An Evaluation Of Iranian Artist And The Role

Rhetoric Review is an academic interdisciplinary journal of rhetoric. The journal issues in all areas of rhetoric and writing, and delivers a professional debate for its readers to reflect and discuss the topics and issues. The journal issues texts that investigate the extent and complexity of the discipline. We can conclude from the information that Porter’s main audience were college students mainly in writing classes. Porter’s motive could be helping college students by claiming that once the author knows how to write for a particular audience, they will be more likely to become a successful writer. Porter talks about how students should learn to write for a discourse community instead of writing to

In this chapter, James Lull begins by explaining what hegemony is, “the dominance that one social group holds over others” (Lull, 2015, p. 39). According to the text this is not through direct dominance, instead it is created through underlying politics and ideology. In politics, socially powerful people use their influence to convince those with less power that it is in their best interest to do what is actually in those who are socially powerful best interest. There is actually no benefit to the ladder at all, but through social dominance and persuasion is made to seem that it is.

Possibly the three most important components a writer must understand are audience, genre, and rhetorical situation. When reading critically we become acquainted with these concepts therefore become better writers ourselves. While learning about rhetorical writing and composition we have analyzed Billy Collins “ Commencement Address at Choate- Rosemary Hall” , Martin Luther King Jr’s “letter from Birmingham Jail” and Lloyd Bitzer’s essay on “Rhetorical Situation”. In this paper I will analyze and make connections between the concepts of audience, genre and rhetorical situation in connection to the fore-mentioned readings. In doing so I will focus on how each used these concepts as means to communicate their main ideas and purpose.

Women's rights in the Middle East have always been a controversial issue. Although the rights of women have changed over the years, they have never really been equal to the rights of a man. This poses a threat on Iran because women have very limited options when it comes to labor, marriage and other aspects of their culture. I believe that equal treatment for women and men is a fundamental principal of international human rights standards. Yet, in some places like Iran, discriminatory practices against women are not only prevalent, but in some cases, required by law. In this essay I will explain to you the every day life of an every day Islamic woman living in Iran. You will be astonished by what these women have endured through the

The ability to challenge and question texts continuously is a skill that is essential to have as a student. From an academic perspective, analyzing written works is often done by recognizing the ethos, pathos, and logos that is commonly embedded by the author in an argumentative piece. This method of writing is frequently used to persuade the audience to believe in a specific side of an argument. Authors use ethos to gain trust from an audience by establishing credibility. Pathos is used in text to sway the audience by using tugging at the emotions of the audience and lastly, logos is integrated into writing with the purpose of using facts, research, and statistics in the argument. The text that will be analyzed in this essay is written by

CMST 411 – Rhetorical Criticism: Keep working on your reading for this class. You first assignment will be due on September 24th.

Satrapi shows how femininity and gender ideals was used as an encouragement to support the revolution objectives. The revolutionary leaders needed a motive to make people strongly believe in the revolution, religion and gender was used as the main motive and to strengthen the passion. For instance, in Persepolis, women were depicted as guardians of the nation since they are understood to be the careers of tradition through motherhood. The Islamic regime used the cultural norms and turned women into a symbolic cultural base. Over the course of Persepolis, we see other different examples used by Satrapi like her teachers who seemed brainwashed by the Islamic regime Ideas (96). Fae Chubin’s “When my virtue defends your borders” shows how the 1979 revolutionary leaders’ speeches emphasized that women chastity and devotional motherhood are pivotal to the protection of the nation, its independence and its future. He uses the post-revolution interviews, speeches and writings by revolutionary leaders in the context of a historical review of gender politics and gender discourses in Iran by looking specifically into the ways in which gender is narrated and how traditional notions of femininity in the Islamic gender discourse became reconstructed and contested through those narrations. As an example, one of the revolutionary leaders Olama, said “this shameful unveiling… this basin-shape cap, the cast-off of the foreigners, is a shame to the country of

Shirin Neshat’s TED talk was an eye-opening insight into life as an artist within other cultures. The oppression faced in Iran, particularly by women, provides ample material for Neshat to create politically charged artwork. The subject matter addressed includes the negative treatment of women, an artist’s place in Iran combined with eventual exile, and the western world’s position as it applies to the eastern world. Each theme Neshat has chosen to employ is admirable as fine art and as a political statement.

To begin this project, I will examine the most influential Iranian women, including Shirin Ebadi, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003; Neda Agha-Soltan, an Iconic martyr of the Green movement and a symbol of the Persian woman rebellion; Forough Farokhzad, a forerunner of Persian feminist poets; Farah Diba, Queen of Persia; Simin Daneshvar, first female author in Iran; and Simin Behbahani, an iconic Iranian contemporary poet, lyricist, and activist, nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in literature, among twenty-four other figures that will make my first series of Orientalist artwork. This collection of Persian and Arab women will be published as a book. The title of this book/art series is “Orientalism”. Zaha Hadddid, the world most

Rhetoric involves the scrutiny of the way an author, speaker, or artist utilizes language or words to sway the target audience. Rhetorical analysis thereby denotes a criticism or essay that breaks the non-fictional works into subsections, hence elaborating how every section works in association with other parts to introduce certain effects, such as information, entertainment, and persuasion of the intended audience. In common instances, the scrutiny also deliberates on every involved rhetorical situation or circumstance, on the basis of context, purpose, as well as the audience. One can conduct a rhetorical analysis of various literary works including journals, books, plays, cartoons, adverts, or any other oral performance like speech. One of the most popular and interesting play that has been read and used widely in different learning institutions for literature studies is An Enemy of the People. In this piece, the author, Henrik Ibsen, portrays the major character, Doctor Stockmann, as an enemy of everyone. However, despite being branded as the enemy of the people, Doctor Stockmann has been used to expose the rots happening within town municipality in Norway. Indeed, Doctor Stockmann is not an enemy of the people as portrayed in the play, but the ‘savior’ of the Norwegian township.

A Rhetoric Analysis consists of a multitude of attributes some larger than others and some not specifically require. Among those are certain attributes that are what provides the foundation of any Rhetoric work, Logos, Pathos, and Ethos or persuasive appeal. My job is to show you the other attributes consisting of the context of the argument, the authors’ attitude, and the tone of the overall work. So first I will have to fill you in to Katherine Fowkes’s work.

“Every Iranian artist, is in one form or another, is political. Politics have defined our lives.” Neshat (2010). Each of her pieces offers a glimpse into the realities that shape her identity. The complex, religious, social and political identities that not only shape Neshat, but the identities of every Muslim woman worldwide. She explores and presents the political and social conditions seen within Iran and Muslim life in her work. As a woman living in exile, she is the voice/speaker of her people. Artists like (and including) Neshat are there to inspire, provoke, and bring hope to their people. Neshat didn’t start making art for social commentary; she in fact began after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Neshat had been absent for over a decade, and when she returned her home country had been transformed.

Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel, Persepolis, makes important strides toward altering how Western audiences perceive Iranian women. Satrapi endeavors to display the intersection of the lives of some Westerners with her life as an Iranian, who spent some time in the West. Satrapi, dissatisfied with representations she saw of Iranian women in France, decided to challenge them. In her words, “From the time I came to France in 1994, I was always telling stories about life in Iran to my friends. We’d see pieces about Iran on television, but they didn’t represent my experience at all. I had to keep saying, ‘No, it’s not like that there.’ I’ve been justifying why it isn’t negative to be an Iranian for almost twenty years. How strange when it isn’t
