  • Text of the Message by Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi on the Occasion of the Passing of Mrs. Jehan Sadat 18 Tir 1400- 9 July 2021 ‪ T‬
    Text of The Message by Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi On the Occasion of The passing of Mrs. Jehan Sadat 18 Tir 1400- 9 July 2021 ‪ ‬ The world just lost an illustrious personality of stellar qualities. I am bereaved by the loss of a dear friend who in the darkest days of our family’s life stood by our side and overwhelmed us by her kindness and friendship. Some forty years have indeed gone since President Anvar Sadat welcomed us to the ancient land of Egypt at a time no country was willing to receive us, a memory which is deeply anchored in the collective memory of Iranians. My children and I shall always treasure the memory of the cordiality and kindness that was extended to us by President and Lady Jahan Sadat and their children.‬ In the course of these difficult years, whenever my family and I travelled to Cairo to mark the anniversary of the death of my husband, the late Shah of Iran, Jahan Sadat was there with us to lighten the distress and burden of adversities we had all endured. She was a true companion and great support by the side of her illustrious husband through the most challenging times; she took great strides for the promotion of rights and status of Egyptian women. Her name as one of the most effective advocates of gender equality and non-discrimination against women shall remain in annals.‬ I wish to express my heartfelt condolences over the loss of this dear and inestimable friend to her children, Gamal, Lola, Noha and Jehan.‬ May she rest in peace and her memory endure.

  • ABSTRACT BIZIEFF, MICHAEL PATRICK. Jimmy Carter and the Shah
    ABSTRACT BIZIEFF, MICHAEL PATRICK. Jimmy Carter and the Shah: US Foreign Relations with Iran a Year before the Fall of the Shah (Under the direction of Dr. Nancy Mitchell). This thesis investigates US relations with Iran by focusing on the Shah of Iran’s visit to Washington D.C. in November 1977, President Carter’s visit to Tehran the following December, and the US response to the protests in Qom a week after Carter’s departure. It analyses the objectives of the two visits as well as their impact. It then looks at the tragic moment when the Iranian government fired on protestors in Qom. By focusing on this two-month period, which is considered the beginning of the Iranian Revolution, this thesis deepens our understanding of the Carter administration’s policies toward Iran prior to the Iranian Revolution. © Copyright 2019 by Michael Bizieff All Rights Reserved Jimmy Carter and the Shah: US Relations with Iran a Year before the Fall of the Shah by Michael Patrick Bizieff A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2019 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Nancy Mitchell Dr. Katherine Mellen Charron Committee Chair _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Julia Rudolph Dr. Golbarg Rekabtalaei External Member ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and my two beautiful children, Tristan James and Thea Noël Bizieff. iii BIOGRAPHY Michael Patrick Bizieff received his undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.

  • 1 Presenting Traditions with Practical and Contemporary Expression in The
    Presenting traditions with practical and contemporary expression in the Royal Costume Museum of Saad Abad Cultural & Historical complex Sara Kariman Expert of Research Department and Library of Saad Abad Cultural and Historical Complex Tehran, Iran Abstract The Royal Costume Museum of the Cultural and Historical Complex of Saad Abad 1(1921) has over 200 examples of contemporary royal clothing. The Museum has a collection of handicrafts and decorative arts related to clothing and, in fact, it is the only exclusive clothing museum in the country. Indeed, the contemporary history of Iranian royal clothing (before the Islamic Revolution of 1978) can be divided into two periods: in the first period clothing used was mainly influenced by Western fashion trends and purchased from European companies. In the second period there is the strong use of Iranian elements and arts, especially in the clothes worn at official ceremonies. The 1960s and '70s, initiated a combination of original Persian sewing and fabric with modern designs. As a result of this trend, a number of very lavish dresses, including highly embroidered needlework, handmade textiles, and velvet flowers, are kept at this museum today. This initiative, which was actually the beginning of a movement that is still ongoing, is the revival of Persian arts and traditions in contemporary and applied forms. Contents Introduction The contemporary history of the royal costume of Iran (1925-1979) Post- colonial discourse in Iranian art during 60's- 70's Mass production of ethnic art and handcraft The future of traditions Endnotes References Introduction Apparel is one of the most important indices of indigenous and ethnic culture of any country, and includes numerous artistic and anthropological concepts.

  • The United States Alliance with the Iranian Shah: Kennedy to Carter
    Gore 1 The United States Alliance with the Iranian Shah: Kennedy to Carter Abby Gore Senior Essay April 19, 2017 Gore 2 The United States’ relationship with Iran during the 1960s and 1970s is inseparable from the United States’ affiliation with the Shah. The Shah in Iran worked with each administration from Kennedy to Carter with little variance in the individual administration’s approach to Iran. While each administration assigned different priorities to different aspects of the United States- Iran relationship and gave each aspect of the relationship their own perspective, the overall policies of the United States towards Iran remained consistent. The Shah was a constant ally for the United States, and a large factor in keeping United States foreign policy towards Iran consistent as well. The close connection the United States shared with the Shah is in large part due to the United States’ Cold War mentality. Iran became an aspect of Cold War mentality because of the Azerbaijan Crisis in 1945. The Azerbaijan Crisis involved the politicians in the Azerbaijan province, in northwestern Iran, taking over local governments autonomously from Tehran with the military backing of Soviet Union troops. The Soviet troops were in the Azerbaijan province due to the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941 to secure oil for the Allied forces. The Iranian government looked to the United States for help in forcing the Soviet army to leave Iran. President Truman sent an ultimatum to Stalin, who in 1946 order the Soviet soldiers to withdraw from Iran.1 Thus from the beginning of the Cold War, Iran was an important factor both for its geostrategic location and its oil.

  • Gong Jian Was Born in 1978 in Hubei Province, China and Graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2001
    Gong Jian was born in 1978 in Hubei Province, China and graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2001. Jian has a diverse painting practice, from the original "bad painting" style to the later conceptualist abstraction attempts, in order to find inspirations for a series of fundamental problems in painting. Unlike those artists who tend to keep a sustained style in the art market, Jian has always been exploring new possibilities and putting his exploration into the research of the history of painting. In addition to that, he has also tried to bring historical reflections and geopolitical observations into painting practice in recent years. Images of various incidents are the key resources and motivations in Gong Jian's recent paintings, such as the Hong Kong’s ruthless gangster—Yip Kai Foon, Iran ’s Queen—Farah Pahlavi, the first elected Prime Minister of the Pahlavi dynasty—Mossadegh, the Romanian Revolution in the film Videogramme einer Revolution by Harun Farocki and much more. In the meantime, he also actively makes references to the art history template in his painting, applying the technique languages and image materials from artists like Bruegel, Manet, Cezanne, Baselitz, Hockney, Lauder Dufy, Picasso, Kia, and Matthew Wong. Gong Jian found a revolutionary stitching between those two elements and was able to find or separate a new self, which Hegel's called “the second self” in The Phenomenology of Spirit. Unlike the "first self" (the personality) and the "third self" (the conscience), the "second self" refers to the spiritual stage of self-alienation, which is the externalization of self-consciousness, while the identity experience of the objectified world turning back to self-consciousness.
