Stascs show an increasing number of non-governmental theatres as well as weekly performances in such places over the past few years, which has gradually resulted in a new wave in theatrical producon; today, these theatres host not only student performances but also professional works as well The number of non-governmental theatres, like other non-governmental instuons acve in the theatrical arena, is rising day by day. This means a big revoluon in theatre is just on the way. Today, non-governmental theatres are being established not only in Tehran but also all across the country. Without a doubt, this increasing number will increase the responsibilies of the government and its instuons that have more to do with theatre.

  • 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.

  • Visual Representation of Culture in a Locally Developed EFL Series* Mahdieh Mofidi** (Corresponding Author) Phd Candidate, Kharazmi University Mohammad R
    Journal of English language Teaching and Learning University of Tabriz Volume 11, Issue 23, (Spring & Summer 2019) Visual Representation of Culture in a Locally Developed EFL Series* Mahdieh Mofidi** (Corresponding author) PhD Candidate, Kharazmi University Mohammad R. Hashemi*** Assistant Professor, Kharazmi University Abstract The purpose of the current study was to investigate culture representation in ACT series, a recently developed EFL textbook by Iran Language Institute, with a focus on the visuals. Two models were taken into account for content analysis: Cortazzi and Jin (1990) to investigate the type of culture (i.e., source, target, & international) and Adaskou, Britten, and Fahsi (1999) to investigate the dimension of culture (aesthetic & sociological). Analysis of 1581 visuals indicated that textbook developers have placed a high value on presenting international and source cultures while target culture has received comparatively little attention to fulfill the mission for which the series was developed. Additionally, as of the two dimensions of culture, visuals representing the sociological dimension of culture outnumbered those manifesting the aesthetic dimension. To conclude, it can be claimed that ACT series can be beneficial in promoting intercultural awareness among its audience and providing the learners with an opportunity to communicate their cultural and national identity with other bilingual speakers of English. The study ends with some future lines of research for the interested researcher. Keywords: ACT series.
