Baa salaam,

Dear friends and colleagues, please join us this Thursday, 11/29, for a Persian Circle featuring Xelef Botan (CMES), who will be giving a talk in Persian and English on his travels in Iran this summer.

Xelef Botan is a second year CMES student at UChicago. He received his BA from Brown University in International Relations. He has been deeply interested in the histories, languages and cultures of the Middle East for a very long time. He has visited and even lived in some of the Middle Eastern countries. Most recently, he visited Iran for about two months and did a road-trip during that time, which is what he is going to talk about at the Persian Circle.

راه

سخنران ما در این جلسه یاسمن موسوی  است
پنجشنبه ۸  نوامبر۲۰۱۸
ساعت: ۵:۰۰ تا ۶:۳۰

گذار از مرحلهای به مرحله دیگر ساختار بنیادین زندگی را شکل می دهد. هر مرحلهای، شروع یک دوره و پایان دوره پیشین است، و تداوم دورهها مسیری پیوسته و همواره در حال تحول را شکل می دهد. این فضای دورهای در هنر و ادبیات و معماری به شیوههای گوناگون مطرح شده است. یاسمن موسوی در آثارش تالش می کند تا به بیانی بصری از این فضای بینابینی برسد. منظور از فضای بینابینی فضایی معلق بین تولد و مرگ یک دوره تحولی است، که تنها در هنگام گذار از مرحلهای به مرحله دیگر مصداق مییابد. او در آثارش با ارجاع به سنت شعر فارسی می کوشد تا با جستاری در استعاره سفر در آثار و از نگاه شعرای فارسی زبان، پلی میان گذشته و حال بزند. برای یاسمن ، مسیر این سفر از میان روابط انسان با دنیای بیرون (فضای اجتماعی) و دنیای درون می گذرد. او در آثارش با بازآفرینی فضایی پیچ در پیچ و سیّال بیننده را به تجربه و حرکت در فضای درونی دعوت می کند، و با بکارگیری عناصری چون نور و سایه به دنبال عینیتبخشی به لحظات گذرای بیرونی است که تنها با حساسیت و کنجکاوی هنرمندانه ثبت می شوند. به عبارتی دیگر، یاسمن با تاثیر از طبیعت مولد، فضا را با نظر به ادامه بیپایان چرخه مرگ و زندگی توسط عناصر و فرمهای طبیعی بازسازی می کند

به امید دیدار
