🔴 war of cultures; Iran is a major player in the world.
🔸 Dr. Fazeh Khataminia, during the academic conference "Alexander, Valerian, Rubio: The Fate of the Dream to Rule Iran", referring to the recent remarks of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Athens at the Acropolis, stated: If we listen carefully to this speech, we can clearly see that there is a kind of teleological mythology at play. The reason is that the West, since the days of ancient Greece, has repeatedly used this approach in shaping its identity, its self-construction and the construction of the "Eastern Other".
🔸This structure is known as "tragedy" in dramatic literature; However, the approach Mr. Rubio chose in his speech is the use of “melodrama. Hataminia further explained: the difference between a tragedy and a melodrama is that in a tragedy, the role of the chorus and the connection of the company to the performance is of great significance; while in the melodramas chosen by Mr. Rubio, the goal is to depict material realities that the West has always used as a tool of control to strengthen its capitalist system.
🔸In the classical theater, the chorus is tasked with linking the collective memory of society to moral truths by articulating historical realities. However, Mr. Rubio, who adopts a monologue approach, takes on the role of the chorus. In classical tragedies, the chorus calls upon the collective spirit to embrace morality; But in this speech, the audience - made up mostly of media representatives and diplomats rather than ordinary Greeks - is encouraged to take further steps.
