Abstract
In each work, according to the prevailing style, a specific method and form is used to express the content. The works that are written in postmodern style are not only excluded from this matter, but their form is considered as one of the levels of signification and meaning creation, and even because of the innovations that are made in the form and form of expression. It is considered an important way to distinguish between postmodern and non-postmodern texts.The use of visual media such as photos, paintings, changing challenging fonts, changing the style of writing words or even punctuation in these works is often introduced as "playfulness" and is related to the function of narration, the way of reading. And their meaning creation has not been considered. Regardless of the playful and unconventional appearance of the work, if this method does not serve to express a thought-provoking content, the text will lose its literary quality.Finally, by dividing into three levels of editing, writing and overlapping genres, their significance was expressed and it was found that the use of visual techniques in this work is not only innovation and artificiality, but also a means connected with the content to induce postmodern connotations and meanings such as: lack of Certainty is the death of the author, multiplicity of voices, contradiction, disturbing the border of reality and non-reality,
