واکاوی تبدیلِ گفتمانِ مکتوبِ غزوه خیبر به گفتمان بصری در کتاب طوفان البکاء (مطالعه موردی آثار میرزا علیقلی خویی)»، نامه هنرهای تجسمی و کاربردی، سال 12، شماره 29، پاییز 1399: 69-91

In addition, Tufan al-Boka' (Written by Johari) is a unique work with a religious theme, published more than sixty times with the lithographic printing technique, following the growing demand of the publishers. Although this book differed in the number of illustrated assemblies in each edition for various reasons, one of the assemblies which exists in most of these editions is the image of "Imam Ali's (AS) war with Marhab Khaybari". The main question raised is the extent to which Mirza Ali-Qoli Xu’i, as a prominent figure in the illustration of this book (3 Movable type versions and 4 Lithography versions), was influenced by historical and hadith narrations and sometimes its relative reflection in poems (written discourse) has been in the creation of the mentioned image (visual discourse). The findings based on a library study and a comparative analysis of narrations and images indicate that the written discourse has been an inspiring and structural factor for Xu’i along with other influential issues in depicting this parliament. This trend can be the basis of the images, as well as the imagery of this parliament. However, the Shiite discourse led to some minor changes in the visual discourse. Accordingly, the image is considered as a vehicle for translating written discourse into visual discourse for the general audience of this book.

Today, national identity is one of the important issues in developmental programs of any country. Meanwhile, the ministry of education plays an important role in introducing the national identity as the most important unit that grants identity to the community. In this regard, one of the influential academic courses is history, which shows the past identity of a society to make it tangible and understandable in a group of community members who are in the age range of finding their identity. This study is a descriptive and analytical research performed to determine the symbols of national identities of Iran and Afghanistan in the 10th and 11th-grade history books in the field of literature and humanities. In addition, it was aimed to show the level of attention to this issue and the consequences of lack of attention to highlighting these symbols. Results obtained by quantitative analysis using SPSS version 18 demonstrated that the national identity symbols of Iran and Afghanistan presented in the mentioned books had a mutual origin in terms of culture and history and included the flag, national anthem, religious celebrities, national celebrities, customs, literary books, historical works, and buildings. Evidently, the level of using national identity symbols was higher in history books of Iran at each grade, compared to the history books of Afghanistan.

In the first era of Abbasid caliphate (132-232 after hijrah), considering the policy of taking advantage of Iranians in governing affairs, the ground for the presence of people and Iranian households in caliphate system was provided. The favorable action and efficiency of Iranians in the official positions led to giving the ministry position to some of them. One of the Iranian ministers in this era is Abu Ayyub Muriani (154 After Hijrah) who was present about 17 years in Mansoor’s court and active in relation to the policy making and the other caliphate affairs. This article is to investigate the role of Abu Ayyub Muriani as well as his strategy as an Iranian bureaucrat in Abbasid caliphate system via the descriptive-analytical method and utilizing the library sources.

The era of Sultan Husayn Bayqara is recognized as the period of prosperity of public utility activities. While the onset of these activities dates back to the Timurid Empire (1370-1507), they were considerably expanded in Khorasan during the Bayqara administration and due to the approaches of his special minister, Amir Ali Shir Nava'i. This descriptive and analytical research was conducted to assess the scope and impact of public utility activities of Sultan and Nava’i using historical contents of that time. According to the results, these measures were considerably taken by Sultan and his court, especially his minister, based on the policies of the Shah and his court. These issues involved most areas, including religion, education and welfare. In this respect, Sultan and his court members dedicated efforts to taking these measures in line with earning a high-level and political-social status sometimes based on pure intensions, dissatisfaction with general inequality, acquiring internal satisfaction, and in some cases, fame-seeking.

One of the neglected topics in contemporary research is the effect of separation of Herat by the Paris Peace Treaty (1237AH/ 1857AD) on the economic life of Khorasan during the following three decades. This descriptive-analytical research was conducted to determine the economic topics affected by this issue and the benefits of this topic in the lives of people of Khorasan. Despite the excessive resources in this field and application of a more detailed overview of the topic with an analytical-adaptive approach, the most important effect was introduced as the obstruction of the trade route from East to West and vice versa, which led to the depriving of the cities of Khorasan from the benefits of commercial transactions. In addition, decreased prosperity of caravanserais and relevant job opportunities, changes in the use of agricultural land for opium cultivation and welcoming the trade of this product, and finally, promotion of Russian goods and increased price of products are among the other topics that affected the economic life of Khorasan during the period of 1273-1313AH/ 1857-1934AD. Meanwhile, the role of policy-making by England in line with benefits, such as creating a safe place for India and obtaining commercial revenues due to the blockage of the Herat crossing and attention to the Persian Gulf, is of great importance.
