Pardeh-Khani a Conceptual Model for Iranian National Cinema PARDEH-KHANI A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR IRANIAN NATIONAL CINEMA MAJID FADAEI THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CULTURAL CENTER UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT This research has proposed Iran’s traditional art of Pardeh-khani as a suitable and applicable model for attaining a national cinema in this country; Pardeh-khani (pictorial storytelling) or Parde-dari is a kind of storytelling and minstrelsy with painted canvases that some scenes of epic, myth, moral and especially religious stories are painted on them. Mixture of speech and image in Pardeh-khani cause this kind of storytelling in the most popular and dramatic kind within Iran ancient arts. Pardeh-khani is very similar to modern art of cinema which served an analogous function in the past. Iran’s cinema, despite producing decorated works and eye-catching successes in global festivals during its 110-years history (1900-2010), has not been able yet to gain its actual position and status. It has failed to become a national cinema having a unique identity. As a matter of fact, despite all cultural and artistic potentials and capabilities of ancient Iran’s civilization and also presence of creative artists, Iran’s cinema has not managed to possess a national style with an identity commensurate with culture and identity of this civilization. By investigating different dimensions of this art that enjoyed remarkable popularity among Iranians along the history until a near past, this study attempts to render a theoretical and practical framework for national cinema in Iran. i ABSTRAKT Kajian ini adalah mengenai kesenian tradisional Iran Pardeh-khani yang boleh dijadikan aplikasi model yang sesuai untuk mendapatkan pawagam bertaraf nasional di Negara ini. Pardeh- khani (bercerita melalui gambar) atau lebih dikenali sebagai Parde-dari, adalah sejenis konsep bercerita yang menggunakan gambar-gambar yang dilukis di atas kanvas yang memaparkan cerita epik, kemoralan dan keagamaan. Disebabkan keunikan dari segi percakapan dan gambar, Pardeh-khani merupakan kaedah bercerita yang paling popular dan dramatic dalam seni Iran. Pardeh- khani sangat mirip kepada seni pawagam moden yang mempunyai fungsi yang sama pada masa yang lalu. Walaupun pawagam Iran menghasilkan karya yang dekoratif dan terkenal di festival-festival global pada 110 tahun bersejarahnya (1900-2010), ia masih belum mendapat statusnya. Ia telah gagal untuk menjadi pawagam nasional yang mempunyai identity yang unik. Dalam pada itu, walaupun terdapat kesenian dan unsure artistic serta potensi peradaban Iran dan artis kreatif, pawagam Iran masih belum mendapat unsure nasional dengan identity yang berteraskan kesenian dan identity peradabannya. Dengan mengkaji dimensi yang berlainan berkenaan kesenian yang mendapat sambutan di kalangan warga Iran berserta dengan sejarahnya, kajian ini bertujuan untuk memberi struktur theory dan praktikal untuk pawagam nasional di Iran. ii ACKNOWLEGDMENT Thank God for every single blessing. While working on this project, I received inspiration and support from some people whom I wish to thank here. First, I would like to dedicate this thesis to the sweet memory of my beloved late mother. Her motherly love and generous grace was always a source of inspiration to me and my family. If it was not for her encouragement, support and inspiration, this thesis could never be possible. May God bless her soul. I should also express my deepest gratitude to my wife and my son who tolerated my absence and always inspired me throughout to complete my PhD project. I thank them for all their unconditional love and support. They created this opportunity for me to pursue and complete my doctoral studies. Last but not the least, I take this opportunity to say that I am grateful to my supervisor Professor Dr. Mohd Anis. I should like to acknowledge the guidance, and the illuminating knowledge and support of Dr. Anis who encouraged me to better pursue this topic and made extra efforts helping me to achieve a critical understanding of my research area and also a clearer structure for my thesis. I wish God blesses him and his family. iii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 2.1. A storytelling cloth from Rajasthan in India…………………………...72 Figure 2.2.

  • Suggested Texts for Teaching Film to A-Level Language Students
    School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (2015) Suggested texts for teaching film to A-Level language students Each of the academics representing an area of language/culture study in the videos has also offered some general notes and advice surrounding texts which could help support the teaching of each relevant area. French (Diana Holmes) Films Truffaut Les 400 Coups (1959) – iconic New Wave film, interesting formally, but also about childhood, schooldays, relations with adults. Intensely moving as well as wonderful cinema – and introduces an important director. Louis Malle’s Au Revoir les enfants (1987). Relevant for any study of Occupation years, but also a good film and important director. Malle’s Lacombe Lucien (1974) is possibly even better. (Fairly) recent commercial successes such as Jeunet’s Amélie (2001) or Les Intouchables (Toledano and Nakache, 2011) – or Tout ce qui brille by Géraldine Nakache (2010) would be interesting to do, looking in part at the reasons for their popularity. This year’s Bande de filles (Céline Sciamma – a very interesting director). There is the unavoidable La Haine – very predictable choice, but it always goes down well and it is brilliant. Books For film ‘language’ see: Warren Buckland: (Teach yourself) Film Studies (Hodder & Stoughton, 1998) H-Paul Chevrier: Le Langage du cinéma narratif (Les 400 coups, 2005) School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (2015) For history/analysis of French cinema see: Guy Austin: Contemporary French Cinema (Manchester University Press, 1996; Second edition – updated

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • 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.
