Eighth and ninth day: Chapter three- how does the political system form the foreign cultural policy?



Working on chapter three needs a lot of adjustments. I worked on different segments and re-named them. Some subchapters are divided into even more subs. I think now it makes more sense. I move the subchapters regarding the discourses of European-Islamic cultural dialogue, interfaith dialogue and dialogue among civilizations, from chapter 3 to 4. Because chapter 4 goes to specific actors of intercultural dialogue. So it should holds explanations and analysis on the discourses, as well. Chapter 3 concentrates of the structure of foreign cultural policy of Iran and Germany and their main actors. 

I worked on two applications till now. I have to finish the book, which I am going to review it. An extra 40 pages and then it is done. I have to also work on the book. It is 15:22 pm in German time. And the library (of Duisburg-Essen university), fourth floor, is full of students, who are learning their exam materials. Whole the place is full of stress. You can get the sense even by looking at the faces.
A Chinese student sits on my left side and on my right side a Pakistani friend. The weather is hot but the library has a cooling system. It is pleasure to sit and learn or work or whatever…write the weblog.

The book "Does Intercultural Dialogue matter?" is on his way

The book is finally published. I talked to the publisher yesterday. He told me that is sent to me on Monday (20.5). it can arrive any minute today. I cant wait seeing "Does Intercultural Dialogue Matter?".  It has been almost one year not writing here. I concentrated on finishing it and writing it up. A very good friend of mine, who is a nobel and strict English editor, helped me a lot. I sent the book at the beginning of March 2019 to the LIT publishing center. It took yes tooooooooooooooo long. Because somebody in charge of designing the book, in LIT, was ill and then unfortunately a bit disordered and improper to make her job done. But lets not complain. Not anymore. The book is on his way.

The First Step- the "Does Intercultural Dialogue matter" is borning

This is a start to write a short version book of my PhD dissertation.  I am going to use this weblog as a platform for informing my friends and my future book marketing launch team about the progress of the work and recieve their ideas. I started my PhD in 2012 in Duisburg-Essen University, in Germany. However for some personal reasons I changed my supervisor in 2013. He is a professor in Augsburg university, in city of Augsburg, which is located in south of Germany. I finished my PhD in early 2018. Yes, it took me at least six years. My dissertation is about intercultural dialogue between Western and Muslim countries. My case study is Iran and Germany. I have analyzed the cultural activities between the two countries; those which were implemented between 1998 and 2013. More specifically I worked on activities which were implemented under the discourse of intercultural dialogue in Iran and Germany. so every type of cultural activities is not included in my cases study.
