    Connecting Through Dance: The Multiplicity of Meanings of Kurdish Folk Dances in Turkey Mona Maria Nyberg Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the M.A. degree Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen Spring 2012 The front page photograph is taken by Mona Maria Nyberg at a Kurdish wedding celebration. The women who are dancing in the picture are not informants. II Acknowledgements While studying for an exam during my time as a bachelor student, I read a work by Professor Bruce Kapferer which made me reconsider my decision of not applying for the master program; I could write about dance, I realized. And now I have! The process has been challenging and intense, but well worth it. Throughout this journey I have been anything but alone on this, and the list of persons who have contributed is too long to mention. First of all I need to thank my informants. Without you this thesis could not have been written. Thank you for your help and generosity! Especially I want to thank everyone at the culture centers for allowing me do fieldwork and participate in activities. My inmost gratitude goes to two of my informants, whose names I cannot write out of reasons of anonymity - but you know who you are. I want to thank you for allowing me into your lives and making me part of your family. You have contributing to my fieldwork by helping me in in innumerous ways, being my translators – both in terms of language and culture. You have become two of my closest friends.

Al-Zubaidi Baghdad University Baghdad, Iraq Wedding Invitation Genre: Communicating Sociocultural Identities of Iraqi Society ABSTRACT The present study examined the genre of Iraqi wedding invitation cards (WICs) in terms of its textual and visual components, and the impact of the social norms and assumptions on the articulation of these components. Drawing upon three analytic tools, namely, genre analysis proposed by Swales (1990) and Bhatia (2004), semiotic analysis suggested by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2001), and critical discourse analysis advocated by Fairclough (2010), a sample of 250 WICs was selected to be considered for analysis. Corpus analysis showed that Iraqi WICs varied in terms of their non-linguistic features like printed forms, colors, layouts, calligraphy, graphics, and paper materials. On the other hand, the underlying schematic organization of Iraqi WICs was built around seven component moves. Furthermore, Islamic religious beliefs and Iraqi socio-cultural system were clearly encoded in these wedding invitation texts affecting their organization structure. Keywords: wedding invitation cards; genre analysis; semiotic analysis; socio-cultural practices DOI: 10.17951/lsmll.2017.41.1.129 130 Nassier A. G. Al-Zubaidi 1. Introduction Invitation is “a commemorative social action having the function of informing and requesting the presence or participation of a person(s) kindly and courteously to some place, gathering, entertainment, etc., or to do something” (Al-Ali 2006: 961). A wedding invitation is of relative significance for wedding as it is the starting step for the wedding ceremony that guests will notice before the commencement of wedding.

  • Iranian Marriage Ceremony Congratulations to the Bride & Groom
    Iranian Marriage Ceremony Summary The Iranian wedding ceremony like many other rituals in the country goes back to the ancient Zoroastrian traditions. Currently, there are two stages to a marriage. The first is called aghd meaning knot. This involves the legal process; both parties and their guardians sign the marriage document and a financial contract mahr (sometimes ceremonial), for the benefit of the bride. The second stage of the marriage, arousi, includes the actual feasts and the celebration, bride in Persian is also called arous. The ceremony takes place in a specially decorated room with flowers and a beautiful and elaborately decorated spread (sofreh aghd) and it traditionally faced the direction of the sunrise and took place before sunset, since light was sacred for the ancient Iranians. This part of the ceremony consists of preliminary blessings, questions to the witnesses, guardians and the marrying couple and finally the ceremony is solemnized by reciting verses from holy books and the signing of the marriage document. First, the bridegroom is asked if he wishes to enter into the marriage contract. After he says yes, then the bride is asked the same question. However, the bride remains silent. The question is repeated three times then, she says yes. To make the bridegroom wait for the bride’s answer is to signify that it is the husband who seeks the wife. During the service female relatives of the couple hold a fine long scarf or other delicate fabrics like silk over the couple’s head. Two pieces of crystallized sugar cones are rubbed together, a symbolic act to sweeten the couple’s life.

  • A Comparative Sociopragmatic Analysis of Wedding Invitations in American and Iranian Societies and Teaching Implications
    62 | Applied Research on English Language, 4 ( 2 ) A comparative sociopragmatic analysis of wedding invitations in American and Iranian societies and teaching implications Samaneh Mehdipour (English Department, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad Branch, Iran) Zohreh R. Eslami (Department of Teaching, Learning and Culture, College of Education and Human Development Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA) Hamid Allami (English Department, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran) Abstract Wedding invitations (WIs), as a uniquely socially and culturally constructed genre, provide a distinct opportunity to compare the sociocultural values of different speech communities as reflected in the textual content and organization of the different moves. Students can be exposed to this genre and its different moves using a genre-based pedagogy. Genre-based pedagogy can be used to provide the learners with an opportunity to study well-known genres in their first (L1) and second language (L2) and to be able to observe the common and distinctive moves from a cross-cultural, cross-linguistic perspective. This study was carried out to investigate the wedding invitations in American and Iranian societies through two complementary approaches: genre analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA). One hundred wedding invitation (WI) cards (50 from each society) were collected and analyzed comparatively. The findings from the genre analysis showed that the WIs of the two speech communities enjoyed both similarities and differences in their generic moves. Results of CDA indicated that traditional orientation, religious affiliation, masculine power and educational status were the most influential factors affecting WIs in both societies but the intensity of the effect of these factors were not similar in the two speech communities.

  • R Marriage Contracts by Leila Alhagh A
    AN ARTISTIC ANALYSIS OF QÓJÓR MARRIAGE CONTRACTS BY LEILA ALHAGH A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Islamic and Other Civilizations International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization International Islamic University Malaysia AUGUST 2014 ABSTRACT This research has investigated the decoration of one hundred marriage certificates of the QÉjÉr period. The major aspects of this study were related to the study of layouts, motifs and designs, color, calligraphy and symbolism embedded in motifs and colors. Systematic library search in order to investigate the social and historical pretexts of wording and artwork of the studied documents has been undertaken. Among various visited sites was the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia that owns five marriage certificates of the QÉjÉr era. The applied artistic research of this work, regarding the scrutinizing the decorative artworks, included the preparation of line drawings for layouts, motifs and actual color palettes. One of the important goals in this research was to identify any possible exclusively used layout, motif, or color in any of the studied documents. Exploring any correlation between the style of illumination and artwork of these documents and their original owner’s social class was another goal of this research. Were there any symbolic concepts behind the motifs and colors? Some of the important results of this study can be summarized as follows: Layouts of the studied marriage contracts, obeyed the traditional arrangement of the art of the book, except for 5 of them that belonged to converted Jewish families. Among the floral motifs, rosettes and arabesques were used more, while in geometric motifs, cartouche was the common one.
