  • Art, a symbol of pandemic sympathy: Sameti

    In times of global crises such as pandemics, when usually all the focuses are on pandemic fears, art can work as a symbol of pandemic sympathy. Whereas it seems that art is not the priority in these times, in comparison with science, artistic productions are as essential as scientific discoveries.

Badrozaman Gharib (23 August 1929 – 28 July 2020 Badrozaman Gharib (23 August 1929 – 28 July 2020) In 1929, the same solar year that the last king of Qajar Ahmad Shah died, Badrozaman Gharib was born to a renowned family of Garakani origin in Tehran. She graduated with distinction in Persian Literature from the University of Tehran in 1957 and was therefore granted a scholarship to study Linguistics and Phonology in the U.S. Under the supervision of Walter Bruno Henning, she wrote her doctoral dissertation on the Sogdian Language – an extinct language of ancient Sogdia, and became one of the rare living people who could read and speak it. Ever since her return to Iran, Badrozaman had been teaching in different universities and was the only woman who was granted permanent membership to The Academy of Persian Language and Literature. She was also a notable member of Iranian Science and Culture Hall of Fame. Among the most notable works of the nonagenarian scholar are the Persian-English Dictionary of Sogdian Language, and Sogdian Studies, A Collection of Articles. Badrozaman was also a devotee of Mohammad Mosaddegh. This fascination led her to compose an ode to Mosaddegh, to which he responded by sending her a hand-signed photograph of himself. Last week, she died of respiratory infection caused by coronavirus at age 91. Photo: #mehrdad_oskouei #Badrozaman_gharib #iranian #scholar #linguist #covid19 #obituary #بدرالزمان_قریب
