Comme le voyage d’une rivière
No full textInternational audienceLike the Journey of a River retraces the inner odyssey of Sayed Mahdi Munadi, whose childhood, marked by exile, shaped the meanders of a life divided between Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and France. Through the subtle tapestry of his memories, the author reflects on resilience, the construction of identity, and the intimate continuity that connects generations. This narrative, where philosophical meditations and personal confessions resonate with rare finesse, reveals the slow transmutation of suffering into lucidity. By highlighting the depth of family ties, particularly the maternal bond he shares with his grandmother, Bibi, he illuminates, with restrained gravity, the invisible yet persistent scars of uprooting.Comme le voyage d’une rivière retrace l’odyssée intérieure de Sayed Mahdi Munadi, dont l’enfance, placée sous le signe de l’exil, a dessiné les méandres d’une vie partagée entre l’Iran, l’Irak, la Syrie, l’Afghanistan, le Pakistan, la Chine et la France. À travers la trame subtile de ses souvenirs, l’auteur médite sur la résilience, la construction de l’identité et la continuité intime qui relie les générations. Ce récit, où se répondent avec une rare finesse méditations philosophiques et aveux personnels, révèle la lente transmutation de la souffrance en lucidité. En faisant résonner la profondeur des attaches familiales, notamment le lien matriciel qui l’unit à sa grand-mère, Bibi, il éclaire avec une gravité retenue les stigmates invisibles, mais persistants du déracinement

Characterization and antioxidant activity of bitter vetch protein-based films containing pomegranate juice
No full textThe effect of different amounts of pomegranate (Punica granatum, Malas Isfahan cultivar) juice, endowed with high antioxidant activity, on the bitter vetch seed protein films was investigated. We demonstrated that the films prepared in the presence of pomegranate juice exhibited significantly increased moisture content, total soluble matter, elongation at break, as well as water vapour permeability, whereas their tensile strength significantly decreased. These findings clearly suggest that pomegranate juice had a plasticizing effect on the prepared protein-based films, the antioxidant activity of which was also found significantly enhanced. Since scanning electron microscopic images indicated that film structure was undoubtedly affected, we hypothesized that interactions between phenolic compounds contained in the pomegranate juice and bitter vetch proteins are responsible for the modified properties of the obtained blended films. The potential use of pomegranate juice in improving the antioxidant activity of protein-based films is suggested
The effect of oxidized ferulic acid on physicochemical properties of bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia) protein-based films
No full textThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oxidized ferulic acid on some physicochemical features of bit-
ter vetch protein concentrate-based films. Our results indicate that moisture content, total soluble matter, water vapor permeability, and mechanical resistance values of the films prepared in the presence of oxidized ferulic acid were significantly modified in compari- son with the ones detected with films obtained in its absence. In fact, film moisture content, total soluble matter, and water vapor permeability significantly decreased when oxidized ferulic acid was added to the film forming solutions, whereas both film tensile strength and elongation at break resulted markedly higher. Moreover, atomic force and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that film morphology was also markedly affected by the presence of oxidized ferulic acid, film surface roughness, and compactness resulting higher than the ones observed in control samples. Therefore, these findings show a marked improvement in obtaining edible films derived from cheap starting biopolymers, such as bitter vetch proteins, potentially useful for different food and pharmaceutical applications
DENATURALIZING CULTURE: SAYED KASHUA'S NEWSPAPER COLUMNS ON THE TOPIC OF PREJUDICE
No full textAbstract Discrimination is a recurrent topic in the work of the Israeli-Arab writer Sayed Kashua. In the last couple of years, Sayed Kashua has moved away from writing about the prejudice expressed by his own Israeli Muslim community towards the Israeli Jewish population to focus his attention instead on the prejudice shown by Jews against Arabs in Israel. Self-criticism has always been a hallmark of Sayed Kashua's work so this shift indicates a significant change in the columnist's perception of his own society. Based on a survey of various issues relating to Israeli society, such as the law, the educational system and language, as well as a theoretical review of authors who observe a mutual alienation of Arabs and Jews in Israel, this article analyses several of Sayed Kashua's recent columns in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. It also investigates how the author understands prejudice and, in a singular and surprising way, expresses his concerns and solutions to this problem

Experiencing the armed struggle : the Soweto generation and after
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 354-369).This study explores the experiences of the rank-and-file soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Azanian People's Liberation Anny. Extensive interviews by the author and other researchers reveal the voices of the soldiers themselves. The African National Congress and Pan African Congress archives at the University of the Western Cape and the University of Fort Hare supplement and verify these oral testimonies, as do some published sources. Most previously published materials about the armed struggle against apartheid have already focused on diplomacy, strategy and tactics, operations, leadership, and human rights abuses to the neglect of the soldiers' actual experiences. This study complements these with significant new oral history materials from the Soweto generation of soldiers and their successors. When dealing with MK, many authors have documented issues of the camp structure in Angola, and operations inside South Africa, so much of this detail is only addressed briefly, leaving space to explore the soldiers' experiences. In the case of APLA, very little has been written on its history, and more detail is provided on these subjects. This study therefore deals with the soldiers' politicisation and motivation for joining the armed struggle, their experiences in leaving South Africa and training in exile, the crises in exile which limited their effectiveness for a time, their return to fight in South Africa, and their difficulties in the "new" South Africa. These materials reveal that vast problems remain facing these veterans of the struggle against apartheid, and that they have the potential, if properly supported and employed, to contribute substantially to the development of present day South Africa. Conversely, if their neglect continues, they also have the potential to bring vast harm to the country. Further use of the investigative tools of oral history, especially if extended to the former soldiers' vernacular languages, is necessary to augment the history of South Africa, and these soldiers' contributions
شبکه های اسلامگرایان در آسیای مرکزی ـ افغانستان ـ پاکستان
No full textInternational audienceThis book examines the evolution of Islamist movements from ideological roots to radicalization across Central and South Asia. It opens with a chapter by the translator, Sayed Mahdi Munadi, offering a conceptual analysis of Al-Qaeda, its origins, ideological development, and post-9/11 geopolitical narratives. The subsequent chapters, authored by Olivier Roy and Mariam Abou Zahab and translated into Persian, explore jihadist networks in Central Asia, the rise of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, and the shift from Islamic conservatism to political radicalism in Pakistan. The final chapter investigates transnational jihadist linkages and the interplay between local and global militant actors. The book concludes with reflections on the ideological, political, and strategic implications of these movements for regional and international security.این کتاب به بررسی سیر تحول جنبشهای اسلامگرا از ریشههای ایدئولوژیک تا روند رادیکال شدن در مناطق آسیای مرکزی و جنوبی میپردازد. فصل نخست که توسط مترجم، سید مهدی منادی، نگاشته شده، به تحلیل مفهومی القاعده، ریشهها، تکامل ایدئولوژیک و روایتهای ژئوپلیتیکی آن پس از یازده سپتامبر اختصاص دارد. فصلهای بعدی که نوشتههای الیویه روا و مریم ابو ذهاب هستند و به فارسی ترجمه شدهاند، به شبکههای جهادی در آسیای مرکزی، ظهور طالبان و القاعده در افغانستان، و گذار از محافظهکاری اسلامی به رادیکالیسم سیاسی در پاکستان میپردازند. فصل پایانی نیز به پیوندهای جهادی فراملی و تعاملهای پویای میان بازیگران محلی و شبکههای جهانی افراطگرایانه میپردازد. این کتاب در پایان، با نگاهی انتقادی، پیامدهای ایدئولوژیک، سیاسی و راهبردی این جنبشها را برای امنیت منطقهای و بینالمللی بررسی میکند.Ce livre examine l’évolution des mouvements islamistes, de leurs fondements idéologiques à leur radicalisation, dans les régions de l’Asie centrale et du Sud. Le premier chapitre, rédigé par le traducteur Sayed Mahdi Munadi, propose une analyse conceptuelle d'Al-Qaïda, retraçant ses origines, son évolution idéologique et ses récits géopolitiques après le 11 septembre. Les chapitres suivants, écrits par Olivier Roy et Mariam Abou Zahab et traduits en persan, explorent le développement des réseaux djihadistes en Asie centrale, la montée des Taliban et d’Al-Qaïda en Afghanistan dans le contexte de l’effondrement de l’État et des interventions extérieures, ainsi que la transformation du conservatisme islamique en radicalisme politique au Pakistan. Le dernier chapitre s’intéresse aux connexions djihadistes transnationales et aux dynamiques entre les réseaux militants locaux et mondiaux. L’ouvrage se conclut par une réflexion critique sur les implications idéologiques, politiques et stratégiques de ces mouvements pour la sécurité régionale et internationale
A Comparative Study of Social Symbolism in Nimayooshij’s & Mahdi Akhavansales’ Poetry After the 28th Mordad Coup D’etat In 1332
No full textThe present study aimed at comparing the degree by which the main features of Social Symbolism are presented in the 1330s poems of two well-known poets of this stream, namely, Nimayooshij and Mahdi Akhavansales. The study enjoyed a descriptive-analytic research method and the data were analyzed by means of content analysis adopting a library and document-mining style. The results showed that Nimayooshij’s approach to symbolism, under the influence of European Symbolism, aimed at promoting artistic aspects of poetry. In other words, from the two characterizing aspects of social symbolism, Nimayooshij has paid more attention to its symbolism while Akhavansales has equally heeded the two aspects of social commitment and symbolism. A great part of this difference goes back to their different social outlooks
Tão dúbio, tão coerente: forma e conteúdo nas crônicas jornalísticas de Sayed Kashua
No full textEste artigo consiste na análise de duas crônicas jornalísticas do escritor árabe-israelense Sayed Kashua publicadas no jornal israelense Haaretz. Estes textos são selecionados devido à sua riqueza de conteúdo e pelo uso de estratégias retóricas, tais como a autoironia e o sarcasmo, para expor os conflitos pelos quais passa o “eu do cronista” retratado pelo autor. Este estudo tem como base os Estudos Culturais e os Novos Paradigmas Literários, ferramentas que permitem o estudo das crônicas jornalísticas como textos literários. Nestas crônicas, de uma maneira despretensiosa, partindo de experiências subjetivas e de temas familiares, com autoironia e tom satírico, Kashua reporta as experiências de um árabe israelense que vive num embate em torno de suas duplas lealdades e ideologias conflitantes, refletindo uma negociação entre sua etnicidade e sua nacionalidade. A crônica, neste contexto, é considerada o local apropriado para a escrita de Kashua: a ambiguidade do gênero é similar à necessidade de quebras de dualidades na sociedade israelense para entendermos e convivermos com o “eu do cronista” de Sayed Kashua. So dubious, so coherent: form and content in Sayed Kashua´s journalistic chronicles - Abstract: This paper consists of the literary analysis oftwo journalistic chronicles written in Hebrew by the Muslim Arab Israeli author Sayed Kashua published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. These texts are selected due to their richness of content and use of rhetorical strategies such as self-irony and sarcasm to expose the conflicts through which the “I of the chronicler” portrayed by the author goesthrough. This analysis will rely on theoretical assumptions of Cultural Studies and the “New literary paradigms”, tools that will enable us to study the journalistic chronicle as a literary text. In these chronicles, in a non-pretentious way, coming from the subjective experiences and family topics, with self-irony and in a satirical way, Kashua reports the experiences of an Israeli Arab who lives in a clash over his dual loyalty and conflicting ideologies, reflecting a negotiation between his ethnicity and his nationality. The chronicle, in this context, is considered the appropriate location for Kashua’s writings: the ambiguity of the literary genre is similar to the necessity of breaking dualities in Israeli society to understand and to be acquainted with the “I of the chronicler” of Sayed Kashua
