 </b></span></p><p><b>Persian Literature Reading Club’s </b><span style="fon
 t-weight: 400\;">new panel discussion series in the year 2023-2024 will foc
 us on:</span></p><p style="text-align: center\;"><b>History and its Represe
 ntation in Literature</b></p><p><b>Introduction and Significance of the Top
 ic:</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">Mohammad Ali Jamālzādeh\, in
  the preface of his collection of stories "Once Upon a Time”\, has regarded
  innovative approaches in literature\, especially in short stories and nove
 ls\, as a critique of the cultural\, social\, and political lives of people
  across the world. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">About nov
 els\, for example\, he states:</span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-w
 eight: 400\;">"For those who wish to be informed about the social\, interna
 l\, and spiritual state of other nations and countries and want to convey a
 nd understand more about them than what is inadequately presented in histor
 y books\, which only show the political and military aspects of a nation an
 d its system and people\, there is no better and more solid way than readin
 g novels about that nation and people..."</span></p></blockquote><p><span s
 tyle="font-weight: 400\;">Besides\, since novels are created to engage the 
 reader and evoke a sense of sympathy and identification with the characters
  and their world\, they not only offer a form of representation of a societ
 y's state but also place the reader within the </span><i><span style="font-
 weight: 400\;">experience</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400\;"> of th
 at world. Thus\, novels can serve as a means of acquaintance or approaching
  the one who is most distant and “other”\, allowing for the hearing of the 
 other’s voice. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">Literature pr
 ovides the safest space for such encounters of a historical\, cultural\, po
 litical\, and ethnic nature. Novels paradoxically reveal the shared and sin
 gular experiences of the writers and characters on an emotional and pre-log
 ical level. Hence\, novels can provide a space for acquaintance with the ot
 her and a platform or a space for a multiplicity of voices. </span></p><p><
 span style="font-weight: 400\;">Given the foundational importance of novels
  and their relationship with the lived historical experience\, this series 
 of sessions will focus on the examination of some of the most prominent and
  best novels published in the past forty-plus years. The aim is to delve in
 to and shed some light on the historical experiences and events after the 1
 979 revolution up to present. In other words\, these sessions will examine 
 the representation of the conditions leading to the revolution\, post-revol
 ution events such as wars\, and more\, up to nearly the present time\, with
 in some of the most significant novels of this period.</span></p><p style="

  ادبیات</b></p><p style="text-align: right\;"><b>:مقدمه و اهمیت موضوع</b></
 p><p style="text-align: right\;"><span style="font-weight: 400\;">محمدعلی ج
 مالزاده در دیباچه  مجموعه داستان «یکی بود یکی نبود»، ادبیات و خصوصاً داستان
  کوتاه و رمان را شیوه‌های نوینی برای نقد و بررسی حیات فرهنگی، اجتماعی و سیا
 سی مردم در همه جای جهان قلمداد کرده است.  وی در مورد رمان می‌گوید</span></p
 ><blockquote><p style="text-align: right\;"><span style="font-weight: 400\;
 ">برای کسانی که می‌خواهند از حال اجتماعی و داخلی و روحی سایر ملل و ممالک با
 خبر بوده و وقوفی به هم برسانند و نمی‌خواهند به خواندن کتاب‌های تاریخ که تنه
 ا حیات سیاسی و نظامی یک و ملک و ملتی را-  آن هم به طور ناقص و غیر کافی-  نش
 ان می‌دهد قانع شوند،  هیچ راهی بهتر و راسخ‌تر از خواندن رمان‌های راجع به آن
  مملکت و ملت نیست</span></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: right\;"><sp
 an style="font-weight: 400\;">مسئله دیگر این است که از آنجا که رمان به هدف 
 جذب خواننده و برانگیختن حس همذات پنداری و شفقت خواننده به رشته تحریر درآمده
  است نه تنها نوعی بازنمایی از حیات اجتماعی یک ملت ارائه می‌دهد، بلکه خوانند
 ه را در معرض تجربه‌ی آن فضا نیز قرار می‌دهد. بدین ترتیب رمان می‌تواند محل آ
 شنایی با دیگری و حتی آشتی با دیگری و دست کم شنیدن شنیدن صدای دیگری باشد. اس
 اسا ادبیات امن‌ترین محمل و محل چنین برخوردهایی با دیگری تاریخی، فرهنگی، سیا
 سی و قومیتی است. رمان‌ها نه در گفتگو بلکه در سطح احساسی و پیشا منطقی افراد 
 را بر سر یک تجربه‌ی مشترک و در عین حال فردی می‌نشانند. بدین ترتیب رمان می‌ت
 واند محل آشنایی با دیگری و بستر فضای چند صدایی و شنیدن صدای دیگری باشد</spa
 n></p><p style="text-align: right\;"><span style="font-weight: 400\;"> با ت
 وجه به این اهمیت بنیادین رمان و نسبت آن با تجربه زیسته‌ی  تاریخ، در این مجم
 وعه نشست‌ها به بررسی برخی ازمطرح‌ترین و بهترین رمان‌های منتشر شده در چهل و 
 چند سال اخیر خواهیم پرداخت تا از دریچه آنها از تجربه تاریخی انسان پس از انق
 لاب ۵۷ خبر بگیریم و دست یازیم. به  عبارت دیگر در این سلسله نشست‌ها به بازنم
 ایی شرایط وقوع انقلاب، وقایع پس از انقلاب مانند جنگ و غیره تا  نزدیک به زما
 ن حال در برخی از مهم‌ترین رمان‌های این دوره خواهیم پرداخت</span></p><p styl

 he same time\, a familiar figure in debates related to contemporary Iranian
  women. She was born in 1964 around Kerman. She finished her MA in philosop
 hy and has been writing literary reviews in the Iranian press. Soleimani pu
 blished her first novel ‘The Lady’s last game’ in 2005\, which was hugely n
 oticed by the literary audience in Iran. She has won many awards\, such as 
 the Mehregan Literary Award and the Isfahan Literary Award. She also receiv
 ed the Medal of Culture and Art (1st Order). When younger\, she held left-w
 ing political views. The impact of these views had on a generation of intel
 lectual men and women in Iran is noticeable in her writings. She is conside
 red as one of the most prominent Iranian authors looking at the political e
 vents of the last four decades through the eyes of her female characters. S
 he considers her own experiences as reasons for her success\, and her deep 
 philosophical and psychological insights reflect in her stories. Some of he
 r books\, mostly reprinted several times and all well-received by the Irani
 an audience\, have been translated into different languages.</span><b></b><
