21st day: starting chapter 4
I finished
chapter 3 and started the next chapter. It is strange. Turning my dissertation
to a book is full of surprises to me. For instance I realized that how much
nonsense I have written in the thesis! Too long, too details, too blah blah! Is
that just me or anybody else has the same experience! I mean why I used so many
facts and info for simple points. This chapter, 4, is on actors of
intercultural dialogue in Iran and Germany and specific discourses.
I have specifically worked on “interfaith dialogue” and “dialogue among civilizations” in Iranian side. In Germany the discourse of “European-Islamic cultural dialogue” has been prominent. The chapter besides presenting details on these discourses discusses the actors. For instance DAAD has been one of the German actors. In foreign cultural policy of Germany academic exchanges have attracted a high attention of elites and policy makers. And it has a loooooooooooong history. It goes back to even time before the Weimar Republic in 1920.

Today I worked
specifically on interfaith dialogue which has been a main discourse for Iranian
foreign cultural policy since early-post Revolution era. Even though foreign
cultural policy with a classic form is not characterized in the Iranian foreign
policy.
I have sent
off the book review, which I worked on it last week, today morning. I ll share
it here the link when it is published.
