A Study of Transsexuality in Iran

Although transsexuality and change of sex might be considered a matter of personal choice, they have some socio-cultural causes and consequences. This article aims to examine these through the illustration of transsexuality in Iran. To this end, firstly, sexual transition and the legal system in Iran will be explained. Secondly, the methodology will follow. This study uses the survey method with two separate samples: 1) transsexuality policy makers and 2) forty individual cases of transsexuals. The findings reveal that while the Iranian legal system does not ban transsexuality and sexual transition, transsexuals suffering from gender identity disorder do encounter some social and cultural problems both in their private lives and publicly. The paper concludes with a summary of research findings, and sets out recommendations and study limitations.     

《艺市民俗学》评述

如果我们将人类所创造的文化比作一个大花园,那么在这大花园里万紫千红、如锦如霞的花朵中,最美丽的一朵大概就是人类的艺术了。在各种各样的辞典中,我们不难查到关于艺术的定义,但在这里,我们不愿意引用辞典中干巴巴的定义,因为那些定义实在是委屈了艺术这美丽的花朵。还是来看看《罗丹艺术论》中对艺术的解说吧：“艺术,就是所谓静观、默察;是深入自然,渗透自然,与之同化的心灵的愉快;

A Study in Pattern-Welding

DURING THE EXCAVATION of the circular fortress of Oost-Souburg, the Netherlands, objects of bone and antler and sawn horn-cores indicating the use of horn were found. The finds, mainly combs, needles, spindle whorls, tridents, bone skates and points of prickers, are dated between A.D. 900 and 975. The variability in form and ornamentation, the choice of the raw material and the use of this well dated material is described and discussed. The partially manufactured artefacts and waste products suggest that some of the objects were made or repaired within the settlement, possibly by peripatetic craftsmen. The objects of antler, and antler as a raw material must have been imported from elsewhere. In combination with the other animal remains, these objects provide information about the economy and activities of the inhabitants of the fortress.
