Adaptation of Bakhtin's carnival characteristics in Persian "parody" based on the principles of contemporary criticism by Ahmad Goli, Yadollah Nasrollahi, Fereshteh Ahikhteh

“…The interpretation and deconstruction of polyphonic conversational logic within the infrastructure of creative misreading and the humor in carnival discourse and parody can be conducted in terms of employing Russian Formalist notion of familiarization,  the disconnection and isolation of text from normal structure in French deconstruction and the psychological evolution of humor to creativity.The result of this descriptive study, an analysis based on library and internet sources, indicates that Persian parodies share intertextual features and borrow from polyphonic language of Carnival. …”
