Abstract:

"Following the coup d’etat of 1953 and the trauma caused by it gradually in the 60s and 70s in Iran a new subjectivity, a new vision for the Iranian subject of modernity emerged. Iranians were called by their intellectuals to overcome the trauma, which was called “occidentosis”, a state in which everything that they try to create and produce is “stilborn”. They were asked to no longer accept predestination and quietism, developing courage instead, becoming militant and finding their own, authentic way of encountering technologies and the West.

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <em> </em> <em>                   </em>One of the major characteristics of modern Persian literature has been inclusion of subjects and themes that are related to common masses. Writers and poets started to give space to issues that had to do with the general condition of people in the society. Though it was not a typically Iranian phenomenon, the idea was borrowed from the writers of the Western World and was possible because of exchange of literature, translation and a vit

Abstract:

During the Soviet era, the works of 55 contemporary Iranian authors were translated into Russian and published in the Soviet Union. Prefaces and afterwords, usually written by Iran scholars, provided the Soviet reading audience with a paradigm for perceiving the translated novels and short stories. This paper aims to offer an analytical survey of the history of the translation of modern Iranian fiction into Russian and to trace the major trends in the representation of the translated works. The thematic range of translated works correlated with the domestic political agenda and the changes in

Abstract Malformed, mutilated, dismembered, blinded, paralyzed, characters in contemporary Iranian literature are subjected to brutal abuse. This article aims to show that these torments, through the work of seven authors: Ṣādeq Hedāyat, Hušang Golširi, Bahrām Ṣādeqi, Reżā Barāheni, Qāżi Rabiḥāvi, Esmāʿil Faṣiḥ and Nasim Marʿ⁠aši, all over whom the shadow of Hedāyat looms, are the incarnation of historical violence in the flesh of contemporary Iranian literature. I argue that the metamorphoses of violence that run through Iranian literature in the 20th and early 21st centuries, beyond the diff

Sadiq Hidayat is renown Persian writer. He is one of the few Iranian Persian writers whose many fictions have been translated into Urdu. He introduced modern techniques in Persian fiction. In some of his stories Sadiq Hidayat has presented the subject of death from different angles. somewhere in the human being there is a desire to escape from his problems in the death. This desire of death can be found in some of his short stories because he also committed suicide by suffocating poison gas on April 9, 1951 in Paris.

L’une des multiples formes que revêt l’écriture contemporaine de vie, est la « fiction biographique » qui relie les auteurs dans leur désir de restituer la vie de l’Autre antérieur au sein des textes signalés par leur réticence à l’égard des codes de la biographie standard.

Abstract:

This study offers an exploration of masculinity in both Iraqi and Iranian fiction which holds the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) as its major theme. Representations of masculinities in Iran-Iraq War fiction present a deep, and at times, confounding paradox. Whilst this corpus of war fiction at times deeply challenges hegemony and completely reformulates its own definitions of normative codes of manliness, at other times it strictly conforms to chauvinistic and often profoundly oppressive patterns of male behaviour. By relating these works of fiction to their wider social and political context, the

Abstract:

The advent of Area Studies and Comparative Literature in US academia developed in response to (or, more aptly, as a result of) the Cold War in the 1960s, with locations such as the Middle East relegated to Area Studies due to the strategic importance that knowledge of its histories, cultures, and languages had for global (read: US) geopolitics. On the other hand, the discipline of Comparative Literature constituted the expansion of US literary studies due to the influx of European intellectual refugees, with scholars and practitioners formulating the field around texts in, primarily, German an

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I examine the work of an important yet insufficiently studied Iranian novelist and short-story writer, Ahmad Mahmud. Because of his early affiliation with leftist socialist groups, Mahmud's work has been subject to various, sometimes contradictory, interpretations by critics. Such readings of Mahmud's work have resulted in making him a controversial literary figure. Hence, this project aims to re-examine the critics' current viewpoint of Mahmud's works, which they regard as "ideologically driven" and "Marxist and/or political writing." Although Mahmud's ideology played a

The policy has not contributed significantly to regional stability, but nor has it been a major factor in fostering instability.

The ominous transformation of Mash Hassan into his cow in Sa‘edi’s narrative is a prophetic reflection on the problem of sovereignty in Iran, positioned on the peripheries of glob
