تئوری همان عمل است

: هر جا به تقسیم‌های دوگانه برخوردید حواستان را جمع کنید، خطر نزدیک است

30-Nov-2007 (14 comments)
برای شروع، پیشنهاد می‌کنم به سبک مارشال مک‌لوهان که می‌گوید «رسانه همان پیام است» بیاییم و این دوگانه‌ها را بشکنیم و ببینم چه اتفاقی می‌افتد: عین همان ذهن است؛ داننده جدا از دانسته نیست؛ محتوا همان فرم است؛ مدرن و سنتی از هم جدا نیستند؛ و باز هم از همه مهم‌تر «تئوری همان عمل است و عمل همان تئوری است.» >>>

The Iran threat

No doubt the perceived threat from Iran will diminish should Tehran yield to Washington

30-Nov-2007 (84 comments)
America and Israel have accused Iran of intending to diversify its program – they allege that Iran is using its civilian program as a cover to build nuclear bombs. This supposition begs the question why Iran would place itself in the spotlight instead of renouncing the energy program for history has shown that having an operating nuclear power reactor is no longer a prerequisite or even a necessary condition of obtaining fissile material which can be used for the development of nuclear materials. South Africa was able to develop five nuclear bombs without having a nuclear energy program. >>>

POETRY

A chair

Sanctuary of memories

A chair is not only
Recipient of exhaustion
It is not a decorative ornament
And not only a sitting requirement

A chair is a station for a tryst
A relieve for fatigue
Receive secret or open mission
For exhausted feet to revive and regain

اصلاحات و عصر جدید پسا مدرن گرایی

30-Nov-2007 (2 comments)
تاریخ چپ گرایی در ایران پس از انقلاب تا پیش از دوم خرداد صحنه نقش آفرینی چپ های سنتی بود. دوم خرداد اولین فرصتی بود که چپ مدرن توانست عملا قدرت را به دست بگیرد. با این حال ۸ سال اصلاحات به دلیل تندروی هایی که خاص چپ مدرن بود شکست خورد و اصلاحات با یک بن بست روبرو شد . بن بستی که تا امروز هم ادامه دارد. ام...>>>

نبرد روستائیان و روشنفکران؟!

رئیس جمهور عملاً چشم امید بر طبقه متوسّط شهری ایران بسته است

29-Nov-2007 (2 comments)
سفرهای استانی رئیس جمهو از منظر های متفاوتی مورد توجّه منتقدین دولت قرار گرفته است. اینکه این سفرها برغم هزینه دار بودن و دور کردن رئیس جمهور از رسیدن به امور مملکت داری، همچنان از آنها دست نکشیده است پرسش درخور تامّلی بوده و ذهن نقاّد را به خود مشغول می کند؟امّا از جنبه ای دیگر نباید از خاطر دور داشت شعار ِ اساسی که منجر به پیروزی وی در انتخابات گذشته بر حریفان شد مسئله مردم گرایی و حمایت از اقشار کم در آمد بود .>>>

ADVICE

Don't immigrate to the US

If you have the choice to immigrate to more civilized countries, do so

29-Nov-2007 (106 comments)
I immigrated to the US well before the so-called “Iranian Revolution of 1979”. I always thought I had one leg up ahead of those Iranians that “had to run away” from the tyranny of the Ayatollahs -- to anywhere, including the US. Being born in Tehran, I watched the flock of Iranians from Khorassan, Ahvaz, Esfehan, Yazd, Kerman and Shiraz to the US - you know – the ones we used to call Daahaati – if you were born and raised in Tehran. I used to shun those Daahaatis immigrating from Iran in the aftermath of post-1979, thinking “what are they doing here”? >>>

INTERVIEW

Targeting Iran

David Barsamian spoke to Foaad Khosmood about his 2007 trip to Iran and his latest book Targeting Iran.

No, those are just excuses. I’m talking about the strategic reason which is as I just described it. In order to perpetuate US hegemony over the world and domination and control, any state that says no to Washington is singled out. And a state that is particularly rich in oil and natural gas has even more of an attraction to the United States.>>>
