Abstract

This research, as a systematic review, has done an in-depth study of the field of contemporary calligraphy in Iran and seeks to categorize, typify and analyze the diversity of research done in this field. This study seeks to answer two basic questions: 1- What is the current state of calligraphy research? 2- How are calligraphy researches categorized and what factors have been effective in this variety of categories?

In this regard, by examining more than 200 writings and studies in the field of calligraphy, it was found that the researches have moved from the traditional methods of historiography to scientific and critical research methods. These researches are classified in various categories and groups based on the topic, purpose, and implementation style. The coexistence and impact of different arts in the contemporary world, as well as the necessities related to the market and economy of art, has pushed calligraphy and related studies to a new direction.

This research showed that in recent decades, researchers have tried to analyze and interpret calligraphy works by using contemporary theories and new approaches, and this has led to the creation of new interpretations and new insights in evaluating and understanding calligraphy as a form.
