A car accident left the scrappy young mutt paralyzed in the back legs, lying on a road’s edge outside of Tehran. Kind strangers loaded the gravely wounded dog into their car, fed him then transported him to the VAFA shelter, outside of Tehran. Shelter personnel say if Omid, whose Persian name means hope, hadn’t been rescued, he would have perished due to the extent of his injuries. The dog also had fleas and intestinal parasites, common among Iran’s street dogs>>>

خانم «دنیل وودنات» یکی از مجریان تلویزیون "من و تو" است که از پدری ایرانی و مادری بریتانیائی متولد شده از مجریان پرطرفدار این تلویزیون است. او فارسی را با لهجه انگلیسی صحبت می کند. نه تنها لهجه او مانعی برای اجرای برنامه نیست، بلکه به نظر می رسد هیچ کوششی نیز برای برطرف کردن آن نمی شود>>>

Bryan Turner, who has developed the sociology of the body, examines bodies as “objects over which we labour: eating, sleeping, cleaning, dieting, exercising”. He puts forward the concept of “individual and collective body practices”, which refers to the ways in which the body is tackled by social labour and activity. Body practices, which, to a great extent, could be done in social institutions, are related to the creation of gender>>>

For a deeper understanding of the concept of gender, we need to get acquainted with theories that focus on the social and cultural construction of gender. These theories include Structuralism, Post-structural Theories and Semiotics of Gender, Gender as Performance and Performativity, Psychoanalysis, and psychological anthropology>>>

I can't sleep, so I'm here, writing. Menopause is also here. Menopause, Pre-menopause, post menopause. WTF! What the hell do these words mean? Every woman has got her own interpretation. I brought up the topic at a luncheon with a few girlfriends. Total silence for a few moments and then looks of pity from staring eyes. "Are you pre-menpausal? They asked. "What the hell does that mean? I asked>>>

The concept of gender is as problematic as the “nature versus nurture” argument. The terms "sex," "female," and "male" are biological terms, based on verifiable physical differences. However, to be born with a sex, female or male, in any society does not mean to be born gendered, feminine or masculine. But what do gender, feminine or masculine mean? These terms are confused and confusing, because they are defined by numerous diverging views and discourses>>>

آنتونیو تابوکی، نویسنده ایتالیایی نه عامویم بود و نه سرورم، نویسنده ای معاصر بود که دلنشین و خواندنی می نوشت و در ماه گذشته درگذشت. رمان نویسی آنتونیو تابوکی متأثر از فرناندو پسووا و لوئیجی پیراندلو بود و او این تأثیر را هرگز پنهان نکرد. اتوفیکشن در آثار او تکنیکی است که مدام به کار می گیرد>>>

Two American rappers about to go on tour are considering reviving their colleague to join them in holographic form – because he’s dead. Earlier this week CGI wizardry allowed Tupac Shakur, gunned down in Las Vegas 1996, to join his contemporaries Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre at the Coachela festival in California to perform his song Gangsta Party. Pac had barely changed at all: muscles rippling, bounce, and his distinctive tattoo, if now rather ironically, declaring: Thug Life>>>

Pahani is a fighter who can dish it out as well as take it. Last year, while under house arrest waiting for the outcome of his appeal, he made a home video mocking the ban order on his filmmaking. Technically, the work is not a film, hence the title, This Is Not a Film. Trapped in his apartment, the director doesn’t have a wide choice of locations for his unfilm. There’s the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, and the balcony, with one intriguing dialog taking place in the building elevator

According to Balatarin website, “Abdolkarim Soroush, who had abandoned intellectual debates and entered the political arena, had been supporting Karroubi’s candidacy out of, in his own words, “reluctance and coercion”. As mentioned previously, Dowlat-Abadi supported Mir-Hossein Moussavi and, in his May 12, 2009 speech, spoke against the Cultural Revolution. In the same speech, he mentioned Abdolkarim Soroush as the instigator of the Cultural Revolution and the only instigator>>>
