Golshifteh Farahani & the Iranian cinematic exile

08-May-2010 (10 comments)
The first thing you notice about Farahani is her eyes. Big, intense, and a gaze that is at times uneasy. She wears almost no make-up—her only whim, a pair of fashionable sunglasses which she quickly removes after sitting down. I ask if she’s had time to enjoy the vibrant French cultural life, and she raves about a new play by Ariane Mnouchkine. But she also mentions being constantly on the road, working on a new film, her music or doing press meets. The conversation soon turns to the repression back in Tehran>>>

سکولاريسم در روياروئی با حکومت و حاکم

به محض اينکه تشکيلات مذهبی دست بکار فعاليت سياسی شوند، بايد آنها را از ردهء «جامعهء مدنی» خارج کرد

اغلب ما با مقولهء شرکت نظاميان در حکومت آشنا هستيم. شخصی که بعلت داشتن شغل مديريت و رهبری در ساختار نيروهای انتظامی و نظامی به منابع قدرت سازمان يافته و سلسله مراتبی بی چون و چرا دسترسی دارد نبايد بتواند که در حال داشتن آن شغل خود را نامزد مشاغل انتخاباتی نيز کرده و، در عين حفظ مقام نظامی خود، برای احراز شغلی حکومتی و دولتی انتخاب شود.بنظر من، همين امر در مورد دينکاران و سرکردگان مذاهب (و حتی سلسله های درويشی) صادق است>>>

BOOK

Rumi and Shams

Tribute to great sons of Persia

08-May-2010 (13 comments)
Delving into an in-depth discussion and analysis regarding the Erfân, Tasavvof, and Sufigary, which in the West, are often collectively referred to as Mysticism, Gnosticism, Sufism, or sometimes Dervishes’ thoughts, would have been beyond the scope of this work titled, “The Greatest Meeting”. Among the numerous books that have appeared in the West in the past few decades (mostly inept translations of Rumi’s poetry, or a few scholarly works on his life and time), it is challenging if not impossible to find a clear and convincing definition for these schools of thought>>>
