Why Ammar Humanities Festival? The “Iranian man” and its recent form and atom, the “man of the Islamic Revolution” are still not recognized in thought and academia. The enlightened thinkers and intellectuals of this region still tend to understand the Iranian man and his problems and experiences under the shadow of the Western man. The Ammar Humanities Festival is, above all, a call to think about human beings. Thinking of a distinct human being who sees his nature originated in Iran and owes his existence to the Islamic Revolution.

We believe that the experiences and problems of this man and the society he builds are worth addressing more than the current situation; More than what is now the narration of intellectual circles, and more than what is now the subject of the faculties of the humanities. Iran is more than a geographical plateau, it is a pervasive human issue. Just as a revolution before a social transformation is an all-encompassing human transformation. We believe that the total neglect of this pervasive human matter can not be compensated except by calls, festivals and movements. Ammar Humanities Festival wants such an invitation. On the other hand, the social sciences and humanities in Iran, during the eight decades of its life, despite the efforts of its thinkers, still need to establish more connections with problems, experiences and social objects. An event that has not only happened in the prevailing state of the social sciences; Moreover, those critics of the social sciences who also operate within the framework of the Islamic humanities and similar interpretations have not been able to escape from this crisis.

Now the subject of social sciences in Iran either has a captive mind or a captive mind. One is engaged in theory and the other is preoccupied with its critique. Facing the inflation of theory and lack of observation as a major issue of social sciences, Iranian and Islamic, but not a simple encounter. The Ammar Festival of Humanities hopes that by preparing a comprehensive movement, it will be able to break the shackles of the aforementioned captivity, or at least create self-awareness about it. In the current situation, in the face of the problem and experience of Iranian people, it seems that imagination and art have surpassed reason and thought, and the Ammar Humanities Festival hopes to be able to present thousands of hours, narration and sequences of works created in art and media. Innovative theoretical reflections in Iranian and Islamic social sciences. Ammar Festival of Humanities wants to be an invitation to a revolutionary realism. The Islamic Revolution has enabled Iranian human beings to engage in social action and historical presence, and our society is full of human beings who, in the context of their social affairs and lives, are the creators of novel social possibilities and meanings. A kind of delusion or objectivity prevents the narration of these facts in the mirror of the humanities. Ammar Festival of Humanities wants to be the narrator of a humanities that does not ignore the Iranian subject and does not stop at quoting theoretical foundations and criticizing practical shortcomings.

Ammar Festival of Humanities hopes that in addition to fostering a social effort to produce thought, there will be a comprehensive invitation to pay attention to the production of dhikr. Knowledge if it wants to fulfill its duties such as the responsibility of remembering the days of God’s presence in society and history (I also mention Bayam Allah), the social responsibility of the hadith of blessing (but the blessing of the Lord of Hadith), restlessness on the belly of the oppressor and hunger of the oppressed and oppressed. Oppressor, and do not oppress the oppressed), act; There is a need for the institution of knowledge to think about the social issue in connection with social forces, and the Ammar Humanities Festival wants to be such a field.

Call headers

Man of the Islamic Revolution: The Islamic Revolution is more than a social transformation, it is a profound human transformation. It is the human revolution that makes the Islamic revolution possible. The human revolution Before the creation of the Islamic Revolution, the product of the revolutionary man. The emergence of a new subject in the heart of the impossible historical, which, by breaking the boundaries of historical refusal, makes the possibility of social action the basis for the emergence of a new human being. The narration of this man and his experiences, although more or less neglected, have been reflected in several works. It is more neglected than the narration, but the reflection on the human being of the Islamic Revolution. The man of the revolution has had experiences during almost half a century of his social life; Institutions built; He has followed innovative actions and has given sometimes innovative and successful answers to social problems. However, it is less narrated and much less the subject of rethinking. Ammar Humanities Festival wants to be a platform to think about this special person; It wants to be a call to a spiritual re-reading that dissolved in the body of Iranians for half a century and caused the emergence of novel events, institutions and experiences.

Society of the Islamic Revolution: Most Iranians who, influenced by the idea of ​​the Islamic Revolution, demanded a new order for their lives, fall into the category of human beings of the Islamic Revolution. We now face a society made up of human beings in search of spirituality, freedom and justice. When they love the Islamic Republic or criticize it, they are on the path to this search. When they value values ​​such as the experience of constructive jihad or solidarity in the funeral of Hajj Qassem Soleimani, or criticize the backwardness in justice, they seek to preserve the achievements and rebuild the shortcomings of a society worthy of change and the idea of ​​the Islamic Revolution. Art, as it became possible after the Islamic Revolution; It was all about the collective problems and experiences of the Iranians. Therefore, in this axis, the study of the art of the Islamic Revolution will also be important.
The world of the Islamic Revolution: Man The Islamic Revolution seeks the transformation of the Islamic Revolution in the pursuit of a world, a human being. For this reason, although the man of the Islamic Revolution is deeply Iranian and the bearer of all the possibilities and possibilities of Iran, he is also a deeply global and cosmopolitan being. On the other hand, human and Islamic transformation in Iran has companions in the world. Human beings who live in a geography other than Iran but are associated with Iranians and their revolution in human values.

The future of the Islamic Revolution: One of the most important aspects of research on the Islamic Revolution was the question of the future: What do Iranians dream of? The question of the Iranian dream in the midst of the movement is an important one. An important question that has become an undeniable necessity four decades after the formation of the system. The question of the Iranian dream, its articulation with the current possibilities and in throwing a possible and desirable plan of the future, is something that has been less pursued in the intellectual and scientific field, but the art of the Islamic Revolution has more or less embodied and imagined this future. Ammar Humanities Festival wants to be an invitation to transfer the future imagination to the field of thought and human science.

How to participate:

The works presented to this festival must have aspects of theoretical reflection on a phenomenon, experience and objective issue. All the works that provide an observational narrative of man, society, the world and the future of the Islamic Revolution can be the basis for the theoretical reflection of researchers. A significant part of the works with this feature, in the form of documentaries and other related formats, have been selected or selected for the competitive part of the festival during the ten periods of Ammar Festival. However, the observational framework of the works of Ammar Humanities Festival is not limited to the works presented to Ammar Film Festival. In addition to the documentary format, the narratives in the framework of photography, visual arts, literature, drama and other art formats can also be the basis of the theoretical works presented to the Ammar Humanities Festival. Folk history and social and cultural narrative of contemporary historical experience is another type of narrative that can provide the necessary grounds for reflection on man, society, the world and the future of the Islamic Revolution. We would like to invite humanities thinkers to use the viewing of several portrait documentaries about the man of the Islamic Revolution as a basis for observations about the theoretical reflection on the man of the revolution. Reflect on a few works about jihad-building, the literacy movement, the Ammar Festival of Humanities, talk about the institutionalization of the Islamic Revolution and the civic model of revolutionary human action, or in the margins of a documentary or any other observational work on environmental issues, labor and women, and protests. Social theorists to raise theoretical issues on these issues.

Presentation formats:

1. Scientific Paper

The presentation of the discussion in this format follows the usual patterns of essay writing. The most important issue in the research presented in this framework is that the articles contain theoretical reflections on observations in the specified axes.

۲. Notes

The volume of notes is less than articles and does not need to follow all the items in the article format. To compile a base note, it is sufficient to place an objective narrative and then formulate that narrative within the framework of a theoretical reflection.

3. Scientific speech

Oral tradition has always been of great importance in the history of science. Thinking began with oral conversations and speeches, and even the most important texts of classical philosophy, such as Farabi’s works, have been the written form of symbolic oral conversations. However, today, and especially in the Iranian social sciences, the oral tradition is completely dominated by written works; If we do not say that the oral matter has gone to the written matter and has been completely eliminated.

Throughout modern history and now, both in the continental social sciences and in the analytical social sciences, the oral tradition has played an influential role in the creation of scientific texts in two different ways. Apart from contemporary social sciences, the role of oral tradition has been central in the social sciences of Muslims in the classical period and in our own educational and historical tradition. In some cases, it is the oral tradition that forms the main texts, and the texts referred to as deeds are all of these.

We at Ammar Festival of Humanities seek to pay attention to the importance of oral tradition. This tradition is more important to us because it allows much more “dialogue” and interaction with the audience than the written tradition. In particular, we believe that an important part of the perspective and future of the Iranian social sciences, like an important part of its past, is established in the informal environment, in the public sphere and outside the closed and specialized academic contexts. For this reason, at the Ammar Humanities Festival, we make it possible for thinkers to present their reflections in the form of twenty-minute speeches.

4. Report

Iranian social sciences, both academically and among its critics and believers in Islamic social sciences, despite the distance from the observation of social objectivity, carry many ideas that are formed either in interaction with some existential experiences of thinkers or significant possibilities. But it leaves abandoned and stalled for the observation of man and society. The report includes notes that can describe observations based on ideas from the Iranian social sciences and social thought.

5. Annotation

For centuries, the tradition of annotation has been active in escaping the neglect of the minimal possibilities of knowledge production. There are now many observational theoretical reflections that require annotations to evolve. The subject of this section is the writing of notes in the margins of theoretical reflections based on the observations described in the axes of this call.
