Abstract

In Manaqib al-Arifin, Aflaki gives a report of the sonnet "Oh what a colorless and unmarked person I am" This narrative shows the confrontation of the three realms of literature, painting and historical report. This research examines and analyzes this issue with a descriptive and analytical approach based on the theories of mythology, iconography and painting.
The aim of the research is to outline the relationship between these three realms (literature, painting, and historical report) and, finally, how the discourses formed in the interaction between Aflaki's report and Maulana's sonnet confront and combine.
In the three realms of literature, painting, and historical reporting, there is a structure of exclusion and composition: Out-of-text confrontations based on two discourses, one of which (Gorji Khatun) believes in image representation and iconography And the other (Maulana) considers representation impossible And contrasts within the text that show the transition to a different situation with contrasts. In the extratextual confrontations in the first discourse, the image is transformed into the word In the second discourse, man- word is formed Finally, with the formation of a mysterious language, they enter the common timeless realm of language . A realm that removes all the manifestations of the body, i.e. color, image, and language.
