Collective identity and despotism: lessons in two plays by Bahram Beyzaie / Ghanoonparvar, M R   Journal Article
Ghanoonparvar, M R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract With an overview of identity as a dominant theme in Bahram Beyzaie's artistic creations, this article examines two of his, arguably, most political plays: Chahar Sanduq (Four Boxes, 1967) and Khaterat-e Honarpisheh-ye Naqsh-e Dovvom (Memoirs of the Actor in a Supporting Role, 1981) to examine his reflections on the nature, function, and vulnerability of collective social, political, and cultural identity in authoritarian societies. Both plays illustrate that the tyrannical rulers of such societies perpetuate their dominance over their subjects through exploiting the individual's self-interests, thereby isolating him and stripping him of collective and, inevitably, individual identity. Beyzaie's allegorical and rather abstract approach in these plays contributes to conveying a less topical, culture-specific, and more universal message.

Watch out for the Lion cubs: an unexpected triumph in Africa / Conze, Albrecht   Journal Article
Conze, Albrecht Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract It is no longer a secret-Africa is finally on the rise. For many decades, we have been used to associating the continent with the Six D's of horror: decay, disaster, drought, disease, despotism, and despair. They have not disappeared over night, but they are now being complemented by the Three E's: emergence, evolution, and emancipation.
