Summary/Abstract: From a Circular Dramaturgy to an Image of the Oriental Concept of Time: Case Study of a Persian Historical Drama. The present study invites us to discover a new narrative strategy in the way a Persian dramatist chooses to recount his historical drama. By creating holes or narrative obstacles over the moments of traditional topoi, he explodes the linear narrative and chooses a cyclical, even helical form to complete the fault of the initial narrative. The narrative form adopted broadly resembles a temporal and philosophical vision of history in its oriental approach, which is similarly considered cyclical.
