Gardan Shekasteh

Iranian.com, on March 23rd posted a painting of a women on its first page. This is supposed to be a piece of art announcing Now Rooz. Every time I see such paintings , I cannot help but recalling the word " gardan shekasteh", an expression used to refer to someone miserable and innocent in Persian/Farsi.

Rendering women passive and docile by any mean possible is nothing new. Patriarchal systems have done this to no end. Beautifying docile women has preference over portraying women embracing their imperfection of any sort.

I read Dabshi-Saris letter to Habbermas, and replies to this letter.

To tell you the truth I feel the pints in the replies to D.S letter have not been at all taken in consideration in replies to them. It was not only Habbermas who spoke with enthusiasm about Iranian intellectual dynamic life in Iran. So did Foucault and Salman Rushdi, may times.

Just because Doostdar is tired of the old, doesn't mean he has anything new to say!

Striking similarity between two movies: Ticket (2006) and Offside (2006)!
