  • The Anxiety of Agrin in Bahman Ghobady's Turtles Can Fly (2005)
    THE ANXIETY OF AGRIN IN BAHMAN GHOBADY’S TURTLES CAN FLY (2005): A PSYCHOANALYTIC APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Getting Bachelor Degree of Education English Department by YULIA NINGSIH A320 060 092 SCHOOL OF TEACHING TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Literature is the presentation of human life. Literary works as the process of reflection of the author’s imagination that shows the phenomenon in his life. It means that when the authors are making their literary works, they express the problems in relationship from the author’s point of view. Of course it gives influence in every works of an author. Literary works deal with human life, it is appropriate to use psychology as an approach in understanding human being from psychological point of view. With such social interaction, an understanding of literary work also has conspiracy with human being. “Since literature is the exposition of man’s mental life, it can be said that literature has a tight relationship to psychology. Literature and psychology have the same object of research that is human being” (Wellek and Warren, 1984: 91). “Anxiety is such a painful state that we are incapable of tolerating it very long anxiety is the key variable in almost all theories of personality. The result of conflict, which is an inevitable part of life, anxiety is often seen major component of dynamic personality. Freud’s analysis of anxiety in terms both normal and abnormal functioning had great impact on later theorist, and it has continued to influence many clinicians” (John and Pervin, 1997: 86 ).

  • Narrating Trauma in Contemporary Films About the Iraq War
    doi: https://doi.org/10.26262/exna.v1i2.6734 Cultural Hauntings: Narrating Trauma in Contemporary Films about the Iraq War Katalina Kopka University of Bremen, Germany. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Societies come to terms with the “unfinished business” of past wars through obsessive retellings of their traumatic histories (Bronfen 2012). Combat films therefore are a powerful cultural arena wherein collective memories are negotiated. While movies about twentieth-century wars have received much public attention as meaning-making cultural artefacts, Western academia has to date largely neglected films about a defining conflict of the twenty-first century: the Iraq War (2003-2011). This paper addresses how American and Iraqi films contribute to debates on war memory by depicting ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ as a harrowing and inconclusive conflict. Specifically, the article examines how Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (2008) and Mohamed Al-Daradji’s Son of Babylon (Syn Babilonu, 2009) incorporate the rhythms of traumatic memory into their narrative fabric. Drawing on Derrida’s concept of hauntology, I argue that the central structuring device of repetition compulsion creates complex trauma palimpsests which present war as a never-ending and ever-returning experience. Ultimately, this study’s examination of the interdependencies between film narrative, trauma, human precariousness and empathy sheds a new light on Iraq’s and America’s intricately intertwined histories of violence. Keywords: war film; Iraq War; trauma narrative; memory studies; empathy. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction: The Iraq War as Unfinished Business According to literary scholar Elisabeth Bronfen, war always remains “unfinished business” (5). Societies compulsively return to previous conflicts in the hope of coming to terms with their traumatic past.

  • By Bahman Ghobadi Half Moon Cast
    HALF MOON BY BAHMAN GHOBADI HALF MOON CAST Mamo ISMAIL GHAFFARI Kako / Bus Driver ALLAH MORAD RASHTIANI Hesho / Singer HEDYE TEHRANI Border Policeman HASSAN POORSHIRAZI Niwemang GOLSHIFTEH FARAHANI Shouan SADIQ BEHZADPOOR SYNOPSIS HALF MOON BY BAHMAN GHOBADI Renowned old musician Mamo has been granted permission to perform a concert in Iraqi Kurdistan. His faithful friend Kako will drive a school bus and help gather together Mamo’s ten musical adult sons, scattered throughout Iranian Kurdistan. Mamo is determined to make this trip across the majestic landscape despite all ob- stacles. The old Kurdish musician has waited some 35 years for the chance to perform freely again in Iraqi Kurdistan. Mamo even ignores his son’s premonition that some- thing awful awaits him before the next full moon. Mamo is convinced that the essence of the upcoming performance is the celestial voice of a woman. He has chosen Hesho, who lives in a mountain retreat with 1334 other exiled female singers. Old Mamo must persuade reluctant Hesho to join them, because her self-confidence and voice have been weakened by oppression. Since women are forbidden to sing in front of men in public in Iran, Hesho must be carefully concealed in the bus. The journey of Mamo and his musical group is not without difficulties. But persistent Mamo guides everyone toward adventure, emotion and magic … COMMENTS WRITER AND DIRECTOR BAHMAN GHOBADI NIWEMANG MEANS HALF MOON Niwemang means half moon in Kurdish. The title refers to the film’s story as being about Kurdistan being half visible and half hidden. I hope the audience becomes tempted to reach the hidden part of Kurdistan while watching the film … Niwemang is also a rare Kurdish name, and the name of a surprise character in HALF MOON.

  • Neorealism, History, and the Children's Film: Vittorio De Sica's
    Neorealism, History, and The Children’s Film: Vittorio de Sica’s The Children Are Watching Us reconsidered BERT CARDULLO Yale University Abstract Vittorio De Sica used a child protagonist for the first time, not in his neorealist masterpiece Shoeshine (1946), but in his first truly serious film, The Children Are Watching Us (1943), which examines the impact on a young boy’s life of his mother’s extramarital affair with a family friend. The Children Are Watching Us proved to be a key work, thematically as well as stylistically, in De Sica’s directing career. In its thematic attempt to reveal the underside of Italy’s moral life, this film was indicative of a rising new vision in Italian cinema. And in exhibiting semi-documentary qualities by being shot partially on location, as well as by using nonprofessional actors in some roles, The Children Are Watching Us was a precursor of the neorealism that would issue forth after the liberation of occupied Rome. Keywords: Vittorio De Sica; The Children Are Watching Us; Italian neorealism; children’s films; Shoeshine; Bicycle Thieves. Where children are concerned, two myths predominate on film: that of the original innocence of children, an innocence that only becomes sullied by contact with the society of grown-ups; and that of the child-as-father-to-the-man, of childhood as a prelude to the main event of adulthood. Among films of the first kind, Jean Benoît- Levy’s La maternelle (1932), Louis Daquin’s Portrait of Innocence (1941), Kjell Grede’s Hugo and Josephine (1967), Jilali Ferhati’s Reed Dolls (1981), and Bahman Ghobadi’s Turtles Can Fly (2004) deserve special mention.

Having survived 30 terrible years in prison, Sahel is finally released, only to discover that Mina, believing him long dead, has left the country for Turkey, where she lives as an immigrant with her two children, still mourning the loss of her husband. A damaged ghost of his former self, Sahel sets out for Istanbul in search of the woman he loves. As he travels, his journey quickly reveals itself as an uncanny passage through the darkness of their history, the black shadow of the man who has kept them apart all these years re-emerges... A lyrical account of Sahel's past and present blurs all boundaries in the landscape of his experience. Woven together from his poems, the words that follow Sahel are both his curse and saviour. Will he find Mina? Will they learn to live again? CHARACTERS Sahel Sahel is an established Kurdish-Iranian poet whose life has been shattered during the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Sentenced to 30 years in prison on charges of blasphemous writing, he will learn to survive by clinging to the memory of his beautiful wife Mina, and creating a separate dimension to the four walls of his cell through his poems.
