Abstract
Modernist novel and short story have played a significant role in modern retouching of mythical narratives and in their recreation in the contemporary narrative literature. One of the major reasons for the particular attention of these novels and short stories to mythical roots is the necessity that the recent authors feel due to alterations in social conditions as well as the fundamental transformations in human’s intellect and attitude. The disorder in today’s chaotic world, the discourses of which are full of contradictions, irregularities, and rule aversion has intrigued today’s man in incoherent, nonlinear and discontinuous narratives abundant with temporal disorders, a characteristic which has a rich background in mythical narratives. A prominent writer in contemporary Persian literature is Shahriyar Mandanipour, the works of whom can resemble mythical narratives in terms of both the structure and the processing of some elements of story, specially the element of time. This study attempts to demonstrate that just like in some mythical narratives, in some of the stories by Mandanipour, 1- time is qualitative and mental not quantitative and objective; 2- time takes its validity from the narrated event or phenomenon; and 3- time is circular and cyclic not linear and straight. Of course, confirming these resemblances does not necessarily imply that Shahriar Mandanipour has consciously been influenced by mythical narratives

Abstract
In this paper, Persian short storyis studied in the light ofTzvetanTodorov’s Narrative Theory. The hypothesis of this research is that there are various types of relations among the sequences, and each relation serves one or more functions. For this purpose, seven collections of Persianshort stories written by outstanding writers were selected. These collections consist of 63 short stories, beginningwith Jamalzadeh, the founder of this genre in Persian literature, and ending with Ahmad Mahmoud covering a period of fifty years. After analyzing deductively the selected stories it is demonstrated that there are many kinds of relations among the sequences of narratives, such as contrastive relation, memorial relation and stichomythic relation. In addition, each of these relations serves some functions, such as prescience, foregrounding of the story’s content and creation of suspense.

Abstract
The process of aesthetics is a type of thinking that encompasses various philosophical schools, particularly in the realm of art, from Plato to the present day. It is a historical phenomenon that owes its philosophical significance primarily to Kant. Kant considers beauty as an independent concept, where the pleasure derived from it is inherent to the thing itselfYuriko Saito, a theorist of aesthetics, believes that the aesthetics of everyday life addresses the shortcomings of art-based philosophical aesthetics. Accordingly, aesthetic perspectives and judgments can determine the quality of life, social and cultural ethics, and serve as a necessary means for expressing the evaluation of individuals' everyday life quality. They empower humans to fully enjoy aesthetic experiences through interactions with artifacts, the surrounding environment, and human interactions. Since narrative storytelling contains propositions and capacities that can be evaluated from the perspective of everyday life aesthetics and also possess validity in the real world, this study aims to analyze and expound upon the aesthetics of everyday life based on Saito's perspective in three short stories from the collection "Aashiqyat in the Footnotes" by Mahsa Mohebbali. The research utilizes documentary and qualitative methods, drawing upon analytical library resources. The goal is to answer the question of what the elements of everyday life aesthetics are in these works. The findings of this study in the three short stories demonstrate that the everyday life of individuals and the role of objects, places, etc. are depicted as symbols, in the form of normative escapism and defamiliarization in human interactions, etc. Despite normative escapism and defamiliarization in human interactions, the texts of the stories provide a platform for experiences that ultimately lead to the realization and judgment that beauty, ugliness, and the mundane are genuinely manifested within them.
