Mai 2002 Persian Trilogy Performed by London Symphony Orchestra, 2004 Persian Trilogy is a set of three orchestral works composed by Iranian classical musician, Behzad Ranjbaran(*1955) Ranjbaran used three episodes from Shahnameh as the basis for his music: Rostam and Sohrab (Opera) The Iranian director, Behrouz Gharibpour (*1950) brought to stage the puppet show "Rostam and Sohrab" based on the opera composed by Loris Tjeknovarian. Rostam and Sohrab puppet opera is the first puppet opera in Iran in which the tragic story of Rostam and Sohrab was displayed. The show involves 100 marionettes and 15 puppeteers. It was first performed in Tehran’s Ferdowsi Hall in 2005. Rome festival "Rostam and Sohrab" The celebrated Iranian director, Behrouz Qaribpour has staged the 'Rostam and Sohrab' puppet opera in the Italian capital of Rome. Supported by Italy’s Vudi Roma Theater and the museum of oriental studies, the opera involved 100 marionettes and 15 puppeteers and was performed on September 30 and October 1, 2008 at Rome’s Argentina Theater. Composed by Loris Tjeknovarian, the opera is based on a tragic story from the renowned epic Persian poet, Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. Don Dilworth The story of Rostam is from the Shahnameh, an 11th century epic by Ferdowsi. The opera is just under three hours long, and is scored for full orchestra, nine soloists, chorus, and ballet. Rostam lived for 600 years, according to legend, and because that is too much adventure for a single opera, I have selected just a few significant events for this work. The libretto is mostly my own words, letting the singers tell the tale rather than the storyteller employed by Ferdowsi.

However his love of poetry and particularly the works of Persia's Literary Icon Hakīm Abū l-Qāsim Firdawsī Tūsī, better known as Ferdowsi, were to have a great influence on him and drive him towards an entirely different career choice as a filmmaker.

  • The Intercultural Relationship Between Persian and English Literature: a Translational Perspective
    Salavati 1 The Intercultural Relationship between Persian and English Literature: A Translational Perspective (With Emphasis on the Role of Sir William Jones) Dipartimento di Studi Europi, Americani e Interculturali Dottorato in Scienze del Testo Curriculum di Letterature in Lingua Inglese Candidata Parastoo Salavati Supervisore Prof. Giorgio Mariani 26 Febbraio 2020 Salavati 2 Abstract This PhD dissertation scrutinizes some of Edward Said's notions concerning Western imperialism and colonialism as the hidden targets of Orientalism, presented in his celebrated book, Orientalism. It also demonstrates that Said's political ideas have prevented him from conceiving the literary and cultural bonds which were created between the Orient and the Occident via the endeavors of the Orientalists. In a historical context, this study explores the influence of Persian literature on the development of English poetry particularly during the Romantic Period. It also designates that German Romanticism and American Transcendentalism were inspired by Oriental literature and philosophy, conveyed to them through the translated works. Accordingly, the significance of translation in transmitting literature and culture between nations is examined. Focusing on Sir William Jones as the counterexample of Said's prototype of Orientalists, the study investigates the influence of Jones' translations on European literary works during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in England. This dissertation concludes that literature is man's universal and immortal legacy which is improbable to be colonized, contrary to Said' hypothesis. It also proves that some Orientalists devoted their life to transfer the literature and culture of the Oriental lands to the world, not to dominate them, but based on love and enthusiasm.

  • Using Islamic Feminist Discourse to Unfold Gender Issues in Qaisra Shahraz’S the Holy Woman (2001)
    Running Head : USING ISLAMIC FEMINIST DISCOURSE TO UNFOLD GENDER ISSUES 1" ICLLCE 2015-3 Normazla Ahmad Mahir Using Islamic Feminist Discourse to Unfold Gender Issues in Qaisra Shahraz’s The Holy Woman (2001) Normazla Ahmad Mahir*a, Norhaili Massarib aFaculty of Major Language Studies, Islamic Sciences University of Malaysia, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia bFaculty of Major Language Studies, Islamic Sciences University of Malaysia, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The The 9/11 attack on New York World Trade Centre has somehow popularized the term ‘Islamophobia’ and contributes to the marginalisation of Muslims in America and Britain. Being minority in Britain, the Muslims find it hard to be accepted among the western societies. It is hard to be a Muslim in Britain and even harder for its Muslim women. Placed in a double bind situation, the contemporary Muslim women writers have yet to counter lopsided and inaccurate notions about their perceived gender oppression. In a climate of mistrust and marginalisation of Muslims, British Muslim women writers have played a significant role in informing the mainstream society about their religion and identity. One of them is Qaisra Shahraz (1958- ). In The Holy Woman (2001), Shahraz explicates the gender question according to the teachings of Islam and locates the fine differences between Islamic teachings and culturally inflected practices; such as the impositon of the unislamic, ‘barbaric’ ancient traditon of Shahzadi Ibadat (The Holy Woman) by the feudal class. Within the setting of a traditional patriarchal society in Sindh Pakistan, Shahraz has finely crafted her work revolving around the internal conflicts as experienced by her protagonist, Zarri Bano.

  • Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 Farbod Honarpisheh
    Fragmented Allegories of National Authenticity: Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 by Farbod Honarpisheh Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Farbod Honarpisheh All rights reserved Abstract Fragmented Allegories of National Authenticity: Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 Farbod Honarpisheh The New Wave (Moj-e Now), as the rather large body of “quality films” made in Iran before the 1979 revolution came to be known, forms the main thematic concern of this study. From start to end, however, this primary track of investigation is opened up to other mediums of cultural production: modernist Persian fiction and poetry, the visual arts scene, the discourse on ethnography and “folklore studies,” and the critical texts produced by public intellectuals. The second main theme coming to the fore is the intersection of the emergent “discourse of authenticity,” the Iranian intellectuals’ growing demand for “cultural rootedness,” and the production of modernist aesthetics in literature, arts, and cinema. Introduced early in the text, the idea of “modernism of uneven development” provides the theoretical frame for this project; the recurrences of the hypothesis, particularly as it pertains to a temporal divide between the city and the countryside, are discerned and analysed. The Iranian New Wave Cinema, I contend, always showed an ethnographic register, as it too was after worlds and times deemed as vanishing. This “movement” in cinematic modernism first emerged from within the documentary mode, which began to flourish in Iran from the 1960s.

To help distinguish one Alí from another, they used a system of honorifics added to the names. Family names eventually came into widespread use, but many of these honorifics can still be added to a person's name. Once they came into use, family names were frequently formed from place names. This was often done by adding an "í" to the end of the name of the town or region where the family lived. For example, a family from the city of Shiráz might have adopted a family name of Shirází.
