Abstract
If we admit that culture is a kind of text, we must inevitably accept that “The History of Jahāngushā” is a text that is the point of contact of different ideologies, each of which forms a part of Iranian identity and culture. Contrary to formalist approaches, an attempt has been made here to revisit the text based on those approaches of literary criticism that read the text in a dialectical and interactive connection with the material contexts of its production. Therefore, first, the ideologies in the text are introduced and analyzed, and after determining their role in shaping the ideological system of the History of Jahāngushā, their discourse contradictions are revealed, and finally, the impact of these ideologies on the text is discussed. Various factors such as historical context, social, cultural, and ideological institutions have been influential in the composition of this text and its linguistic form. It seems that more than the linguistic and expressive complexities, it is the discoursal, ideological, and cultural contradictions that have caused confusion and complexity of the text. Analyzing and retrieving the ideological currents of the text not only explains the reasons for its different readings but also helps the reader to reach a new and different judgment of the literary, historical, and cultural aspects of the text.

Abstract
In the republishing of the Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, Jamalzadeh made changes so that the language, expression, tone and writing style of Mirza Habib Isfahani were altered. His changes in the “fragments of old phrases” and “morphology and syntax of sentences” aroused the reaction of the literary community of that time. While Jamalzadeh retained the main framework of the book, his method does not correspond to any of the technical terms for critical correction of texts. In order to understand the whys and wherefores of his method for republishing the book, the present study compared and analyzed three works: Mirza Habib Isfahani’s manuscript, Phillott’s edition, and Jamalzadeh’s reprint. Twenty percent of the volume of the book was selected for analysis: the author’s preface and fifteen chapters (five chapters from the beginning, middle and end of the work). The results indicate that the changes can be subsumed under three categories: 1. reduction through deletion or replacement; 2. expansion and finding equivalents; 3. transposition of parts of speech. The largest volume of changes in the text were created by expansions and finding equivalents for words, phrases and sentences and transpositions of parts of speech while deletions and replacements were used the least. These changes serve two main purposes: 1. strengthening the fictional elements of the book and 2. bringing the story closer to the understanding of the common people based on the capabilities of the popular language, in the continuation of the simple writing movement of the Qajar era. However, Jamalzadeh inflicted irreparable blows on the prose rhetoric of Mirza Habib’s translation.

Abstract
Articles related to the Shahnameh and Ferdowsi have been analyzed from their inception (1915) up to the end of 2006 across several studies. These studies have pointed to the social contexts of the quantitative growth of the articles and the reasons for the rise and fall of Shahnameh studies; however, their main focus has been on the pathology and weaknesses concerning the subjects, content, and structure of the articles. The mentioned studies have paid less attention to the degree of innovation in these researches concerning research methods, hypotheses, and new findings—which are among the most important goals of scholarly articles. The present study examines two fundamental indicators of scholarly articles from 2007 to 2011 on the subject of the Shahnameh and Ferdowsi, aiming to investigate innovation in the main structure of these articles, namely the problem statement and research method. During the last five years of the 1380s (2000s), 210 scholarly articles were produced, categorized into nine thematic groups. In this study, using qualitative content analysis, the degree of innovation and scientific trendsetting of the articles were examined based on determined indicators. Among the mentioned thematic categories, "textual studies of the Shahnameh," "comparative studies of the Shahnameh with other works," and "character studies of the Shahnameh" have higher frequencies. Compared to previous periods, content and methodological deficiencies in the articles of the second half of the 1380s have decreased, and new perspectives and approaches have emerged, making these articles, especially in the "textual studies of the Shahnameh" section, trendsetters.
