  • Study of Social-Spatial Exclusion and Identifying Its Factors Between Enqelab Street and College Crossroad in Tehran
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC August 2016 Special Edition STUDY OF SOCIAL-SPATIAL EXCLUSION AND IDENTIFYING ITS FACTORS BETWEEN ENQELAB STREET AND COLLEGE CROSSROAD IN TEHRAN Mahnaz Alimohammadi MSc of urban development planning, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch Dr. Atusa Modiri Member of Scientific Board, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch ABSTRACT Despite the fact that public spaces should be accessible for everyone, sometimes some of these spaces by the boundaries created by the owners or social groups, are only accessible for particular groups of society. Such boundaries in addition to reduction in the level of spaces’ communication, is a limiting factor in the entry and presence of different society classes in urban spaces; while increasing the presence and interaction of citizens with each other and interaction with space improves urban life. It can be said that most boundaries on public spaces with private and public ownership or symbolic ownership are all negative consequences of ownership and lead to social-spatial exclusion of other segments of society. This article aims to explain examples of social-spatial exclusion on Enqelab St. in Tehran. We used exploratory-qualitative approach in this research. By using survey and documents we collected data and finally analyzed the data through mapping, and provided a conclusion about influencing factors on social- spatial exclusion on the street, and thus

  • Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and the Iranian Revolution of 1979:Intellectuals Have Control Over National Commitment
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 7 Issue 5, May 2017, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell’s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and the Iranian Revolution of 1979:Intellectuals have Control over National Commitment Saman HASHEMIPOUR* Abstract: The Iranian Revolution of 1979, as a noticeable movement of the last century, had a significant impact on globally social movements and Western philosophers. This study analyses the causes of uprising Iranian society against the regime, and Said’s view about the revolution in his two articles: Islam, Orientalism and the West: An Attack on Learned Ignorance and Islam through Western Eyes. Besides, the article analyses Foucault’s views about Islamic revolution in his collection of essays, published under the title of Foucault and the Iranian Revolution: Gender and the Seductions of Islam, after his death. Foucault, by highlighting the pivotal role of Shiite merits in the revolution, revealed how they could organize the fight against the traditional Iranian Kingdom Monarchy. Against, Edward Said highlighted the role of Iranian philosophers of time and their effects on Iranian Revolution but omitted Ayatollah Khomeini’s effects on the salient revolution of the last century. Despite the different viewpoints on the propellant of this tremendous change, they both admit the importance of this event as a vigilante activity of humankind.

    J. Appl. Environ. Biol. Sci. , 6(7)17-23, 2016 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2016, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com Design of an Auditorium complex Inspired by Splashing Raindrops to Promote Social Interactions and Environmental Protection Valiollah Ghasemi Gilvaei 1, Dr Manouchehr Riahi, Dr Afshin Param Faculty of Arts, Islamic Azad University of Damavand, Tehran, Iran Received: January 14, 2016 Accepted: April 3, 2016 ABSTRACT Nature is composed of minuscule to immensely huge active and flowing processes and phenomena. Comprehending the functions o f natural processes and threads can be an initiative for human societies to imitate and produce not only form, but also proper process and functioning. In this paper, the sound and shape of raindrops falling on a surface was used as a source of inspiration along with musical features such as rhythm, harmony, space and repetition to design a multi-purpose auditorium complex. This complex which was designed using the 3D MAX software is meant to serve as a place for holding conferences, lectures, galleries and concerts as well as a movie theater. The Post production software was also utilized to make some modifications on the design and the AUTOCAD software was used to generate 2-D plans. In addition to its bionic feature, this design acts as a reminder of the importance of Iran’s water scarcity issue the necessity of efficient use of rainwater. This issue can be further emphasized by building a musical fountain on the complex’s open grounds. The design of complex’s interior and exterior façades, structural form, and materials is based on combination of modern technology with innovative use of bionic design.

Abstracts Javad Abbasi Saint-Petersburg from the Perspective of Iranian Itineraries in 19th century Iran and Russia had critical and challenging relations in 19th century, well known by war, occupation and interfere from Russian side. Meantime 19th century was the era of Iranian’s involvement in European modernism and their curiosity for exploring new world. Consequently many Iranians, as official agents or explorers, traveled to Europe and Russia, including San Petersburg. Writing their itineraries, these travelers left behind a wealthy literature about their observations and considerations. San Petersburg, as the capital city of Russian Empire and also as a desirable station for travelers, was one of the most important destination for these itinerary writers. The focus of present paper is on the descriptions of these travelers about the features of San Petersburg in a comparative perspective.

  • SELEUKID STUDY DAY VI Reception, Response, and Resistance: Reactions to Seleukid Claims to Territorial Rule Or Hegemony
    SELEUKID STUDY DAY VI Reception, Response, and Resistance: Reactions to Seleukid Claims to Territorial Rule or Hegemony Nipissing University, North Bay ON 1–3 September 2017 List of 19 Paper Abstracts & CVs 1) Eran Almagor (Jerusalem, Israel): Two Possible Ways of Jewish Response to the Seleukids Email: eranalmagor at gmail.com Abstract: This paper addresses two possible ways in which Jews responded to Seleukid rule and claims to authority, as seen in Jewish sources. One mode of response is that of acceptance and the other is defiance up to the level of open revolt. Whereas the latter one is visible in the Books of Maccabees and the Jewish tradition, the former may be gleaned from several passages in Jewish literature, i.e., Josephus, and the Book of Esther. While probably conveying a popular tradition that goes back to Persian times, and presumably echoing a vague memory of a brief and turbulent time of the Jews or of Judaea under Xerxes (cf. Ezra 4.6), Esther is late. It stands to reason that the book was composed during the Seleukid period (Fox 1991, 139–140) and reflects a Jewish exilic existence, rather than one centered in Judaea. Its message is one of approval of a foreign rule, of recognition that power and position could be gained only through the royal court, and its ultimate goal seems to be the enjoyment of religious autonomy of Jews in a separate physical presence among the gentiles (cf. Jos. BJ 7:43– 45 on the Jews of Antioch). The only acts of violence mentioned in Esther are not against the sovereign, but rather sanctioned by it (Est 8.11–13, 9.1–16).

  • Sovereignty Without Nationalism, Islam Without God a Critical Study
    Sovereignty without Nationalism, Islam without God A Critical Study of the Works of Jalal Al-e Ahmad by Sohrab Shiravand A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of sociology University of Alberta © Sohrab Shiravand, 2015 Abstract Jalal Al-e Ahmad (1923-1969) is widely perceived, particularly in Iran, as the leading social critic in Iran’s post- Mosaddeq, pre Khomayni era (1953-1978) and also as an inspirational figure for Iran’s 1978-1979 revolution. His concept of “occidentosis” (Gharbzadeghi in Persian), or “Westernization,” as the main or even the only cause of Iran’s political, economic, and social problems, seemed to many Iranians to accurately diagnose their country’s ills. More importantly, his “cure” for the “disease” of occidentosis was his ringing call for Iranians to return to their authentic (Perso-Islamic) “self” and to use a rejuvenated Islam as a defense against Western imperialism. This call galvanized many Iranians, particularly among the Leftist intellectuals and Muslim clerics, and made Al-e Ahmad a revered figure following Iran’s successful revolution. This thesis argues that a close reading of a selection of Al-e Ahmad’s fiction, Occidentosis (1961), and autobiographical writing does not support the popular perception of him. The thesis’s title -- “Sovereignty without Nationalism, Islam without God” -- refers to the double paradox at the heart of his writing and thought: he called for Iran’s sovereignty in the face of Western imperialism, but felt no sense of community with his fellow Iranians, and he called for a “return to Islam,” but had no personal faith in either this or any other religion.

  • What a Revolution! Thirty Years of Social Class Reshuffling in Iran
    What a Revolution! Thirty Years of Social Class Reshuffling in Iran Sohrab Behdad Farhad Nomani Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Volume 29, Number 1, 2009, pp. 84-104 (Article) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/cst/summary/v029/29.1.behdad.html Access Provided by Denison University at 10/04/10 4:05AM GMT What a Revolution! Thirty Years of Social Class Reshuffling in Iran Sohrab Behdad and Farhad Nomani he 1979 revolution in Iran overturned the existing political order. It ruptured the existing social relations and institutions to reconstruct them in a new mold. It was an idealized expression for social change and progress. Its slogans, deliberate or spon- taneous, were epitomes of the expected orientation of the revolutionary movement by the mass of its participants and its leaders. Yet a revolution, like a forest fire or a tornado, once it takes shape, its form, direction, and extent have more to do with the internal dynamics of the interaction of its forceful momentum with the social landscape in which it traverses than with its origin or initial orientation. Such is the story of the Iranian revolution, seeking to establish the rule of the oppressed; to eradicate poverty, exploitation, and “excessive” wealth; to do away with “imperialism of East and West”; and to replace Iran’s “dependent capitalism” with a hitherto undefined utopian Islamic economic order, under a petty-bourgeois-oriented Shi’i clergy, in the deeply polarized Iranian society. Soon after the revolutionary surge, the Islamic government nationalized large manu- facturing and financial enterprises.
