  • Propaganda Broadcasts and Cold War Politics the Carter Administration’S Outreach to Islam
    Propaganda Broadcasts and Cold War Politics The Carter Administration’s Outreach to Islam ✣ Javier Gil Guerrero Introduction The main international events that shaped and determined Jimmy Carter’s presidency—the Egyptian-Israeli Camp David accords, the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan—took place in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Carter’s achievements and failures in the region underscored the Middle East’s centrality for U.S. interests. Above all, those landmark events signaled the necessity of a new approach to the area and to Muslims more generally. Especially in the cases of Iran and Afghanistan, the rise of militant Islam was interpreted as a phenomenon that needed to be urgently addressed because of its potential to shape the future of the region. The sudden emergence of anti-American sentiment among Muslims added a sense of urgency to the issue. Prompted by revolutionary Iran’s hostility toward the United States, the U.S. effort to influence foreign Muslims took the shape of a public diplomacy campaign that would dispel misunderstandings and fallacies about the United States and its stance in the region. The U.S. government had to underscore its goodwill toward Islam and convey the message that it welcomed the role of religion in the Middle East. The hostage crisis and the growing popularity of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini among Muslims elevated the issue’s importance among U.S. officials on the National Security Council (NSC) staff and at the State Department. A public diplomacy and propaganda effort specifically directed at Muslims was not a novel idea.

  • Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran
    Negotiating a Position: Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran Parmis Mozafari Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Music January 2011 The candidate confIrms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2011 The University of Leeds Parmis Mozafari Acknowledgment I would like to express my gratitude to ORSAS scholarship committee and the University of Leeds Tetly and Lupton funding committee for offering the financial support that enabled me to do this research. I would also like to thank my supervisors Professor Kevin Dawe and Dr Sita Popat for their constructive suggestions and patience. Abstract This research examines the changes in conditions of music and dance after the 1979 revolution in Iran. My focus is the restrictions imposed on women instrumentalists, dancers and singers and the ways that have confronted them. I study the social, religious, and political factors that cause restrictive attitudes towards female performers. I pay particular attention to changes in some specific musical genres and the attitudes of the government officials towards them in pre and post-revolution Iran. I have tried to demonstrate the emotional and professional effects of post-revolution boundaries on female musicians and dancers. Chapter one of this thesis is a historical overview of the position of female performers in pre-modern and contemporary Iran.

  • The Study of Mythical Semiotics of Matriarchy in Shahnameh
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 2 No. 8 August 2014 The study of mythical semiotics of matriarchy in Shahnameh Eshagh Toghyani, a lecturer & a faculty member of social sciences of University of Isfahan- Iran, Persian literature group. Email:[email protected] Tel: +989131097523 Khodayar Mokhtari, PhD student of lyrical literature, University of Isfahan-Iran. Office addresses: Esfahan University of Technology & Esfahan University of Farhangian. Emai:[email protected] Tel: +989132294900 Abstract-Ferdosi's Shahnameh is the history of Iranian people fiction .What we read from Shahnameh is undoubtedly a subtle hint of a secret, mystery, sign and allusion. Accordingly, one of the most important issues in this venerable work is signs that represent evolution of social institutions. Therefore, the history of changes in matriarchy, forming a family and some points about the prominent role of women in society can be deduced from its stories. In this study the authors have considered Barthe, Culler and Ekou's theories to analyze the signs like females' authority, their right of ownership, their position and their characters. Key words: Ferdosi’s Shahnameh, signs, myth, matriarchy, position, ownership. I. Introduction Language is a system of signs and is formed from the combination of a cause (outlook) and an effect (mind and meaning).The connection between them is made through a contraction, a rule or an agreement that are accepted in the society. The form of language is considered very important since it can lead us to understand its infinite hidden meanings. The constituents of the language along with their signs should be studied to grasp the meanings.

Literature encompasses all aspects of human life as in love and affection, friendship and loyalty, self-sacrifice, justice and cruelty, manhood and humanity, are concepts that have been emphasized in various forms in the literature of different nations of the world. Poets and writers have endeavored to be heretics in the form of words and sentences and to promote these concepts and ideas to their community. Literature is still one of the most important identifiers of nations and ethnicities that no other factor has been able to capture. As a rich treasure trove of informative and educational material, Persian literature has played an important role in the development and reinforcement of social ideas and values in society, which this mission continues to do best. In this article, we attempt to explain the status of Persian literature and its importance. Keywords: language, literature, human, life, religion, culture.

  • Comparison of the General Structure of Shahnameh Ferdowsi and Garshaspname Asadi Toosi and Iliad and Odyssey
    COMPARISON OF THE GENERAL STRUCTURE OF SHAHNAMEH FERDOWSI AND GARSHASPNAME ASADI TOOSI AND ILIAD AND ODYSSEY Zarnosh Mushtaq*, Phd student Persian language and literature ,Imam khomeini international university, Qazvin, Iran *Corresponding author email : [email protected] Dr. Maryam.Ghaforyan, Staff members in Persian language and literature ,Imam khomeini international university, Qazvin, Iran. Abstract. The article reviews and compares the stylistic styles of the Shahnameh's symbols of Ferdowsi and Garshaspname Asadi Toosi and Iliad and Odyssey of Homer in literary and intellectual terms. Also, in this research, we will examine the characterization and imaging and weighting in Garshasbnameh, Iliad, Odyssey and Shahnameh. The results showed that the use of artistic traits in filling the weight of the poems of Iliad and Odyssey Homer and Shahmanah or Garshasbnameh was used by the well-known authors of this work as well as adjectives to complete the weight of the poetry. They formulate a combination of trait and personality name formula that fulfills the weighting requirements of the poem by applying them. On the other hand, in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, replacing the artistic trait, instead of the name of the people, serves a different structure of the womb that this structure not only helps in observing the weight of his poem but also provides a variety of vocabulary to express precise and precise details in the story. In the form of the content of Shahnameh and the Iliad and the epic Odyssey, there is a logical realm of urgency that ends with the rule of Ghazireh. Epic humans are signs of paradox. They are humble in their superiority and are victorious.
