پس از سالها

[خانه بدوشی هم فوایدی دارد؛ هر از گاهی داروندرات که جز انبوه کتاب و کاغذ نیست زیرورو می شوند یا زیرورویشان می کنی و چه بسیار فراموش شدگان و گمگشتگان که یافت می شوند و به یاد می آیند. بماند که همواره چیزهایی حاضر هم جای آنها را می گیرند تا باشند بازهم آنهایی که بعدها یافت شوند. یافتۀ فعلی مربوط می شود به اواخر دهۀ شصت و یکی دو سال پایانی فرهنگ و ادب در باصطلاح نظام قدیم متوسطه. امید فراوان دارم که آینده مان چنین توصیف نخواهد شد.]

شهر من ...

شهریست

با خورشیدی تیره از ابرهای سیاه

و اشباع شده از

سگهای زرد و کلاغهای سیاه

... تنها درختی در آن است

درختی به ناز سر بر کشیده، اما خشکیده

و تو ای رهگذر

در کورسوی ستاره ها

صدای بومانش را از دور خواهی شنید

آشنا

مصاحبه­ گر اسرائیلی (م. ا.):

- اسم شما؟

فدایی زندانی فلسطینی (ف. ف.):

- اسم من احمد عبدالحمید ابوسایط است.

م. ا.: اسم جنبشی که شما به آن وابسته هستید چیست؟

ف. ف.: اسم این جنبش ابولیل ( "پدر شب" ) است.

م. ا.: آقای ابولیل، به من بگویید که عضو کدام گروه خرابکاری هستید؟

ف.ف.: من عضو جبهۀ خلق برای آزادیِ (به عربی: تحریر)، یعنی منظورم این است که برای تخریبِ فلسطین هستم.

م. ا.: از چه زمانی با سازمان خرابکاران همکاری می­ کنید؟

ف. ف.: از همان ابتدا که از خرابکاری آگاهی یافتم.

م. ا.: مسئولیت شما در جنوب لبنان چه بود؟

ف. ف.: مسئولیت من خرابکاری بود... ما وارد دهکده­ ها می­ شدیم و فقط خرابکاری می­ کردیم. هر جا که زنان و کودکان بودند، ما خرابکاری می­ کردیم. جز خرابکاری کار دیگری نمی­ کردیم.

م. ا.: آیا شما برای هدف و آرمان خاصی یا صرفاً برای پول دست به خرابکاری می­ زدید؟

ف. ف.: نه، خدای من، فقط برای پول. هدف و آرمان یعنی چه؟ آیا هنوز هم هدفی وجود دارد؟ سالهاست که ما خود را فروخته­ ایم.

م. ا.: بگویید ببینم، سازمانهای خرابکاران پولشان را از کجا می­ گیرند؟

ف. ف.: از هر کسی که پول اضافی برای خرابکاری دارد؛ به عبارت دیگر از رژیمهای عربی که از خرابکاری حمایت می­ کنند.

م. ا.: نظر شما دربارۀ عرفات تروریست چیست؟

ف. ف.: قسم می­ خورم که او بزرگترین تروریست است. او کسی است که هدف و آرمان ما را به تاراج داد. همۀ زندگی او خرابکاری است و بس.

م. ا.: نظر شما دربارۀ شیوۀ عمل نیروهای دفاعی اسرائیل چیست؟

ف. ف.: به شرفم سوگند، از نیروهای دفاعی اسرائیل برای خوش­ رفتاری­ شان با خرابکاران بسیار متشکرم.

م. ا.: آیا برای خرابکارانی که هنوز هم با نیروهای دفاعی اسرائیل می­ جنگند و خرابکاری می­ کنند پیامی دارید؟

ف. ف.: پیام من به آنها این است که اسلحه­ های خود را به نیروهای دفاعی اسرائیل تحویل دهند. اگر این کار را بکنند با آنها برخورد خوبی خواهد شد.

م. ا.: آخرین پرسش من از شما، آقای خرابکار، این است: آیا برای خانوادۀ خود پیامی دارید؟

ف. ف.: دلم می­ خواهد خانواده و دوستانم خاطرجمع باشند که من در نهایت سلامت هستم. همچنین مایل هستم از رادیوی دشمن تشکر کنم که به من اجازۀ صحبت داده است.

م. ا.: منظورتان صدای اسرائیل است؟

ف. ف.: بله قربان، بی­ تردید.

Black Light: Myth and Meaning in Modern Painting

Painters have always drawn on the classics to find myths and symbols which will answer to contemporary problems. In Black Light, Francis Gooding examines four modern paintings in the light of ancient themes, and illuminates the permanence and power of the mythic imagination.

• Opening a new dialogue between modern and ancient, Black Light explores living myth in modern paintings
• Examines four paintings from the Modern tradition in the light of episodes from antique mythology
• As the myths illuminate the paintings, and paintings throw light on the myths, Gooding shows that themes from ancient sources can be seen to resonate in modern representations
• Traces unexpected thematic correspondences across two millennia of literature and art, and finds that wherever meaning is sought through interpretation, myth becomes an indispensable tool of analysis
• In the work of classical authors such as Sophocles and Ovid, Gooding finds mythic elements which are also present in paintings by Manet, Matisse, Richards and Warhol

My Friend's Blog

Here is the newest post by my dear friend about his blog:
"Yes my blog is extensively filtered by the majority of ISPs in Iran.

The screen says to send an email to filter@dci.ir if there are any objections.

The answer to email is generated by a robot in "pinglish" (Persian language with English letters) together with an English translation:

Ba salam, nameie shoma dariaft gardid va dar asrae vaght be an residegi
khahad shod. (in matn be sourate automatic ersal gardideh ast.)

Your email has been received and will be revised soon. (This is an
autoresponder message)

These are significant signs revealing much about the mentalities behind."

Cultural Trends

Cultural Trends, the journal that champions the need for better evidence-based analyses of the cultural sector, is delighted to announce the theme for its second one-day international conference.

 ‘Centre/Periphery: Devolution/Federalism’ New Trends in Cultural Policy

The tension between the power and resources at the centre and the interests and ambitions of the periphery is a long-standing issue in cultural policy. This tension has strongly been in play during the years of the Labour government. The United Kingdom has witnessed simultaneously the decline of regionalism and the rise of devolved governments that are using experiments in cultural policy as their first exercises in independence from London. Other countries in Europe and the wider world, however, have longer experience of cultural devolution, regionalism and federalism. This conference interrogates these concepts in the context of the UK cultural sector, and asks what lessons overseas models may have for us.

We wish to invite abstracts on these issues, particularly from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and consider models from elsewhere - France, Germany, Spain and Canada in particular.

The deadline for submission is Thursday 9^th April 2009. To submit your abstract please send an email headed ‘Cultural Trends Conference’ to the journal editor, Sara Selwood: S.Selwood@city.ac.uk" target="_blank"> S.Selwood@city.ac.uk. All presentations during the conference will be published in a special issue of Cultural Trends.

---

Cultural Trends is based on the proposition that cultural policy should be informed by evidence–based analyses. It aims to: 

• stimulate analysis and understanding of the arts and wider cultural sector based on relevant and reliable evidence;
• identify clear trends in cultural provision, funding;
• consider participation, including the differences between different social groups and the  impact of culture on individuals and society, as well as how such assessments are made and used;
• provide a critique of those data upon which arts and wider cultural policy may be based, implemented, evaluated and developed and encourage improvements in the coverage, timeliness and accessibility of statistical  information on the arts and wider cultural sector; and
• examine the soundness of measures of the performance of government and public sector bodies in the arts and wider cultural sector.

More details about Cultural Trends can be found on the website www.tandf.co.uk/journals/ccut
