 r></div><p><strong>سخنران:</strong> دکتر امید آزادی بوگر، دانشگاه عادی هونا
 ن، چین</p><p>داستان جنایی یا کارآگاهی اگرچه به‌عنوان یک ژانر از ادبیات جهان
  موردتوجه بوده است، در ادبیات مدرن فارسی، چه برای نویسندگان و مترجمان و چه 
 برای خوانندگان، ژانری محبوب نبوده است. در این نشست، سخنران به بررسی عوامل ف
 رهنگی مؤثر بر این موضوع می‌پردازد. وی استدلال می‌کند که داستان پلیسی معرفت‌
 شناسی‌های خاصی را پیش‌فرض می‌گیرد که ممکن است با برخی نظام‌های فکری سازگار 
 نباشد. همچنین به این موضوع پرداخته می‌شود که چگونه از معرفت‌شناسی‌های «جایگ
 زین» برای همسوسازی داستان‌های کارآگاهی با نظام‌های مختلف فکری استفاده شده ا
 ست. از نظر سخنران، معرفت‌شناسی روایی برای تحلیل فرهنگ عامه و روایت‌های شرق‌
 شناسانه مفید است و جای خالی آن در بحث‌های پیرامون ادبیات جهان خالی است.</p>
 </div><p> <br /><em>Presented in English with subtitles.</em><br /> <br />E
 ven though crime/detective fiction has been discussed as a genre of world l
 iterature (e.g. Nilsson et al. 2017)\, it has not been a popular genre in m
 odern Persian literature\, whether for writers and translators or for reade
 rs. In this sense\, the genre highlights one of the ruptures in the concept
  of world literature\, signaling the existence of points of cultural resist
 ance to literary homogenizing tendencies.</p><p>Arguing the genre and its a
 bsence in modern Persian literature\, scholars have pointed at censorship a
 s a major impediment to its rise or development (Abdoh 2014\; Nanquette 202
 1). While the disrupting effects of censorship can partly explain the statu
 s of the genre in Persian\, they do not particularly explain why it has not
  been received well—particularly in translation.</p><p>In this talk\, Omid 
 argues that detective narrative presupposes the cultural permeation of epis
 temologies that justify and sustain the genre. In other words\, there are c
 ultural factors other than censorship that defer the rise of detective fict
 ion in Persian. Omid will discuss how “alternative” epistemologies have bee
 n used to adapt detective fiction to different systems of thought\; present
  examples from Persian to elaborate on their epistemological assumptions\; 
 propose that narrative epistemology is largely missing in debates about wor
 ld literature\; and specify how the concept can be useful in discussing bot
 h popular culture and orientalist narratives.</p><p><strong>Omid Azadibouga
 r</strong> is Professor of Comparative Literature and Translation at Hunan 
 Normal University. He is the author of 'The Persian Novel: Ideology\, Ficti
 on and Form in the Periphery' (Rodopi | Brill\, 2014) and 'World Literature
  and Hedayat's Poetics of Modernity' (Palgrave-Macmillan\, 2020).</p><p> </
