Abstract: Thinking is manifested by the speech. Through the semantic content of the speech entities, interactions, interdependencies, etc. are expressed. These complex interrelationships, as a product of the human thinking in general, exist in the different languages. Therefore, the spoken language can be translated from one language to another, preserving and conveying the specific content. Unlike the spoken language, the musical language can not be translated. The musical thinking process occurs spontaneously, and the content is “rationalized” by the character of the emotional response, that triggers in the perceiver. By logical musical thinking is meant typical of a geographical area, ethnicity or style development of the melody. That development has no equivalent in other geographic areas, ethnicities and styles, and so the musical thought is untranslatable. Therefore, while training beginner pianist-performers, along with other necessary qualities and skills, is essential to cultivate also the ability to empathy the expressed through the music feelings and the sense of distinctiveness of the different types of melodic structures. The ability to detect the underlying feelings in the work is achieved through different pedagogical approaches, such as: - The selection of an appropriate musical illustration to a short story, thought up by the teacher. - The recreation of the emotional meaning of the piece that is studied or played through created by the student tale, short story, verse or drawing. - The description of what he would draw to illustrate the music that has sounded. Using these methods "the understanding" of the emotional content of the musical work is encouraged - a necessary condition for improving the impact of the student’s own interpretation or the adequate assessment of someone else’s performance. The main method to form the sense of distinctiveness of the musical thought is the selection of a diverse repertoire for mastering. Other suitable approaches are: - Selecting an appropriate conclusion of the melody from several proposed cadences. Composing a logical conclusion of a melody by the student himself/herself. - Finishing of two different in character melodies. - Continuing the melody on a given small element of it. Thus accumulated and constantly enriched fund of musical-auditory notions, is of great benefit for both the more effective memorizing of the mastered piece, and the deeper understanding of the musical punctuation, syntax and the specificity of the musical image.

Abstract: The text makes an interaction between the writer and the reader, the reader’s understanding of a text in different historical periods is one of the methods used to interpret a text in the hermeneutic approach. Iranian mystic literature serves as cradle for the complexity and mysterious nature of textual meaning(s). Hafez, the great Persian sonneteer is one of the interpreters of textual meaning by creating different characters in the utopianistic realm of his poems, and introducing a new worldview to the readers. In the present study the writer seeks to examine and analyze Hafez’s attempts in his hermeneutic reading and his formation of characters named Rend and Pire Moghan based on the texture of his poems. The writer believes that Hafez considers the character – Rend - regarding to its negative meaning, as an interpretation to indicate the dualistic nature of the universe in his poems, because it seems that Rend is closer and compatible to the two – dimensional nature of man. Through his hermeneutic reading on Rend, Hafez gives the term a determined concept to match the paradoxical concept of conflicting nature of man.

Abstract: Literary translation is a kind of artistic recreation. Only by exercising his/her artistic talent and subjectivity, can the translator produce a translation which can ravel the original work. In literary translation, the translator’s subjectivity is inevitable and indispensable as well. So it is essential for MTI students to be fully aware of the translators’ subjectivity during practice. The paper will explore the means to cultivate MTI students’ awareness of the translator’s subjectivity by analyzing the causes for its existence from the aspects of the special characteristics of literary works, translator’s personal factors, social factors and so on, in hope of deepening the study on the translator’s subjectivity and the development of literary translation as well as promoting the development of MTI education.

Abstract: This paper proposes to discuss the conceptual issues related to Women Empowerment as developed in the characters of Chitra and Savitri. Following a brief critique of their human development, both Chitra and Savitri would stand out as fine illustrations (models) of women empowerment particularly in the post-modern context where one more than often discusses women empowerment as an approach to address gender inequality in societies. As stand-out strong models, both Chitra and Savitri, would serve to educate contemporary writers and their Women (W) Empowerment (E) framework would in turn serve to review the current approaches and practices and thereby establish the unlimited and universal application of the re-contextualized Tagorean and Aurobindonian approach to Women Empowerment. The following would be the four sections of the paper: I. Introduction; II. The Chitra and Savitri Legend; III. The comparison between Chitra and Savitri; IV. The Re-contextualization of Chitra and Savitri in terms of Women Empowerment, V. Conclusion.

Abstract: This article aims to explore the issue of Franz Kafka’s The Castle (1922) throughout the idea of Foucauldian Panopticon, which portrays a world seemingly controlled by whimsical leaders and absurd rules. This implication is a poached through the figure of the power. It is believed that Franz Kafka’s novel is viewed as an original reflection on the use and abuse of power and loss of personal rights. Franz Kafka’s novel suggests different looking toward power both panoptical system as a tyrant and also the Foucauldian one. The article notes that the idea of power, punishment, surveillance and panopticon presented in the novel reinforces the tyrant’s sovereign power.

Abstract: In this paper we engage with the bureaucratic project from Zizek’s view in The Trial by Kafka. Kafka has given an exaggerated, fantastic and subjectively distorted expression to modern bureaucracy and the fate of the individual within it. The first discourse is bureaucracy expressed through post-bureaucratic discourses which very much define the main stream of management thought today, highlighting the need for organizational openness which can only come through liberation of management from the closed structures of the bureaucracy. The second discourse of Zizek’s view defends the bureaucratic ethos of liberal-democratic institutions. We point to the limitations of both discourse of the dominance of bureaucracy by discussing key aspects of Slavoj Žižek's work. Žižek displaces the state socialism, and the dominance of bureaucracy is quite obvious. State bureaucracies administer all possible aspects of life. In each case bureaucratic designate are in positions of state power. The bureaucracy system is always watching, always gathering information, and contributes to broader efforts to reimagine democracy.

Abstract: This study detects the notion of “power” in The Castle by Franz Kafka throughout the idea of Foucauldian hierarchy, oppression, power, knowledge and resistance. Kafka in this novel shows man’s futile attempts to overcome the powerful impact of industrialism and its domination over man’s life. The Castle is a societal network and shows the characters in action in a way that strengthens and empowers a capitalist society. In Foucauldian sense, power unconsciously produces and controls everything; it necessarily does not lead to despotism. However, this power makes awareness in the public which can be seen in Kafka’s characters in this novel. In this research, the incidents taking place in The Castle will be depicted, and as a matter of fact, this study makes use of these events to magnify the abuse of power in a capitalist society. In addition, another main purpose in this research is to show how Kafka has magnified the characters institutionalized and their separation from the society. Particular focus is given to the role of Other's power that separates oppression, resistance, and hierarchy among people to promote his normalized knowledge.This paper attempts tomake a sociological study on Kafka’s The Castle.
