ASSOCIATION for IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی AIS Newsletter Volume 38, Number 1 May 2017 ASSOCIATION FOR IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی http://associationforiranianstudies.org AIS Newsletter Volume 38, Number 1 May 2017 EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Readers, The year began with terrible news for all those whose jobs, interests and connections to loved ones requires crossing the US borders. The AIS issued a statement in response to President Trump’s executive decree, which you will find in the following pages. What you also will find is a report on a recent conference held in Kolkata on Mirza Ghalib (1797-1869), a research report on the female religious authorities (bibi otuns) of Tajikistan, a report by the editor of Iranian Studies on its recently published 50th anniversary issue, and, as usual, exciting member news, news about library acquisitions and recent activities in Persian studies programs, as well as calls for submissions and applications. The Association will soon announce plans for its 2018 conference, which due to looming travel restrictions is being relocated to Canada. For updates, please check the Association’s website from time to time. For now, let me wish all readers an animating and revitalizing summer with hopes for a more peaceful future, Mirjam Künkler, the University of Göttingen NOTE OF THE PRESIDENT It is my distinct pleasure to serve as the new President of the Association for Iranian Studies during its fiftieth anniversary. The mission during my tenure is to open the association to those who work in newly emerging fields, as well as bringing scholars from Iran and Europe into the fold of the association and promoting gender equality to the association. This means working with such institutions as the Societas Iranalogica Europea and its president, Professor Pierfrancesco Callieri of the University of Bologna at Ravenna, and the Great Encyclopaedia of Islam. With these new partners, we can forge new ties and organize conferences and publications, and invite more female scholars to serve on the selection, administrative and decision- making body. Furthermore, cooperation with other institutions and organizations for the study of Iran and the Persianate world in a comparative context can only enhance our position and standing as an organization.

  • The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: a Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran
    The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Professor Muhammad Siddiq Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2013 Abstract The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Modern Persian literary histories generally characterize the decades leading up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a single episode of accumulating political anxieties in Persian poetics, as in other areas of cultural production. According to the dominant literary-historical narrative, calls for “committed poetry” (she‘r-e mota‘ahhed) grew louder over the course of the radical 1970s, crescendoed with the monarch’s ouster, and then faded shortly thereafter as the consolidation of the Islamic Republic shattered any hopes among the once-influential Iranian Left for a secular, socio-economically equitable political order. Such a narrative has proven useful for locating general trends in poetic discourses of the last five decades, but it does not account for the complex and often divergent ways in which poets and critics have reconciled their political and aesthetic commitments. This dissertation begins with the historical assumption that in Iran a question of how poetry must serve society and vice versa did in fact acquire a heightened sense of urgency sometime during the ideologically-charged years surrounding the revolution.

  • ASSOCIATION for IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020
    ASSOCIATION FOR IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی http://associationforiranianstudies.org AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS This has been an eventful year for the Association for Iranian Studies. We conducted our first ever virtual workshop in August and September. We were able to offer this virtual workshop for free because the net costs of administering it turned out to be relatively low and partially offset by the addition of a new institutional member. The relatively low cost was also important because we were able to preserve resources for our long-awaited conference at the University of Salamanca. Although participation was optional, the AIS 2020 Virtual Workshop had 122 participants and featured about 40 papers and presentations. Looking forward, we may want to consider virtual workshops to facilitate more frequent scholarly interaction between biennial conferences and/or as a way to reduce the economic threshold for participation in our biennial conferences by adding a more robust simultaneous virtual component. For the foreseeable future, however, we still have to think about how best to advance the AIS mission despite an ongoing pandemic. When we cancelled AIS 2020 in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we hoped to reschedule for 2021. Continuing pandemic conditions have made holding our conference in 2021 impractical. Therefore, AIS Council, on the recommendation of AIS Executive Committee, has decided to hold the AIS conference in Salamanca in 2022. Those who registered for AIS 2020 will have their registrations honored for AIS 2022 so long as their membership dues are up-to-date.

  • Twin Poets Who Lived Apart: Nazim Hikmet and Faiz Ahmed by Qaisar
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 5, No. 2 (2013) Twin Poets who Lived Apart: Nazim Hikmet and Faiz Ahmed By Qaisar Abbas It looks like a classic Bollywood movie of long-lost twins who were similar but lived apart from each other. Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Nazim Hikmet belong to the same tribe of the twentieth –century poets who excelled in romanticism with a touch of ideological rendering in their poetic discourse. It is not only this juxtaposition of romanticism with an ideological commitment of their poetry but amazing similarities in their life-long experiences that bring them close intellectually while they lived in different parts of the world altogether. Nazim Hikmet, a Turkish playwright, poet and novelists, is also known as a romantic revolutionary of his time who is famous for his lyrical and musical poetry deeply intertwined with love for his homeland, romantic devotion mixed with revolutionary idealization. A poet of higher level of intellect who loved his people and culture, Nazim ironically spent most of his life either in jail or in exile and when he died he was better known in Europe than in his homeland Turkey. Like Fiaz, Nazim also came from an influential family but he opposed class differences and economic disparities in his society. Nazim Hikmet was born in 1902 in Greece which was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time. His father was a government official in the Turkish foreign service in Greece. He started publishing poetry when he was 17. He was raised in Istanbul but left the city after World War I to live in Moscow.
