. After that, hidden-intentional intertextuality has the highest frequency. Qomshami art in how to use the previous texts and use the intertextual element and create an original and innovative connection between the previous texts and the present text has artistically attracted and convinced the audience.
