  • An Analysis of Iranian War Film Genres )1980 2013( with Niklas Luhmann’S Social Systems Theory
    Genre Shift and Identity Maintenance – An Analysis of Iranian War Film Genres (1980_2013) with Niklas Luhmann’s Social Systems Theory Golnaz Sarkar Farshi* Received: 2018/01/15 Accepted: 2018/08/11 Abstract A close observation of Iran-Iraq war films in the Iranian society reveals that their genres have shifted in the course of the society’s evolution. This questions the category-based principles of genre we have known so far in literature concerning film theory and necessitates a new conceptualization of genre, which can be realized with the aid of Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory. This theory abandons categorization in favor of functional differentiation and helps us observe Iranian war movies in their societal context. By taking a close look at the function of film in the society as one of the mass media, and through locating the concepts of memory, reality, identity and genre in Luhmann’s theory, I shall find a pattern in the mentioned genre shift which is in turn punctuated by the Iranian society’s different stages of evolution. To do so, I shall rely on a qualitative, analytical and critical method. Keywords: film genre, identity, Iran-Iraq war, Niklas Luhmann, social systems theory, war film *.

    Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik Alena Strohmaier Medienraum Diaspora Verortungen zeitgenössischer iranischer Diasporafilme Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik Reihe herausgegeben von I. Ritzer, Bayreuth, Deutschland Die Reihe „Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik“ versteht sich als Brücken- schlag zwischen Ansätzen von Medientheorie und ästhetischer Theorie. Damit sollen ästhetische Qualitäten weder als determinierende Eigenschaften einer tech- nologisch-apparativen Medialität noch als Effekt dieses medialen Apriori begriffen sein. Stattdessen werden sowohl die Relevanz des Technologisch-Apparativen als auch die im Rahmen der apriorischen Konstellation sich entfaltende Potentialität an ästhetischen Verfahren ernst genommen. Die Frage nach medienästhetischen Qualitäten bedeutet demnach, die einem Medium zur Verfügung stehenden ästhe- tischen Optionen zu spezifzieren, um ihrer Rolle bei der Konstitution des jeweili- gen medialen Ausdrucks nachzuspüren. Dabei projektiert die Reihe insbesondere, entweder bislang vernachlässigte Medienphänomene oder bekannte Phänomene aus einer bislang vernachlässigten Perspektive zu betrachten.

Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Ludwig Paul 2. Gutachter: Herr Professor Dr. Philip G. Kreyenbroek Datum der Disputation: 04 März 2016 To my best friends: Kobra, Rebin, Denise and Nick Acknowledgements As the author of this thesis, I wish to acknowledge the support of many friends who helped me in this work. First of all, I would like to honor my colleague, Carsten Bettermann, who sadly forever left us at a young age. I was lucky to have many interesting discussions with him about the form of Old and Middle Iranian versification. Furthermore I had the good fortune to participate in his courses on Avestan and Middle Persian. He even kindly arranged a course for versification in Avestan. He greatly supported me as I prepared the section in this dissertation on Old Iranian languages. The death of this unbelievably talented person was a great loss for all the colleagues and students in the Asien-Afrika-Institut at the University of Hamburg. I would like to thank my professors Ludwig Paul, Philip Kreyenbroek, and Omid Tabibzadeh, who during the course of my studies have always supported me. I owe a debt of gratitude to two kind friends, Peter Keil and his wife Marie-Luise Keil, for their support. Peter Keil very kindly translated for me ten articles from French into German (Jean Kellens 2006; Jerzy Kuryłowicz 1952 and 1972; Gilbert Lazard 1984, 1985, and 1990; Antonie Meillet 1900 and 1925; Eric Pirart 2004; Hermann Trödel 1874).

The preseismic condition of the buildings in the town was assessed based on a long sequential SAR coherence (LSSC) method, in which we considered 55 of the 56 images to produce a coherence decay model with climatic and temporal parameters.
