Abstract This article reconsiders some Western textual and visual (mis)representations of Muslim women as mentally imprisoned by Islamic rules and patriarchy through analyzing three prominent films by the Iranian screenwriter and director, Hatef Alimardani (b. 1976). It begins by a brief discussion of the portrayals of women in Islamic societies promulgated by Anglo-American media. Then, by examining For Pooneh’s Sake (Beh Kh ā ter-e Pooneh, 2013), The Nameless Alley (Kucheh-ye Bin ā m, 2015), and Ā b ā J ā n (2017), box-office hits offering sociocultural critiques through realistic cinematic depictions of contemporary Iranian society, it demonstrates how Alimardani’s films dismantle stereotypical and essentialist portrayals of Muslim women by Western media and scholarly works, and thus, help us better understand the lived experience of women in Islamic countries.

本文通过分析伊朗编剧兼导演Hatef Alimardani(生于1976年)的三部著名电影，重新审视了西方对穆斯林女性在精神上被伊斯兰规则和父权制囚禁的一些文本和视觉(错误)表述。本文首先简要讨论了英美媒体对伊斯兰社会中女性的描绘。然后，通过考察《为了Pooneh’s Sake》(Beh Kh ā ter-e Pooneh, 2013年)、《无名小巷》(Kucheh-ye Bin ā m, 2015年)和《Ā b ā J ā n》(2017年)等票房大片，通过对当代伊朗社会的现实主义电影描绘，对社会文化进行了批判，展示了阿里马尔达尼的电影如何打破西方媒体和学术作品对穆斯林女性的刻板印象和本质主义描绘，从而帮助我们更好地理解伊斯兰国家女性的生活经历。本文通过分析伊朗编剧兼导演Hatef Alimardani(生于1976年)的三部著名电影，重新审视了西方对穆斯林女性在精神上被伊斯兰规则和父权制囚禁的一些文本和视觉(错误)表述。本文首先简要讨论了英美媒体对伊斯兰社会中女性的描绘。然后，通过考察《为了Pooneh’s Sake》(Beh Kh ā er-e Pooneh, 2013)、《无名小巷》(Kucheh-ye Bin ā m, 2015)和《Ā b ā J ā n》(2017)这几部票房大片，通过对当代伊朗社会的现实主义电影描绘，对社会文化进行了批判，它展示了阿里马尔达尼的电影如何打破西方媒体和学术作品对穆斯林女性的刻板印象和本质主义描绘，从而帮助我们更好地理解伊斯兰国家女性的生活经历。

This study examines the prolonged Palestinian division. Its essential focus is to explore the various stages that the Palestinian political system has gone through and track its development from the British mandate up to the ongoing division between Fatah and Hamas. It aims to uncover the roles of regional and foreign actors which have destabilized the Palestinian national movement. Moreover, it demonstrates the role of the United Kingdom and Israel in inciting the divide and conquer principle during the British mandate, as well as the way the Palestine Liberation Organisation managed to maintain national unity from the 1960s. Finally, this study examines the real and historical reasons behind the current division between Fatah and Hamas, as well as the external factors that contribute to the continuity of the division.

The evolution of the concept of spiritual/religious wisdom (ḥikamt) by the Iranian Muslim philosophers from the 10th to 12th century, may be studied under three main trends namely Mashā’i (Peripatetic), Kalām (theology), and Ishrāq (Illumination). Despite the correlation among these trends each of them grew independently. Among the three, the Hikmat-i Ishrāq (Illumination Wisdom) which is also known as Ḥikamt-i Dhawqi (Intuitive Wisdom) of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi (1153-1191) found a special place as it tended to bring together the philosophical and theological aspects of wisdom. This survey would address the development of ḥikmat (wisdom) among Iranian philosophers (hukamā’). It will focus on three outstanding thinkers namely Ibn Sina (980-1037), Ghazali (1058-1111) and Suhrawardi. Ibn Sina represents the Islamized version of Aristotelian Peripatetic philosophy. Ghazali benefited from Ibn Sina’s writing but took a different direction, distancing himself from philosophy by giving more weight to theology. Suhrawardi adopted ‘light’ – a strong symbolic expression used in both pre-Islamic and Islamic sources – and gave ‘wisdom’ a different edge that involved intuition as a reliable source of receiving guidance. In the study of the theoretical and philosophical aspects of the Illumination Wisdom (Ḥikmat-i Ishrāq) one can find traces of the evolution of the concept of wisdom as perceived by Ibn Sina and Ghazali.

: Multiple alarms over Islamic law, or shariah, have resounded in the United States during the second decade of the twenty-first century. These alarms perpetuate the notion of a clash of civilizations, pitting Islam versus the West. Instead of discussing the clash of civilizations thesis, however, this article proposes that a clash of temporalities has been constructed by a “shariah scare industry.” Focusing on the Center for Security Policy and Nonie Darwish, this article discloses the shariah scare argument that Muslims and non-Muslims experience time in two contrasting manners, what I call frozen past time and ominous future time.
