Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Postmodernism is a combination of modernism and mythology and is a return to pre-modernism. Moniro Ravanipour is one of the writers who turned to the style of postmodernism and used the elements of this school in some of his works. The purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of this school in the works of this author.

METHODOLOGY: In this research, based on post-modern characteristics and descriptive-analytical method, the works of Moniro Ravanipour were investigated.

FINDINGS: In these works, with the use of elements such as: the involvement of the narrator in the story, criticism of the story in the story itself, changing the direction of the story, using fantasy characters, changing the roles of characters, uncertainty, symbolism and intertextuality, the postmodern style emerged as metafiction. By creating postmodern works, the author tried to convey his point of view to the audience in an indirect way.

CONCLUSION: Postmodernism has become a platform for the expression of the author"s opinions in the form of novels and stories and has provided the possibility to create different voices in the story.
