Hypotextual Genrologie

The first generation of intertextuality was developed with Kristeva

and Barthes and expanded with the second generation theorists’

particularly Jenny and Rifatterre and has been used as a means of

artistic and literary studies. Then, Gerard Genette with transtexuality

design makes a huge leap in the field of the study. Transtexuality

focuses on possible relationships existing among the texts and is of

five types: Intertextuality, Paratextuality, Métatextuality,

Architextuality and Hypertexyuality. The Subject of literary-artistic

genrologie is one of the five topics of interest in transtexuality where

architextuality is one of its five kinds and dedicated exclusively to this

topic. However, in the hypertexyuality too, a substantial portion has

been discussed in genrologie with a specific name called " hypotextual

genrologie ".

The text explores the hypotextual with the study of two text where

presence of first text is attached to the second text. Hypotextuality is

studied with the review of variety of texts that have dérivation

relationship i.e. the second text is taken from the first text. In this

relationship, Gennet identifies six basic types of hypotextual: Pastiche,

Charge, Forgerie, Parodie, Travestissement and Transposition

(permutations). The six types are divided into two major categories of

Imitation and Transformation. The current article attempts to briefly

introduce these kinds of genrologie. The aforementioned genrologie

can be helpful in literary researches especially Persian literature.
