Richmond-Garza Co-Supervisor: Mohammad R. Ghanoonparvar This dissertation calls attention to three important twentieth-century Iranian playwrights who have made extraordinary contributions to the development of modern Iranian drama and whose oeuvres reveal instances of creative encounter with modern Western dramaturgy. In place of an attempt to provide a thorough diachronic analysis of dramatic productions in the regions concerned, I focus on specific moments and key figures that exemplify major stages in the evolution of modern drama both in Iran and the West, i.e., the triumvirate aesthetic movements of Idealism, Realism, and Modernism. With the aim of re-situating modern Iranian drama within the context of international dramatic developments, the plays of Gholamhossein Sa‘edi, Akbar Radi, and Bahram Beyzaie are respectively compared with the works of Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov, and Luigi Pirandello in order to detail the affinities and divergences between the two through close- readings of plays and analysis of the scholarship and historical documents that shaped the playwrights’ views about modernity. In doing so, I thus propose a reading of Iranian drama that is sensitive both to Western influences and to the transformation exerted on Western literary forms in response to local realities and needs. vii In order to demonstrate the rise of modern drama as a literary form that is deeply aware of modernity, I provide a historically grounded perspective on its development. Therefore, in addition to examining the specific plays, I engage with a methodology that includes reviewing historical and social circumstances that informed the playwrights’ creations. Such an approach allows for the expansion of the dominant Western cannon, Ibsen, Chekhov, and Pirandello, for instance, and for gaining new perspectives on other national literary traditions which unfortunately have mostly been omitted from the world dramatic discourse. At the same time, by linking Western dramatists to their Iranian counterparts, this dissertation aims to join the discussions on the interactions between Iranian and Western literatures and to give an account of an exchange between Iran and the West that is embedded in the development of both. viii Table of Contents LIST OF FIGURES ...........................................................................................

  • Women As Hidden Authoritarian Figures in Luigi Pirandello's Literary
    The Paradox of Identity: Women as Hidden Authoritarian Figures in Luigi Pirandello’s Literary Works Thesis Prospectus by MLA Program Primary Reader: Dr. Susan Willis Secondary Reader: Dr. Mike Winkelman Auburn University at Montgomery 1 December 2010 The Paradox of Identity: 1 Women as Hidden Authoritarian Figures in Luigi Pirandello’s Literary Works On June 28, 1867 in Sicily, Italian author and playwright Luigi Pirandello was born in a town called Caos, translated chaos, during a cholera epidemic. Pirandello’s life was marked by chaos, turmoil, and disease. He literally entered into a world of chaos. Dictated to by a tyrannical father and cared for by a meek mother, Pirandello developed an interesting view of marriage, women, and love. The passivity of his mother and eventual paranoia and insanity of his wife, Antoinette Potulano, created a premise for his literary women. As he formulated and evolved his impressions of the feminine identity from what he witnessed between his parents and experienced with his wife, the “Master of Futurism” examined the flaws of interpersonal communication between genders. He translated those experiences into his literature by depicting institutions such as marriage negatively in his early works and later shifting the bulk of his focus to gender oppositions. Pirandello explores the conundrum between men and women by placing his female characters into paradoxical roles. This thesis challenges previous criticism that maintains Pirandello’s women are “dismembered,” weak, and deconstructed characters and instead concludes that, although Pirandello’s literary women are mutable figures and his literature contains patriarchal elements, a matriarchal society dominates Pirandello’s literature.

  • 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.

  • 197 Comparative Literature in Iran
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development Online ISSN: 2349-4182, Print ISSN: 2349-5979, Impact Factor: RJIF 5.72 www.allsubjectjournal.com Volume 3; Issue 11; November 2016; Page No. 197-203 Comparative literature in Iran: Origin and development Mukhtar Ahmed Centre for Persian and Central Asian Studies/ SL/ JNU, New Delhi, India Abstract This paper seeks to trace the historical tracks of comparative literature in modern Iran. I am following the early footsteps of comparative literature of Iran through the life of Fatemeh Sayyah (1902-1947), who is credited to be the founder of the discipline of Comparative literature in Iran, which started off as discipline with the introduction of a literary program for the first time at Tehran University in 1938. The very first academic comparative work with respect to Persian literature was done by an Indian scholar Umar Bin Mohammad Daudpota almost 11 years before its introduction in Iranian university curriculum, in 1927 at Cambridge University, with the title of ‘The effect of Arabic poetry on Persian poetry’. As a discipline, throughout its journey that comparative literature encountered in Iran as far as its development is concerned has had to overcome obstacles in its way. Many a time the program faced its closures and reopening. The process of literary interaction with French literature, its impact on Iranian literature and the outcome of this process, which I believe is more out of a protest than anything else, though it was leveraged to some extent by Pahlavi dynasty in a bid to protect its claims for monarchy.

  • Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran
    Negotiating a Position: Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran Parmis Mozafari Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Music January 2011 The candidate confIrms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2011 The University of Leeds Parmis Mozafari Acknowledgment I would like to express my gratitude to ORSAS scholarship committee and the University of Leeds Tetly and Lupton funding committee for offering the financial support that enabled me to do this research. I would also like to thank my supervisors Professor Kevin Dawe and Dr Sita Popat for their constructive suggestions and patience. Abstract This research examines the changes in conditions of music and dance after the 1979 revolution in Iran. My focus is the restrictions imposed on women instrumentalists, dancers and singers and the ways that have confronted them. I study the social, religious, and political factors that cause restrictive attitudes towards female performers. I pay particular attention to changes in some specific musical genres and the attitudes of the government officials towards them in pre and post-revolution Iran. I have tried to demonstrate the emotional and professional effects of post-revolution boundaries on female musicians and dancers. Chapter one of this thesis is a historical overview of the position of female performers in pre-modern and contemporary Iran.

  • Writing for the Theatre by Jane House Pirandello Was Over
    Pirandello’s Youthful Passion: Writing for the Theatre by Jane House Pirandello was over 40 and had already achieved fame as a novelist with The Outcast (L’Esclusa, 1901) and The Late Mattia Pascal (Il fu Mattia Pascal, 1904) when his first plays were produced in 1910,1 and he did not commit himself to playwriting until he was almost 50. However, the letters he wrote as a young man and two extant plays present incontrovertible evidence that he had the ambition to make his name as a playwright when he was a university student and a recent graduate, and that the young man had no compunction about submitting his plays to major figures in Italian theatre---Cesare Rossi, Ermete Zacconi, and Flavio Andò---in the expectation that they would be produced at important theatres in Rome. The two extant plays from this period, Why? (Perchè?) and The Epilogue (L’epilogo), published in 1892 and 1898 respectively, represent only a fragment of the plays that Pirandello wrote before he turned 30. The Epilogue would become The Vise (La morsa) which was published in Maschere nude. Why?, on the other hand, lay forgotten for almost a century. The one act was never produced during Pirandello’s lifetime; it was not part of his collected works; and William Murray did not include it in his comprehensive collection of Pirandello’s one-act plays. It was brought to the attention of Pirandello scholars in 1976 by Edoardo Villa (173–80) and was first published in English in 1995 (House and Attisani 417–423).

Occasionally by his critics, he was called as "The Persian Chekhov" but they never expounded comprehensively the details of the given epithet which might be derived from similarities, influences and inspirations among Radi and Chekov. By analyzing these similarity cases, this essay attempts to figure out whether this resemblance is resulted from the conscious impressionability.

As postmodern narrative elements are too general and the researcher could not cover them all, she has gone through the most eminent elements: intertextuality, stream of consciousness style, fragmentation and representation respectively which are delicately utilized in Khanomche and Mahtabi. The review then critically applies the theories on the mentioned drama. The article concludes by recommending a few directions for the further research. Keywords: Intertextuality, Stream of Consciousness, Fragmentation, Postmodern Reality 1. Introduction Narratologists have tried to define narrative in one way or another; one will define it without difficulty as "the representation of an event or sequence of events"(Genette, 1980, p. 127). In Genette's terminology it refers to the producing narrative action and by extension, the whole of the real or fictional situation in which that action takes place (Ibid.
