  • “The Spinning of the Mill Lightens My Soul”1
    PERSICA XVII, 2001 “THE SPINNING OF THE MILL LIGHTENS MY SOUL”1 Asghar Seyed-Gohrab Leiden University Introduction Within a more than four centuries old relationship between Dutch and Persian culture, there are a wide range of subjects luring the researcher to launch an investigation.2 One may, for instance, choose to examine the Persian names of flowers in Dutch, or to linger on Rembrandt’s interest in the Persian miniature painting, or to study the 17th century translation of Sa‘di’s (d. 1292) Bustan in Dutch and so on and so forth.3 As a native Per- sian living in the country of tulips, clogs and mills, I have chosen to study the mill in Persian literature. In recent years I have been more and more fascinated by the mills in the foggy, flat and green Dutch landscape, while being constantly reminded of the wide- spread literary metaphors, popular beliefs, riddles, proverbs and folksongs based on this ancient invention of mankind in Persian literature. It should be, however, stated at the outset that although I deal briefly with the relationship between ancient Persian windmills and their Western counterparts, this essay does not pretend to peruse the link between these windmills; the study is an attempt to demonstrate how the mill, whether a windmill, watermill or handmill, is presented in Persian literary sources as well as in popular ex- pressions. Moreover, a study of the mill at literary level is conductive; especially since in molinological literature, Persian literary sources are usually neglected. It is generally believed that the Persians played a major role in the invention, the development and the spread of the mill.

  • The Shahname of Firdausi: Persian Educational Repository
    2012 International Conference on Management and Education Innovation IPEDR vol.37 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore The Shahname of Firdausi: Persian Educational Repository + Mostafa Bahraman and ANISWAL Abd Ghani School of Humanities, University Sains Malaysia Abstract. The Shahname of Firdausi is the longest and oldest national epic poem of Iranians and Persian speakers around the world. The Shahname is regarded by Persian speakers as a literary masterpiece; it is also a repository of Persian’s history and cultural values. Firdausi wrote the Shahname in “pure” Persian. He eschewed words drawn from the Arabic language which had by his time infiltrated the Persian language following the Arab conquest of Persia in the 7th century. He did this to preserve and purify the Persian language. It is believed that the main reason the modern Persian language today mirrors the language of the Shahname is due to Firdausi (Yousefi, 1969 & Safa, 2002). In fact the Shahname prescribes the modern Persian language. The Shahname is the mold which produced the bases of contemporary Persian language. This paper aims to focus on selected aspects of the language of the Shahname and its significance as the blueprint for the modern Persian language. Many Persian experts believe that studying the Shahname is a prerequisite to achieving mastery of the Persian language. Therefore this study proposes that the Shahname of Firdausi is a valuable resource for those seeking to be familiar with Persian language and literature. Keywords: The Shahname, Firdausi, Persian language. 1. Introduction other spellings are Shahnameh, Shahnama, and Shah-Nama (is a huge) (ﺷﺎهﻨﺎﻣﻪ :The Shahname (Persian poetic opus composed by the Persian poet “Firdausi” (another spelling is Ferdowsi) around 1000 AD.

  • The Cases of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe Dissertation P
    THE MIDDLE EAST IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA: THE CASES OF RALPH WALDO EMERSON, NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, AND EDGAR ALLAN POE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ahmed Nidal Almansour ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Steven S. Fink, Adviser Professor Jared Gardner _______________________ Professor Elizabeth Hewitt Adviser English Copyright by Ahmed Nidal Almansour 2005 ABSTRACT The presence of the Middle East in the works of American artists between the Revolution and the Civil War is pervasive and considerable. What makes this outlandish element of critical significance is that its proliferation coincided with the emerging American literary identity. The wide spectrum of meanings that was related to it adds even more significance to its critical value. In its theoretical approach, this work uses Raymond Schwab’s The Oriental Renaissance as a ground for all its arguments. It considers the rise of the Oriental movement in America to be a continuation of what had already started of Oriental researches in Europe. Like their counterparts in Europe, the American writers who are selected for this study were genuinely interested in identifying with the Oriental thought. The European mediation, however, should not be allowed to hold any significance other than pointing to the fact that French, German, and English Orientalist organizations were more technically equipped. The sentiment of identification with the East resonated equally on both sides of the Atlantic. This work investigates three cases from antebellum America: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.

  • Keywords Iranian Traditional Art, Craft, Mentoring System, Islamic Chivalry (Futuwwah), Old Texts and Documents
    International Journal of Arts 2015, 5(1): 1-7 DOI: 10.5923/j.arts.20150501.01 A Glance at Iranian Traditional Art Education History (Referring to Old Texts and Documents) Neda Seifi1,*, Hasan Bolkhari Ghehi2, Mehdi Mohammadzadeh1 1Tabriz Islamic Art University, Tabriz, Iran 2University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Abstract Passing through old texts and documents, we encounter many noteworthy points about Iranian traditional art education. Despite the valuable sources, a clear scheme of this art is still missing. For sure, the excellent system of education known as mentoring system has led to such an outstanding past. Meanwhile, some movements such as Islamic chivalry, known as Futuwwah seem to be very influential. Futuwwah was a movement based on ethical principles such as chivalry, generosity, athletics and manliness. Iran researchers believe that this flow has been present since Alexander‟s attack to Iran (334 B.C). Howsoever, Futuwwah became more popular later by the arrival of Islam and it was divided into different classes and sects where the main principle was magnanimity and chivalry. The most important category included chivalrous craftsmen who were actively working since the 12th and 13th (A.D) centuries. These craftsmen had their own doctrine written in Futuwwahnamahs. Study of all these sources may open an entry towards an unknown yet mystical, magical and ethical world. Here in this article the writer aims to focus on the main problem which is tracing the roots of Iranian Islamic art education. The intended procedure is going through as many texts as one is allowed to deal with in such a short time.

Books in the series are academic monographs of intellectual distinction that mark a significant advance in the field. Isfahan and its Palaces Statecraft, Shi ’ ism and the Architecture of Conviviality in Early Modern Iran Sussan Babaie This beautifully illustrated history of Safavid Isfahan (1501–1722) explores the architectural and urban forms and networks of socio-cultural action that reflected a distinctly early modern and Perso-Shi ’ i practice of kingship. An immense building campaign, initiated in 1590/1, transformed Isfahan from a provincial, medieval and largely Sunni city into an urban-centered representation of the first Imami Shi ’ i empire in the history of Islam. The historical process of Shi ’ ification of Safavid Iran, and the deployment of the arts in situating the shifts in the politico-religious agenda of the imperial household, informs Sussan Babaie’s study of palatial architecture and urban environments of Isfahan and the earlier capitals of Tabriz and Qazvin. Babaie argues that, since the Safavid claim presumed the inheritance both of the charisma of the Shi ’ i Imams and of the aura of royal splendor integral to ancient Persian notions of kingship, a ceremonial regime was gradually devised in which access and proximity to the shah assumed the contours of an institutionalized form of feasting.

In this case, the views of Farabi, Avicenna, Khajeh Nasir and other thinkers can be referred to, such that it will be possible to establish a common attribute among the ideal king society, philosopher king and Imam or Sultan within the framework of Iranian – Islamic political thought. Of course all thinkers consider some distinguishing features for the head and ruler based on their own thoughts and analyses. However, accepting the belief of “Imamate”, [The Shia Islamic Doctrine], the Shiites placed the concept of legitimacy within a specific framework based on the rule of grace and also Qur-anic exact text.

    GHAREHGOZLOU, BAHAREH, Ph.D., August 2018 TRANSLATION STUDIES A STUDY OF PERSIAN-ENGLISH LITERARY TRANSLATION FLOWS: TEXTS AND PARATEXTS IN THREE HISTORICAL CONTEXTS (261 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: Françoise Massardier-Kenney This dissertation addresses the need to expand translation scholarship through the inclusion of research into different translation traditions and histories (D’hulst 2001: 5; Bandia 2006; Tymoczko 2006: 15; Baker 2009: 1); the importance of compiling bibliographies of translations in a variety of translation traditions (Pym 1998: 42; D’hulst 2010: 400); and the need for empirical studies on the functional aspects of (translation) paratexts (Genette 1997: 12–15). It provides a digital bibliography that documents what works of Persian literature were translated into English, by whom, where, and when, and explores how these translations were presented to Anglophone readers across three historical periods—1925–1941, 1942–1979, and 1980–2015— marked by important socio-political events in the contemporary history of Iran and the country’s shifting relations with the Anglophone West. Through a methodical search in the library of congress catalogued in OCLC WorldCat, a bibliographical database including 863 editions of Persian-English literary translations along with their relevant metadata—titles in Persian, authors, translators, publishers, and dates and places of publication—was compiled and, through a quantitative analysis of this bibliographical data over time, patterns of translation publication across the given periods
