  On co-existence of local and global cultures, theorists such as Robertson and Giddens focus on the dialectics of the local and global culture. Inspired by this approach, this paper delves into the particular and general dialectics and development-oriented cultural change in Hawraman. The central questions are: How do local residents think about the dialectics of local and global cultures? What is their impression about universalist and particularistic behaviors? Methodology of the article is qualitative methods. Different techniques such as oral history, content analysis, field observations and interviews are used for data collection.The collected data was analyzed using content and thematic analysis techniques. The results showed that a change has happened in Hawraman handicrafts to increase product sale and efficiency; this is in line with the revival of the local within the framework of global rules. In this regard, Hawramani youth are trying to represent local culture in the media in order to promote tourism and universalization of local culture. Women see economic activity as a liberating behavior which provides them with various opportunities. Also, the people in Hawraman have had a local reading of the universal rules, such as environmental protection, and, in this way, have made the dialectics of the particular and the universal. In this way, they have made the grounds for institutionalization of development-oriented and universalist perspectives. So, it is necessary to pay attention to the cultural contexts of local communities and pave the path of development by appropriately combining the global with the local culture. Manuscript profile

  2 - The Evental Dialectics of the Subject-Artist and Art in Julian Barnes’ “The Noise of Time” and Bozorge Alavai’s “Cheshmhayash (Her Eyes)”

  The present research seeks to demonstrate that Julian Barnes in his “The Noise of Time” (2016) and Bozorge Alavi in “Her Eyes” (1998) have devoted meticulous attention to the emancipatory function of art as a truth generator. Both novelists, obsessed with the socio-political concerns in their writings, represent the confrontation between the subject and subjugation. The key claim is that these novelists deem militant art as one of the pivotal modes of disagreement with power wherein the subject-artist recognises the evental significance of art via a rupture and in his dialectics of subjectivisation manifests fidelity to this event through and through. Dimitri Shostakovich, the protagonist of “The Noise of Time”, preserves his personal and artistic integrity in struggle with Stalinist power despite the fact that some label him as a traitor. The master painter Makan, the hero of the novel “Her Eyes”, portrays the sufferings of the afflicted peasants oppressed by tyranny and injustice in his art gallery, and ultimately death terminates his militant life in exile. The theoretical basis of this comparative research is interdisciplinary, within a post-Marxist reading, and employs Alain Badiou’s core concepts including conditions, art as truth generator, dialectics, rupture, subject and subjectivisation, and the event.

  3 - Dialectic of Predestination and Free Will in Love: Investigating the Influence of Ash'ari Thought on Saadi's Love Poems

  Saadi grew up in the Ash'ari school, and the influence of Ash'ari words can be easily seen in Saadi's works. The influence of fate and fate on destiny, the influence of nature and essence on human actions, and the lack of influence of education on changing a person's moods and morals can be seen everywhere in Saadi's generalities. In addition to many themes of this kind, another common theme can be seen in Saadi's lyrical and love poems with the concept that love is an involuntary and irrational thing and one cannot resist love or make a choice. That is, the idea of predestination dominates Saadi's love poems, and the question arises as to whether this predestination originates from the words and education of Ash'ari, or is it simply a vehicle for creating a literary theme. With a more detailed examination of Saadi's generalities, using the analytical descriptive method, we come to the conclusion that the influence of Ash'ari's words on Saadi is not such that it made him fall into determinism; Saadi is a free and intellectual person and despite his contemporaries, he does not believe in absolute predestination; As a result, the theme of human helplessness in the world of love is simply an artistic theme and Saadi has used it to express the power of love.Keywords: Ash'arism, Determinism, Dialectics, Saadi.

  The poems of Khosrow and Shirin Hakim Nezami are among the famous Persian poems in the field of lyrical literature. The basis of the story is love. In this story, in which several loves are flowing, the position of the lover and the beloved is often shifting and fluctuating. The course of the story becomes sometimes normal and sometimes unconventional. One of the unconventional actions is the domination of the lover over the beloved. It was expected that in proportion to the gravity and magnetic field of the beloved, the proportionality of domination would be exercised in favor of the beloved, but; Contrary to expectations, we are witnessing fluctuations and changes in the position of our domination. In an interdisciplinary study using descriptive-analytical sources, documents and library tools, this study examines the nature and reasons for the fluctuation of lover domination in these systems from a sociological perspective, based on the views of George Lukács, Pierre Bourdieu and Theodore Adorno. Because; Behavior is derived from the psyche. This study also approaches psychoanalytic critique. Findings show: hegemony of power, class bases, objects and mentalities of society and the poet; the fluctuation of domination has been in favor of the upper classes, and this dialectic has led to a military attitude and approach to the fluctuation of domination.

  5 - The Evaluation of Hawting’s Methodological Viewpoints within the Domain of the Historical Literary Criticism of the Qur’ān
  Hasan Rezaee Haftadur mohammad dargahzade safar nasirian

  Nowadays, the precise and principled understanding of the orientalists’ viewpoints and their research methods in studying the Qur’ān as well as the scientific criticism of these viewpoints based on robust religious and intellectual principles are undeniable necessities. Literary criticism is a critical method that has been applied by the orientalists to the qur’ānic studies. One of the scholars that has used this method – of course via an intertextual approach – to study the qur’ānic verses is Gerald Hawting, the British Qur’ān researcher. Hawting’s literary criticisms against the Qur’ān are in three directions, namely the appearance of the Qur’ān in a sectarian atmosphere, the dialectical nature of the qur’ānic verses, and the temporal lateness of the Qur’ān compared to its audience. These three dimensions can be rejected based on the intellectual and narrative reasons, as follows. First, the mere connection of the Islamic world with the monotheistic religions that had appeared before it is not a reason for the effectiveness of those religions on the appearance of the Qur’ān. Moreover, unlike other sacred Scriptures, the Qur’ān does not have a human nature and its text involves various types of miraculous qualities such as eloquence, sublimity of meaning, and freedom from any disagreement in expression. All these wonders derive from its divine and non-human nature. ... Manuscript profile

  6 - Explaining the dialectic of space and the concept of the right to the city from the perspective of critical urban theories

  Urban spaces cannot be considered only as a natural structure in the framework of the historical growth and development of cities. Rather, these spaces are always organized and reproduced through various factors such as capital, politics, ideology and society. This is despite the fact that today, due to the dominance of capital-oriented policies on urban spaces, the social dimensions of space production have been neglected. In such a city, the rights of citizens in influencing the spaces of daily life have been marginalized. In contrast to this common thinking, critical urban theories have been formed based on the fundamental criticism of these approaches and the disclosure of the main factors that exclude citizens from urban spaces. Therefore, this article, with a fundamental approach and by adopting a descriptive-analytical method and by using qualitative and critical analyzes based on critical urban theories, by explaining the spatial dialectic in relation to the effects of politics, capital and society in the production of space, tries to reveal the roots of the deprivation of the contemporary urban society. By applying the concept of the right to the city, we argue that strategies based on the social will of city residents can be presented against these attitudes governing the urban space, and we also believe that urban praxis as a social action will play an effective role in the urban space by responding to the demands of an urban society in order to achieve the social benefits of citizens.

  Aim of this article is study the changes in the political system after the withdrawal of Reza Shah to the establishment of the dictatorship of Mohammad Reza Shah. Since studies in the field of Iranian social history are based on the narrations of historians and published documents, but oral history, which speaks of historical events, has been ignored. In this research, data gathered from interviews conducted in the early 1980's with grassroots and Pahlavian politicians. The research approach is based on Abduction and avoids the application of the theoretical framework due to the role of specialism and historical relativity in the field of historical sociology, which leads to a deductive approach. The results, which were obtained by elementary analysis, showed that at the beginning of the reign of Mohammad-Reza Shah, Iran was political instability and parliament, parties and the press, along with the government's cabinet have important roles in making political decision. The relations of these elements were based on supplementary dialectics and with the Shah based on compensatory dialectics and sought to utilize the opportunities available to compensate for lost opportunities during the Reza Shah era; the only presence of the Toudeh party in this period was different with other Social forces. The Toudeh party, also active in the Reza Shah era, continued actions during this period, but was kept away from the official presence of politics because of opposition to the monarchy.

  9 - Reading Architectural Spaces Based on Historical Dialectical Models (Case study: Bernard Tschumi's architecture)

  This research focuses on the role of dialectics in architectural design and the interpretation of text and architectural spaces based on this approach. In today's constantly changing post-modern life, the issue of meaningful and identity-based design in architecture is a topic of discussion. Dialectics necessitates the creation of spaces derived from fundamental concepts of existence for human interaction with the environment and the continuous creation of events. As one of the acts of existence, dialectics can serve as a concept in phenomena and explain the method in categories. The research is conducted using descriptive, analytical, and phenomenological methods, and the various layers of conceptual existence are analyzed through analogical and inductive approaches. The concepts are then reviewed using the dialectical method, and the different modes of interaction between component layers are analyzed. The Swiss architect Bernard Tschoumi's works are examined and interpreted as a case study, and the three-level component concepts are explored. The case study is analyzed, and the results are extracted hermeneutically. The components of architectural design derived from dialectics are then read, and an effective dialectical model for text reading is developed, which has the ability to adapt and visualize the conceptual components that are influential in design. This process has the potential to provide identity to architectural spaces in today's continuously evolving life. Manuscript profile
