Mythologizing the transition : a comparative study of Bahram Beyzaee and Wolfe Soyinka
Get PDFBahram Beyzaee, the Iranian playwright, screenwriter and filmmaker, and Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian poet, playwright, and novelist have produced artistic works that transcend the limitations of time and locality to become powerful comments on human life and socio-political and cultural institutions. This research study examines the major themes and dramatic techniques of these two writers to demonstrate how, in two very different cultural settings, traditional modes and themes appear in modem art forms to renegotiate cultural identity. I argue that both writers place themselves in a post postcolonial position which rather than being concerned about 'writing back against the centre' reflects on the cultural shortcomings that leaves their people at the mercy of vicious internal and external forces. I also demonstrate how they demythologize the traditional superstitious beliefs that haunt the present, foreground the inauthenticity of the modern hybrid obsessions that distort everyday life in their countries and mythologize and glorify the positive aspects of history and contemporary life to redefine cultural identity in terms of the best their cultures can offer. The first two chapters give an account of the history of Iranian and Nigerian performance forms in the context of socio-political, cultural, literary and artistic movements and traditions. The third chapter proceeds to present a short discussion of the theatrical vision and themes of Beyzaee and Soyinka and embarks on a general comparison of the two writers. Chapter four is focused on Beyzaee and Soyinka's depiction of the intellectuals as sacrificial heroes whose death may initiate social purgation and cultural regeneration and liberation. Chapter five is less mythical and more sociopolitical. It is a reflection on the writers' portrayal of women in their works and their success or failure in transcending literary and cultural stereotypes in a world where the means of production and socio-economic facts and the cultural developments associated with them demand a rapid movement away from patriarchal values. Chapter six is devoted to the study of another major issue in the process of cultural transition, namely, redefining the position of ethnic minorities in the myth of nationhood. This last chapter is followed by a brief conclusion, discussing the results and the future possibilities of drama in the context of rapid transition
The theatrical works of Bahram Beyzaie : the traditional form of theater and its modernization.
No full textBahram Beyzaie, né en 1938 en Iran, est considéré comme un très grand cinéaste et auteur dramatique de sa génération. Si certains de ses films sont bien connus, son théâtre est moins célèbre à l’étranger parce qu’il a été peu traduit et peu joué. Pour lui le théâtre est le lieu par excellence où renouer avec les formes traditionnelles de spectacle non pas pour les reconstituer mais pour parler au public d’aujourd’hui et lutter contre l’amnésie. Il nourrit donc ses pièces de théâtre, ses films, ses contes et ses narrations de l’héritage culturel oublié de son pays. Cette thèse propose d’examiner l’influence, dans son oeuvre dramatique, des spectacles traditionnels d’Iran tels que le Ta’zieh, le Naghâli ou l’Art du conteur, les marionnettes, la farce du Siyâh Bâzi, ainsi que la trace des mythes et de l’histoire de l’Iran. Dans tout ce qu’il écrit, une importance extrême est accordée à la langue perse utilisée avec virtuosité. De nombreux extraits d’ouvrages de recherche et de pièces sont proposés ici en traduction française. Une importante iconographie accompagne cette étude et rend compte des spectacles que Bahram Beyzaie a mis en scène. Il continue son travail artistique en Californie car il est actuellement un auteur en exil.Born in 1938 in Iran, Bahram Beyzaie is considered as a great filmmaker and playwright of his generation. While some of his films are well known, his theater is less famous abroad because it has been little translated or performed. For him theater is the place where to keep in touch with tradition, not to just preserve it, but to reach today’s public and fight against amnesia. He thus feeds his plays, his films, his tales and his narrations of the forgotten dramatic legacy of his country. This thesis proposes to examine the influence, in his dramatic work, of traditional Iranian performances such as Ta'zieh, Naghali or the Art of Storytelling, Puppet Theater and Siyâh Bâzi or Farce, as well as the traces of the myths and history of Iran. In everything he writes, a prominent place is dedicated to the Persian language used with utmost virtuosity. Many excerpts of texts on the theater and plays are here translated for the first time into French. A very rich iconography, mainly of his own staging of his plays, illustrates the study. Beyzaie continues his artistic work in California where he is presently an author in exile
Amount of sharing quanta energies in Quantum Redshift
No full text
Quantum Redshift disagrees with dark energy and expansion of space and describes Redshift by sharing the quanta energies of some periods between other periods of electromagnetic waves. In the Quantum Redshift, regardless of the material and type of the space objects (stars, quasars, white dwarfs, and carbon stars), the Redshift mainly depends on the mass and distance of the emitter. The paper obtains the amount of sharing quanta energies between the periods of the electromagnetic waves in a non-expansion space and no gravitational Redshift and calculates the average number of the parameter p in the Quantum Redshift. We use the distance and Redshift of 93,060 nearby space objects, including stars, quasars, white dwarfs, and carbon stars, for obtaining the amount of sharing the energy and losing frequency during traveling in space. We have used SIMBAD Astronomical Database. We have retrieved this information from almost 2,200,000 records. The objects' temperature is between 671 and 99,575 K. The distance of the objects is between 413.13 and 0.5 (mas). The paper obtains the average number of sharing quanta energies for different objects at different distances. The results show that by increasing the distance of the space objects, the value of sharing the quanta energies between periods of the electromagnetic waves will be decreased to less than one.</p
Advanced special relativity part I: investigating Einstein’s special relativity at speeds slower than the speed of light and higher temperatures using the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves
No full text
Einstein’s Special Relativity (SR) is an ambiguous theory and cannot describe the behavior of a particle after doing more work on it at the speed of light. The paper uses the quantum structure of the electromagnetic waves to propose a new structure and new movement path of the particle after doing more work on it at the speed of light. The key point is converting the three-dimensional structure of the particle to a four-dimensional structure and increasing the capacity for absorbing and carrying more energy. In the quantum structure of the electromagnetic waves (QSEW), each period of the electromagnetic waves and the smallest three-dimensional part of a particle is like a virtual box its maximum capacity is equal to the Planck’s constant. The capacity of absorbing quanta energy in each dimension is c times the capacity of the previous dimension. Each box can carry 89875518173474223 one-dimensional quanta energies (k constant); however, it is not filled. The condition for upgrading the structure and starting oscillation in the upper dimension is occupying the total free energy positions of the particle. Hence, In the Advanced Special Relativity (ASR) the reason for converting the structure to an appropriate structure of the upper dimension is to provide more capacity for absorbing and carrying more quanta energies. On the other hand, the paper claims speed and temperature of the particle are two different sources of increasing the energy of the particle. Hence, the paper claims to increase the temperature of the particle forces it to convert its structure to the appropriate structure of the higher dimension at speeds less than the speed of light. In part one of the ASR theory, the paper introduces a new equation for studying the relationship between the temperature and speed of the particle for providing conditions and converting to the structure of the higher dimension. We anticipate our assay to be a starting point for more sophisticated new theories for describing the multidimensional universe. Predicting the shape of the galaxies, the size of the universe, and finding the story of the energy during traveling in space are other usages of the ASR theory.</p
How does the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves describe quantum redshift?
No full text
The Redshift of the electromagnetic waves is a powerful tool for calculating the distance of the objects in space and studying their behavior. However, physicists' misinterpretation of why Redshift occurs has led us to a misunderstanding of the most cosmological phenomena. The paper introduces Quantum Redshift (QR) by using the quantum structure of the electromagnetic waves (QSEW) In the Quantum Redshift, although the Planck constant is the smallest unit of three-dimensional energy, it is consisting of smaller units of one-dimensional energy. The maximum energy of each period of the electromagnetic waves is equal to the Planck constant hence, the capacity of each period is carrying 89875518173474223 one-dimensional quanta energy. However, in the QR, at the emitting time of the electromagnetic waves, their periods are not fully filled. On the other hand, they are interested in sharing quanta energies with each other to have fully filled periods. Sharing the quanta energies ofا some periods between other periods is the reason for destroying some periods and decreasing the frequency of the electromagnetic waves. Our other studies show Quantum Redshift can well explain the whole phenomenon of the universe, and real data support our theory. The quantum redshift rejects the big bang theory, expansion of space and dark energy. It predicts dark matters and describes CMB. The paper obtains the basic equation of the QR for use in future papers.</p
Displacement of interference pattern <b>in </b><b>double </b><b>slit experiment</b>
No full textRecently we used the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves (QSEW) to describe patterns of the single slit experiment and its diffraction. In the QSEW, we have claimed that a photon is not the quantum of electromagnetic waves and has a three-dimensional structure made of one-dimensional energies. The photon can gain or lose one-dimensional quanta energies (diffraction patterns) and even share them (Redshift). At the time of losing or gaining one dimensional quanta energies of each photon the direction of the axis of oscillation of the photon can change. the QSEW explains the effect of the observer and predict displacement of the pattern of the double slit experiment after changing distance of the detector. The paper proposes using the trajectory tree pattern of the QSEW to describe interference patterns of particles in the double-slit experiment.</p
<b>What is the change of direction of photon?</b>
No full textIn quantum mechanics, the photon is the quantum energy of the electromagnetic waves and has the behavior of waves and particles at the same time. Physicists' misinterpretation of the quantum photon has caused them to disable to understand the reason for basic phenomena such as the photon's trajectory, diffraction patterns, wave-particle duality, the reason for the Redshift of the electromagnetic waves, patterns of the double slits experiment, effect of the observer, etc. This paper focuses on describing the shift of trajectory of the photons over time. Also, the paper explains the relationship between patterns of one slit experiment and diffraction. The double slits experiment will be described in another article simultaneously. The paper introduces the photon's trajectory using the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves (QSEW). In the QSEW, the photon is not the smallest unit of the energy. It consists of smaller units of one-dimensional energy (k constant). In the QSEW, photons can obtain or lose one-dimensional quanta energies (k constant) and even share them with each other. The maximum energy of each photon is equal to Planck's constant, so according to the three-dimensional structure of the photon, the carrying capacity of each photon is 89875518173474223 one-dimensional quantum energy. In QSEW, the loss or gain of quantum energies can change the direction of motion. The paper proposes a tree of the movement path of the photon that demonstrates the possibility of finding the photon after emitting from each point. This study shows quantum structure of electromagnetic waves can describe the whole unknown phenomena of the universe, and real data support our theory. The QSEW rejects the quantum photon. It predicts the trajectory of the photon and describes wave-particle duality, diffraction, double slits experiment, and the effect of the observer.</p
<b>A novel description for </b><b>interference pattern in </b><b>double </b><b>slit experiment</b><b> </b><b>using change of direction of photon in the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves</b>
No full textIn quantum mechanics, the double-slit experiment is used to demonstrate the wave-particle duality. The paper proposes that the interference pattern in the double-slit experiment is because of the superposition of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude, which move in the opposite direction and form a standing wave. The paper claims that when we send particles one by one, there is no interference between a particle with other particles or with itself. Recently we used the quantum structure of electromagnetic waves (QSEW) to describe patterns of the single slit experiment and its diffraction. In the QSEW, we have claimed that a photon is not the quantum of electromagnetic waves and has a three-dimensional structure made of one-dimensional energies. The photon can gain or lose one-dimensional quanta energies (diffraction patterns) and even share them (Redshift). At the time of losing or gaining one dimensional quanta energies of each photon the direction of the axis of oscillation of the photon can change. the QSEW explains the effect of the observer and predict displacement of the pattern of the double slit experiment after changing distance of the detector. The paper proposes using the trajectory tree pattern of the QSEW to describe interference patterns of particles in the double-slit experiment. It seems we are at the beginning of a new phase of physics that could change our knowledge about the universe.</p
