Abstract
Adaptation studies in Iran, due to the lack of attention to proper theoretical foundations, has a great vacuum, which has led to the non-widespread of this interdisciplinary topic among Persian researches. Now, this research with a pathological view of the existing situation and by applying a suitable approach, in addition to designing and proposing a suitable approach for adaptation research, it is also trying to do a comparative analysis of one of the adaptation works and its case study. For this purpose, in this research, the approach of Neo-formalism, which has the ability to be used in both literature and cinema, is based on narratology and based on it, the comparative reading of time and place in the story and movie "White nights" Fyodor Dostoevsky, Saeed Aqiqi and Farzad Motmen have been discussed. The neo-formalism approach discusses the elements of form in such a way that the audience has an active and effective role in the narration process. Dostoyevsky's story "White Nights" is a work that takes place in 19th century Russia. Based on this story, Saeed Aqiqi has written a screenplay with the same title and turned it into a movie.Considering that the setting in Saeed Aqiqi's screenplay is changed compared to the original work, it is considered a native and iranian work. In the upcoming article, the change of time and place of the literary work from Russia of the 19th century to Tehran of the 21st century is examined from the perspective of neoformalism. Therefore, in the upcoming article, the change of time and place of the literary work from Russia of the 19th century to Tehran of the 21st century is examined from the perspective of neoformalism. It is also discussed how a long story by Dostoyevsky, with the change of time and place to the Iranian ecosystem and culture, still maintains its important elements and is considered an important work.
