Assistant Professor Of Persian Language and Literature Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz rn rn rn rn rn rn According to the intertextul approach there is no text that is self-sufficient; rather,in this approach, it is supposed that every text is an intertext from previous texts and for following texts. In this essay, first different aspects of text and intertextuality are explained and then, a tale from Marzbanname is analyzed according to this approach. At the end,it has been shown that as Barthes, Bakhtin, Keristova, Genette, Todorov and other adherents of Intertextulity approach have emphasized, there is no authentic and original text; therefore, the mentioned tale from Marzbanname , like other texts, is a retelling of previous texts.

Abstract
Aims: The environmental crisis in today's world is one of the biggest challenges facing modern man, which requires urgent attention. With the power of wide influence and in-depth analysis, the media can play an important role in raising awareness and shaping the public attitude and behavior about this crisis.. This research aims to represent the relationship between modern humans and the environment in cinema.
Materials & Methods: By reviewing the Iranian films related to the environment, the film “So Far, So Close" was examined as a case study. In this research, Roland Barthes' semiotics method has been used to analyze the complexity and depth of hidden meaning in the film.
Findings: Two types of relationship between humans and environment can be considered. In the first type, the relationship should be depicted through the display of scenes where humans are enchanted by technology and only look at nature as a source of profit and pleasure. In the second type, the relationship is through the display of scenes where humans understand the weaknesses of technology against the power of nature. Human salvation should be depicted in harmonious and sustainable interactions with nature. The film effectively shows the importance of the relationship with nature, while nature is represented as a source that gives meaning to his life.
Conclusion: Knowledge and technology, the two tools of modern human dominance, are powerless against the power of nature. Therefore, an effective relationship with environment can be salvific for both.

The research method is descriptive, and its theoretical framework is Roland Barthes' findings in the field of structure of narration. He defines three levels of function, action and narration for structure of narration as the first level is critical. Analysis of functions will be possible only by understanding the reason of five heremeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic and cultural codes. In narratology representation of movie "Bashu, The Little Stranger" in order to understand the meaning of Identity, it was concluded that the semantic and symbolic codes have the highest reasoning, and iterative and focal reasoning of movie is the unity of social identities under the shadow of national identity.
