Derived from Adab Pazhouhi in 1395 (2016), Literary Theory and Criticism is a scientific-research journal that from the first issue (spring and summer 1395/2016) has been publishing articles in the following areas:

Most Important Topics:

•  Introducing literary theories and the paradigmatic and discourse context of their emergence and their classification in networks of theories (Meta-theory)
•  Critically considering the discourses dominating the emergence and dissemination of literary criticism and theory (discourse studies)
•  Revising thematic principles and stereotypes of criticism and theory in Iran (meta-criticism)
