El Profesor Raffaele Mauriello de la Universidad Allameh Tabataba'i de Teherán visita nuestra facultad esta semana en una estancia Erasmus+. El miércoles, 24 de abril a las 12h:30 en la sala 17.02.75 impartirá una breve conferencia sobre pinturas murales de la capital iraní titulada:

"Muralismo en Teherán: desde los inicios de la Revolución hasta el presente".

Invitamos a todos los alumnos de postgrado y doctorand@s a participar en este evento, que a nuestro parecer es una oportunidad única de conversar con el profesor Mauriello sobre el tema de su investigación.

¡Ahí os esperamos!

*CFP* “REFOCUS: THE FILMS OF RAKHSHAN BANIETEMAD”, BOOK CHAPTER

Rakhshan Benietemad is one of the first Iranian female directors with a career spanning over 40 years. Besides leaving a rich legacy through both her documentaries and fiction films, she has been an influential figure in Iranian film industry. This is evident especially in her Endorsement and collaboration in establishing ‘Karestan’, a documentary initiative to produce documentary films on Iranian entrepreneurs.

Rakhshan Banietemad along with other female pioneers such as Pouran Derakhshandeh and Tahmineh Milani not only have paved the way for women to enter the film industry in Iran, she has also helped transform the representation of women in Iranian films. Incorporating stories from her research and documentaries into her fiction films has created some of the best female-centric social realist films coming out of Iran. Although Rakhshan Banietemad and her films have been subject of much scholarly writing, there are many aspects of her films that have not been scrutinised in full, in a cohesive study such as the proposed one. The proposed anthology intends to put together a comprehensive and fresh study of her work. Chapters focusing on both single films and themes or her work as a whole are welcomed.
