  • Afghanistan, 11 Sept 2003-7 Apr 2004
    Major Richard C. Sater Notes from a Journal Afghanistan, 11 Sept 2003-7 Apr 2004 —for Lt. Col. Greg Vrentas, US Army Hey, you. Thanks. 11 Sept. 2003: DUST AGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan—The battle for Afghanistan after Sept. 11, 2001 was swift and decisive. The world and I watched as US mil- itary and coalition forces attacked and the Taliban government fell,B after six years of oppressive rule. So it seems entirely fitting that I step off the plane and onto the tarmac here on the second anniversary of a September event that redefined our present and our future and let us know we could never be complacent again. I have had a three-hour flight from Kyrgyzstan to think about where I am going and why, questions that are too big for the rattle and hum of a C-130 with two dozen of us sardined into the belly. We are Air Force, Army, Marine, Navy. Male and female. Private first-class and colonel. We are going to the same place for the same reason: to carry out our portion of the larger war versus terrorism. In my brand-new brown camouflage uniform, I am curious. A little apprehen- sive. Possibly scared. But proud too, which stands by itself. Thirty-two provinces make up this country that is roughly the size of Texas. I’ve seen breathtaking photographs of this place, but Bagram is only dusty flat, with the mountains in the distance. I am hopeful that six months here will give me some opportunities to see more than the inside of this fence.

The Council hopes to build on this over the coming year. In pursuit of the Society’s charitable objects, we are attempting to reach a wider audience than the Society’s present membership. In particular, we are planning a public lecture in memory of Sir Denis Wright, our former president and chairman, who contributed so much to the Society. David Blow, a Council member, is editing a compendium of travellers’ tales on Iran over the ages, which is due to be published by Eland Books next year, and we will continue to arrange tutored visits to UK exhibitions and events connected with Iran. Meanwhile, our Journal continues to go from strength to strength, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the editor, Antony Wynn, and to Alan Ashmole, who arranges the printing. I am retiring as chairman in October. This is in many ways a sad moment for me, but I am delighted that Hugh Arbuthnott has been elected to succeed me as chairman. As a Persian speaker, who was twice posted to the British Embassy in Tehran and was British Ambassador in three countries, he brings a depth of experience and wisdom which will, I am sure, be of great benefit to the Society.

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.

  • European Artists in Iran During the Qâjâr Period
    Mahshid Modares The familiarity of Iranians with European schools of art begins with the political European Artists relationship with Europe in the seventeenth century, and increases in the nineteenth century. in Iran During the In Europe, industrial, social, and cultural changes reformed many political systems in the Qâjâr Period nineteenth century and ended many monarchial, feudal, and hierarchical systems that had existed for centuries. In the transition from monarchy to democracy, according to Stephen Eisenman, in his book Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History, the bourgeois controlled some parts of Europe for about a century. On the one hand, the working class, farmers, and women followed revolutionary ideas of enlightened individuals in gaining their freedom and equality.1 On the other hand, industrialized nations invaded weak countries in Africa, South America, and the Middle East, maintaining economical and military supremacy during the colonial period of the nineteenth century. Britain, for instance, asserted control over oil and other resources in Iran to assure its routes to India. Countries such as Iran suffered constant interference by Europeans trying to enforce their ascendancy in the name of modernization, two-way friendship, and trade. Having political and economic clout, England, Germany, France, and the United States chased valuable resources and lands. As a part of the plan, European ambassadors, government missions, military men, traders, archeologists, and artists, all of whom traveled to different regions, took back to Europe information on future investments, as well as a large number of ancient and contemporary art pieces and During the Qâjâr epoch Iranian artists exhibited a great treasures, which made many museums and interest in European paintings of the Renaissance and private collections enormously wealthy.

  • Nominative Principles of Clothing Terms in the Karakalpak Language
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 13, 2020 NOMINATIVE PRINCIPLES OF CLOTHING TERMS IN THE KARAKALPAK LANGUAGE Zayrova Kanshayim Muratbaevna Karakalpak State University doctoral student Scientific supervisor: associate professorSeytnazarova I.E. Nukus (Uzbekistan) Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 ABSTRACT: In the article the history, culture, national values of our people, and the names of clothing which is a kind of the material culture of our people, which had a number of historical epochs, lived with the nation and their naming nominative principles are analyzed by historical-etymological side. In particular, the peculiarities of the terms of old clothes which become to be forgotten, the history of the origin of the terms, the naming principles were revealed. The names of clothing as the other terms in the language do not appear spontaneously, but their appearance develops according to the psychology of thinking of the people, the mentality of their own. The lexicon of clothing was considered as a system of special onomas. Depending on the appearance of the terms of clothing, it is said that it is carried out in the form of imitation (analogy), imaginary imitation (symbolism). KEYWORDS: Lexicology, clothing lexicon, lexeme, historical-etymology, analogy, nominative principle, material principle: leather, wool, jeep (thread), silk, cotton; functional principle: hat, cap, jawlik (scarf), kerchief; analogical principle: sen‟sen‟ ton (coat), jelek, oraypek, etc. I. INTRODUCTION If clothing has been a means of protecting humanity from external influences since ancient times, then its functions have expanded. Thus, in addition to protecting people from external influences, clothing began to reflect the factors of social development, as well as a collection of objects that cover, wrap and decorate the human body.
