Babak Roozbeh , Shahrokh Hekmat (Author in Charge), Mohsen Izadiar

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: With the beginning of the Sacred Defense, the daily notes of the warriors, the narration of the events of the war in the reports of the journalists, transformed the memoirs of the Sacred Defense into a literary trend in the country. Gradually, these narratives were combined with literary techniques, artistic taste and the use of special characteristics to gradually form the dominant literary trend in the country"s literature. In this study, we have tried to introduce memoir writing as a type independent of other narratives by presenting our proposed elements.

METHODOLOGY: This research was conducted with a theoretical study using the library research method and the analysis method. The scope and population of the study is the book "Frequency 1160" by Fazlullah Saberi, published by Sureh Mehr Publishing.

FINDINGS: Memoirs are always examined with other literary genres such as stories, novels, biographies, travelogues, etc. and are not considered independent of other narratives. Memoir writing is a genre independent of other narratives that can be a platform for other literary and historical genres. The most important characteristic of memoirs is citation, which distinguishes it from other genres. The suggestions presented in this research were prepared by studying the existing sources in order to present complete elements and to be able to establish their place in the elements of memory.

CONCLUSION: In the work under study, the pivotal role of the element of time in the coherence of the narrative, direct and indirect characterization of the radio staff, first-person point of view, precise and documented location, use of spoken and standard prose, have added to the believability of the narrative. Also, the new subject, the issue of media resistance, and the presence of authentic documents are other important features of "Frequency 1160". By observing the proposed narrative elements, the author has been able to create a coherent, documented, and influential work that has an independent position from other literary genres in the field of sustainability literature and is also an independent work in its own right.
