Encontros, caminhos, desertos em palavras, tendo como guia de travessia os estudos de Henry Corbin a partir dos relatos e da Teosofia de Sohravardî: busca pelas belezas do mundo árabe persa do século XII na perspectiva da Luz do Conhecimento. ABSTRACT Words awakened from the pulse of poetic images of the films Bab'Aziz by Nacer Khemir, and Shirin by Abbas Kiarostami, talking to the poems Khosrow and Shirin and The Seven Princesses , both of Nezami.

A segunda escreveu que tudo na vida começa com um sim, uma molécula dizendo sim a outra, uma ideia dizendo sim a outra. Por isso, para escrever sobre o caminho deste trabalho, primeiro foi preciso dizer sim ao trabalho de leitura realizado por Henry Corbin a partir das leituras que ele realizou dos textos de Sohravardî. Henry Corbin escreve que encontrou o material dos relatos de Sohravardî ao acaso, em uma biblioteca em Teerã, quando pesquisava sobre Avicena 1. Para Corbin, compreender seria um processo de interpretação contínuo, no qual o conhecimento seria desdobrado a cada encontro/reencontro. Ele utilizou esse processo para entrar no trabalho feito por Sohravardî, principalmente no estudo intitulado Os Relatos do encontro com o Anjo . Henry Corbin aproximou-se de Sohravardî e compreendeu os aspectos relacionados à busca do conhecimento, proposta pela teosofia de Sohravardî, autor que é influenciado pelo hermetismo, pelo platonismo, pelo mazdeísmo: a busca pelo bem através do caminho da descoberta do conhecimento. Corbin e Sohravardî serão esses lugares, tempos, sins e nãos para que um jardim, lugar poético, de poéticas, exista. A leitura do texto é um convite a você, leitor que, como peregrino, irá me acompanhar. Mas o meu caminho é construído pelo meu olhar. O seu? o caminho Nos textos-relatos de Sohravardî, há uma personagem peregrina que está em um caminho e, em sua busca, é acompanhado por alguém mais experiente que ele – um guia –, alguém que já conhece o percurso pelo qual o viajante está passando; é esse guia quem responde às perguntas que surgem ao longo da jornada. O guia traz a compreensão das coisas que o peregrino desconhece através de observações, perguntas, descaminhos, desertos, noites, jardins, sons, imagens: palavras. Quando obtém todas as respostas, o peregrino percebe que chegou ao final de seu caminho; chegou a um lugar repleto de luz, encontra-se livre. Quando se dá conta dessa liberdade, o viajante vê que trilhou todo o caminho, do conhecimento, sozinho, o tempo todo, ele buscou e esteve na companhia 1 CORBIN, Henry. O Islam Iraniano , volume II. xiii de si mesmo: está só, é seu próprio guia, e que, na verdade, ele não se deslocou fisicamente: seu deslocamento foi interior, sua descoberta foi chegar até o conhecimento das palavras que ele buscava para compreender seu caminho; o peregrino julgava-se um estrangeiro, desconhecedor; mas, ao final da jornada, ele se descobre um exilado, alguém que já estivera muito próximo de saber, mas que desconhecia como chegar à compreensão do que era sabido, estava oculto, velado. um peregrino Henry Corbin teria lido os textos de Sohravardî e compreendido essa trajetória: interpretar exige busca constante; ler e compreender seriam caminhos a serem percorridos, constantemente.

  • Silence Studies in the Cinema and the Case of Abbas Kiarostami
    SILENCE STUDIES IN THE CINEMA AND THE CASE OF ABBAS KIAROSTAMI by Babak Tabarraee M.A., Tehran University of Art, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2013 © Babak Tabarraee, 2013 Abstract This thesis is an attempt to formulate a systematic framework for ‘silence studies’ in the cinema by defining silence in pragmatic terms and suggesting different forms of filmic silence. As an illustration of my model, I examine the variety of silences in the works of Abbas Kiarostami, a notable figure of Art Cinema. The analytical approach suggested here can further be applied to the works of many other Art Cinema auteurs, and, by extension, to other cinematic modes as well, for a better understanding of the functions, implications, and consequences of various forms of silence in the cinema. Chapter 1 provides a working and pragmatic description of silence, applicable to both film and other communicative forms of art. Chapter 2 represents a historical study of some of the major writings about silence in the cinema. Chapter 3 introduces, exemplifies, and analyzes the acoustic silences in the films of Kiarostami, including the five categories of complete , partial (uncovered; covered with noise, music, or perspective), character/dialogue , language , and music silences. Chapter 4 introduces the concept of meta-silence and its trans-sensorial perceptions in communication and in arts, and then defines the four categories of the visual , character/image , narrative , and political silences in Kiarostami’s oeuvre.

  • The Imaginal World and Modern Oblivion: Kiarostami's Zig-Zag1
    Filozofski vestnik | Volume XXXVII | Number 2 | 2016 | 21–58 Joan Copjec* The Imaginal World and Modern Oblivion: Kiarostami’s Zig-Zag1 A1 zigzag path carved into a hill winds from base to crest, where it is crowned by a lushly-leafed tree standing solitary and upright like a kind of hieratic bouquet: this image recurs in three ¨lms – Where Is the Friend’s House? (1987); Life and Nothing More (1992); and Through the Olive Trees (1994) – which critics refer to as “the Koker trilogy,” simply because they are all set in the same location, the village of Koker in Northern Iran. Easily mistaken for a “found” image, part of the natural geography of the ¨lms’ actual setting, the recurrence of the image would seem to raise no questions nor require explanation. And yet there can be no confusing this image with natural geography, for as we learn from in- terviews, the ¨lms’ director, Abbas Kiarostami, did not just stumble upon this peculiar landscape while scouting locations. He had his ¨lm crew carve the pro- nounced zigzag path into the hill. An articial landscape, then, inserted by Kiarostami into the natural setting, it replicates, as it turns out, a miniature found in a manuscript executed at Shiraz in southern Persia at the end of the fourteenth century.2 In the miniature, just as in the Koker trilogy, a sinuous path curls up the side of a hill atop which sprouts a single, °owering tree. This miniature graces the cover of Spiritual Body and Celestial Earth, a book on Islamic philosophy in which the book’s author, the in°uential Iranologist,

THESIS IN THE FULFILMENT OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF CREATIVE ARTS UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY ! © Granaz Moussavi - 2011 DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this paper to the memories of my late mother and father: Parvin Chegini Farahani and Hashem Moussavi, as well as my beloved grandmother Nayer Fakhimi who taught me the first poems to recite. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to show my gratitude to my supervisors: Dr. Juan Salazar, Associate Professor Hart Cohen, and Professor Ivor Indyk for their encouragement, guidance and support from the initial to the final level of completing this research. My deepest thanks go to Dr. Juan Salazar who kindly but rigorously shepherded me to overcome the obstacles in my way to complete this written research and constantly motivated me to perform to my best ability. I must also extend my appreciation to the University of Western Sydney for its generosity for granting me the scholarship over my candidature.

From Tunis to Belgium with Ghalia Benali Interviewed by Huda Asfour Where is the Revolution: An Interview with Abbas Kiarostami Like Share 1K people like this. Sign Up to see what your friends like. Tweet by Shiva Rahbaran Sep 07 2016 Listen Abbas Kiarostami agreed to give an interview only reluctantly. I reminded him insistently that the absence of a filmmaker with whom film is supposed to end (see below), would be catastrophic for a project whose subject is post-revolutionary New Iranian Cinema. Eventually, he agreed. Sitting across from me, he grins ironically. Kiarostami says that ever since Alberto Elena decided to quote Jean-Luc Godard, “Film begins with D.W. Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami,” on the cover of his monograph The Cinema of Abbas Kiarostami,[1] that remark is mentioned every time someone says or publishes anything about Kiarostami. He is at pains to point out that Godard made this statement only in relation to Life, and Nothing More (1992), also known as And Life Goes On, the second part of [Abbas Kiarostami. Image by Mohammad Hassanzadeh via Kiarostami’s Earthquake Trilogy, which is also known as the Koker Trilogy Wikipedia] (the other two parts being Where is the Friend’s Home? (1987) and Through the Olive Trees (1994)). However, Kiarostami explains, the statements that Godard has made about him in the last ten or fifteen years clearly show that Godard no longer believes that film ends with Kiarostami.

Statistics indicate that in the last two decades, there have been a higher percentage of women filmmakers in Iran, in comparison with many western countries.
