Record Breaking Crowd at Friday's Prayers

ROHANIYAT

قافیه‌ی باخته

در یک سو، ولی فقیه و تفنگ‌دارانش ایستاده‌اند، و در سوئی دیگر مردمی که خواستار ابتدائی‌ترین حقوق خود هستند

17-Jul-2009 (one comment)
پرسش بسیار ساده این است که وقتی در جامعه‌ای گروهی بیکار و تن‌پرور وجود دارد که به هیچ کس و نهادی نباید حساب پس دهد و تا آنجا که بخواهد کاردش می‌برد، و از آن چنان تشکیلات مستحکمی برخوردار است که بود و نبود حکومت‌های وقت را هم رقم می‌زند، چگونه همچنین گروهی می‌‌تواند پشتیبان مردمی باشد که خود در تحمیق همین مردم بیش از هر گروهی دیگر ذینفع است؛ حتا اگر سنجش زندگی فلاکت‌بار مردم را به عنوان سندی واقعی از نقش ویرانگر نیروهای سیاسی بانفوذ در آن برهه را نادیده بگیریم. تاریخ فعالیت‌ها و کارکردهای این قشر به ما می‌آموزد که هیچگاه روحانیت شیعه بدون محاسبه و یا از سر بخشندگی در جهت ارتقاء جامعه‌ی ایران به سوی دموکراسی و تمدن گامی برنداشته‌است>>>

LITERATURE

The opposite sex

Women in Sadegh Hedayat’s fiction

17-Jul-2009 (one comment)
There is dualism in the portrayal of women in Hedayat’s psycho-fictions, on the one hand as an ideal, unattainable angel, on the other, as a harlot. This corresponds to the portrayal of men: the lonely, misplaced, misunderstood, well-meaning, honest, sincere and moral narrators and anti-heroes who fail in every aspect of their living; and the rabble, who succeed in every aspect of theirs. His critical realist fiction about the lives of ordinary townsfolk is different: both men and women are shown as they normally are, even though their vices often seem to outnumber their virtues.>>>

POETRY

Cast a Spell
17-Jul-2009 (3 comments)
A thousand tender leaves
On branches drifting in the breeze
Their dance of intimate “surrender”
In a play of life’s splendor

A thousand whispers in a bird’s song
Whistling “your” symphony
Between each chirp there is “silence”
Their instinct is an insight
A mystical epiphany >>>
