  • The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: a Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran
    The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Professor Muhammad Siddiq Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2013 Abstract The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Modern Persian literary histories generally characterize the decades leading up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a single episode of accumulating political anxieties in Persian poetics, as in other areas of cultural production. According to the dominant literary-historical narrative, calls for “committed poetry” (she‘r-e mota‘ahhed) grew louder over the course of the radical 1970s, crescendoed with the monarch’s ouster, and then faded shortly thereafter as the consolidation of the Islamic Republic shattered any hopes among the once-influential Iranian Left for a secular, socio-economically equitable political order. Such a narrative has proven useful for locating general trends in poetic discourses of the last five decades, but it does not account for the complex and often divergent ways in which poets and critics have reconciled their political and aesthetic commitments. This dissertation begins with the historical assumption that in Iran a question of how poetry must serve society and vice versa did in fact acquire a heightened sense of urgency sometime during the ideologically-charged years surrounding the revolution.

  • ASSOCIATION for IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020
    ASSOCIATION FOR IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی http://associationforiranianstudies.org AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS This has been an eventful year for the Association for Iranian Studies. We conducted our first ever virtual workshop in August and September. We were able to offer this virtual workshop for free because the net costs of administering it turned out to be relatively low and partially offset by the addition of a new institutional member. The relatively low cost was also important because we were able to preserve resources for our long-awaited conference at the University of Salamanca. Although participation was optional, the AIS 2020 Virtual Workshop had 122 participants and featured about 40 papers and presentations. Looking forward, we may want to consider virtual workshops to facilitate more frequent scholarly interaction between biennial conferences and/or as a way to reduce the economic threshold for participation in our biennial conferences by adding a more robust simultaneous virtual component. For the foreseeable future, however, we still have to think about how best to advance the AIS mission despite an ongoing pandemic. When we cancelled AIS 2020 in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we hoped to reschedule for 2021. Continuing pandemic conditions have made holding our conference in 2021 impractical. Therefore, AIS Council, on the recommendation of AIS Executive Committee, has decided to hold the AIS conference in Salamanca in 2022. Those who registered for AIS 2020 will have their registrations honored for AIS 2022 so long as their membership dues are up-to-date.

    ASSOCIATION FOR IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی http://associationforiranianstudies.org AIS Newsletter Volume 38, Number 1 May 2017 EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Readers, The year began with terrible news for all those whose jobs, interests and connections to loved ones requires crossing the US borders. The AIS issued a statement in response to President Trump’s executive decree, which you will find in the following pages. What you also will find is a report on a recent conference held in Kolkata on Mirza Ghalib (1797-1869), a research report on the female religious authorities (bibi otuns) of Tajikistan, a report by the editor of Iranian Studies on its recently published 50th anniversary issue, and, as usual, exciting member news, news about library acquisitions and recent activities in Persian studies programs, as well as calls for submissions and applications. The Association will soon announce plans for its 2018 conference, which due to looming travel restrictions is being relocated to Canada. For updates, please check the Association’s website from time to time. For now, let me wish all readers an animating and revitalizing summer with hopes for a more peaceful future, Mirjam Künkler, the University of Göttingen NOTE OF THE PRESIDENT It is my distinct pleasure to serve as the new President of the Association for Iranian Studies during its fiftieth anniversary.

  • Director's Report January 2017 – May 2018
    Director’s Report January 2017 – May 2018 It is a pleasure to be writing once again to report on developments within the Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies. This is my last report as Director, and I am immensely pleased by what we have been able to achieve in the three and a half years since our formal inauguration in October 2014. My successor will be named later in 2018, but I believe she or he will find an exciting, dynamic and above all productive environment in which to continue this mission! To demonstrate how far we have come in this short period, I am organizing this report differently than in the past, to highlight our progress towards each of the goals set out in the mission of the Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies (hereafter referred to as the ‘Mossavar-Rahmani Center’ or simply ‘the Center’). Since the Mossavar- Rahmani Center first opened its doors, our scholars and affiliated faculty have – to quote the original wording in our mission statement - employed a “comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to advancing the understanding of Iran and the Persian Gulf” through conducting research and teaching courses on a “broad range of topics from ancient Persia to the modern states that border the Persian Gulf.” Over the past two years in particular, we have made significant strides to provide students, faculty, the campus community, alumni and the wider public with a robust, interdisciplinary program of seminars and workshops on “the region’s role and significance in the contemporary world.” Through this aim, the Center has attracted visiting scholars (both short- and long- term) from a range of disciplines with expertise on contemporary issues of the region.
