Iconological Study of “Rustam in Struggle with Div-e Sepid” in Tilework of Karim Khan-e Zand Citadel Portal in Shiraz Based on Erwin Panofsky Method Ali Asadpour*1 1. Assistant Professor, Interior Architecture Department, Shiraz University of Arts, Shiraz, Iran. Received: 11/05/2019 ; revised: 14/10/2019 ; accepted: 19/10/2019 ; available online: 22/07/2020 Abstract Problem Statement: The “Rustam and Div-e Sepid (White Demon)” tilework painting on the Karim Khan citadel (Arg) is one of the Qajarian’s interventions into this Zandian’s building. In addition to its artistic features, this work has a special social and governmental significance. However, it has received less attention from researchers. A new interpretation of it could provide a deeper understanding of the developments of the Zandian’s complex at Qajar era. The research is based on the hypotheses that this tilework in spite of its artistic role -in keeping with the Iranian tradition of illustrating the struggle of Rustam and Div-e Sepid in the art- also has non-artistic (political and governmental) functions. Research objective: The aim of the research is to recognize the content and conceptual aspects of this neglected tilework in its historical and social context and to identify its political and governmental functions in the Karim Khan citadel (Arg).

    Opción, Año 34, Especial No.14 (2018):1055-1070 ISSN 1012-1587/ISSNe: 2477-9385 Nature as a Romantic Aspect in George Bowering's Poetry Sahar Abdul Ameer Haraj Al-Husseini1 1Dept. of English, College of Education, University of Al- Qadisyiah Iraq [email protected] Abstract This research aims to demonstrate that George Bowering (1945) uses nature as one of his major themes in his poems via qualitative research method based on case study research methodologies. As a result, the poet tries to show his view about outward nature as being concurrent and congruous stating his position in nature as well as his awareness of it. As a conclusion, Bowering opts to presents haunting pictures to keep himself one with nature and consequently keeping himself with Canada and through this close association between humans and nature a new spiritual insight is going to be reciprocally produced. Key words: Bowering, poetry, nature, love, poem.

Corresponding Author: 1*[email protected] Atefeh Garoossi, Mina Sadri. The Symbolism of Bahram Gor’s Dragon-slaying in Haft Peykar and the Story’s Reflection in Kamāl Ud-dīn Behzād’s Paintings-- Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(5), 1414-1424. ISSN 1567- 214x Keywords: Bahram Gor, Dragon Slaying, Symbol, Painting, Haft Peykar. Abstract Haft Peykar is One of Nezami Ganjavi‟s most prominent works. It is a symbolic one and each of its stories and scenes can be interpreted and deciphered in different ways. One of the most important stories among them is Bahram Gor‟s dragon-slaying, which has a considerable presence in Iranian visual arts, including painting. The present research aims to study and decipher the symbols used in this mysterious story, as we believe there are still ambiguous points that can be clarified through more accurate studies. To find them, the following questions have been raised: What are the secrets and mysteries behind the story of Bahram Gor‟s dragon-slaying? What are the characteristics of the reflection of Bahram Gor's dragon- slaying story in Iranian painting? The illustration of Bahram Gor's dragon-slaying story is consistent with the poetry images in Haft Peykar, but it seems that the symbols and mysteries that lie in the hidden layers of this story are not found in the paintings drawn according to this story.

In tragedy, usually one person (hero) is in the center of the story and all of the stories come together to make the inevitable fate happen for that hero. This inevitable fate is usually along with death or a tragic end which occurs for the hero. The purpose of poet in tragedy is illustration of an advice for readers after death of the hero. In this article, we have tried to review various aspects of tragic story of Rostam and Sohrab and the way the Master of Tous makes his audience and fans aware of passage of time and the eternal destiny using analytical descriptive method. Undoubtedly, what the ancient Greeks, especially Aristotle have proposed as a definition for tragedy as, is in some cases different from Ferdowsi's view but there is a close consistency between the nature of tragedy and the base of tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab and definition of tragedy.

  • 'The Conceits of Poetry': Firdausi's Shahnama
    Mario Casari ‘The Conceits of Poetry’: Firdausi’s Shahnama and the discovery of Persian in early modern Europe The Muse of the Coming Age In one of his few meta-literary stories, written in 1861, the famous Danish fairy tale writer, Hans Christian Andersen, posed a question to the reader about the future of literature in the century to come. ‘The Muse of the Coming Age, whom our great grandchildren, or possibly a later generation still, but not ourselves, shall make acquaintance with, – how does she manifest herself ? What is her face and form? What is the burden of her song? Whose heart-strings shall she touch? To what summit shall she lift her century?’ Responding with the gaze of a Romantic writer, Anderson proposes a number of possible figures, at the crossroads of the poetic tradition and modern scientific prose. But what is certain to him is that the Muse ‘in the vast workshop of the present . is born, where steam exerts its sinews’; ‘The nurse has sung to her of Eivind Skalde-spiller and Firdusi, of the Minnesingers and what Heine, boyish-bold, sang from his very poet’s soul . ’. Thus, to Andersen, the Persian poet Firdausi was among the required body of knowledge for anyone who aimed at creating literature in the coming age; an age whose Muse was launched towards the future as a locomotive pushed by the force of steam. Andersen added, with emphasis and visionary passion: ‘Europe’s railways hedge old Asia’s fast- sealed culture-archives – the opposing streams of human culture meet! .

Bahrām Čūbīn (d. 591) was a historical figure and general in the Sasanian army during the reigns of Hurmuzd IV (r. 579–590) and Khusraw II (r. 591–628). The original stories were written in Middle Persian probably at the end of the 6th century or at the beginning of the 7th century and then translated into Arabic in the 8th century. Both the Pahlavi versions and early Arabic translations are irretrievably lost.

Distribuido como pre-print bajo licencia Creative Commons by-nc-nd 4.0 "Bibliotecario". http://biblio-tecario.blogspot.com.es/ Un tratado sobre gatos En noviembre de 2011, la esposa de un viejo bibliófilo del Reino Unido donó a la British Library un manuscrito tailandés que quedó catalogado como "Or 16797" y que ha sido bautizado como "Treatise on cats". Tratado sobre gatos. El manuscrito es un samut khoi , formato tradicional tailandés –hoy caído en el olvido– que consistía en una tira de papel de morera plegada en acordeón. En este caso se trata de una lámina de color crema cuyos pliegues crean 12 folios alargados, que se despliegan verticalmente. Cada una de las 24 páginas resultantes incluye una pintura de un gato acompañada por una breve explicación, apuntada utilizando los curvilíneos trazos del alfabeto thai. Si bien, como ocurre con muchos otros manuscritos de la zona, el documento no hace ninguna mención a su autor o a su ilustrador ni incluye fecha de producción, se calcula que fue creado en el siglo XIX en el antiguo reino de Siam. Los dibujos describen gráficamente los distintos tipos de gatos conocidos para entonces en Siam. Y las notas explican, de forma breve y concisa, los principales rasgos físicos de los animales, y los efectos que cada variedad tiene para su dueño. Pues se creía que ciertos tipos de gatos podían traer buena suerte, prosperidad o salud a su poseedor, mientras que otros traían mala fortuna y, en consecuencia, debían evitarse.
