Representation of Women in Polish Novels: Persian Perspectives
Virtual Poster Somayeh Aghajani Kalkhoran
There are a few Polish novels translated to Persian. In order to understand Polish history and its events, it is important to know how literature, as an art, represents women. This research pays attention to how Polish novels translated to Persian introduce women. Two novels, “The Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman” And “Just Love” show women in several social roles such as a nurse helping injured soldiers physically, emotionally, and mentally to come back to life. Women who despite of horrible war injuries chose not just to stay with them but be proud of them; a Jewish widow knows she is in danger but tries to complete her husband's radiology researches to help people. Also they could be seen a prostitute that helps with food and a place for sleep to someone who has escaped from poverty; and a nun who devotes her life to help children. Although these two novels represent Polish women in these roles, they help Persian and Iranian society become familiar with Polish society. There are other translations on both side literature, not novel, but as these countries had a great war in their history, and now many Iranians and Polish people live in each others' countries, there should be more and more literary translation to study similarities, differences and interactions between two cultures and society through global perspectives.
Global Governance and Climate Change: The Politics and Good Governance of Climate Resilience Initiatives
Virtual Poster Haris Alibašić
Climate resilience initiatives around the world are instituted through various multinational instruments and an elaborate network of institutions at the sub-national and national levels of government. Some of these instruments and institutions are under consistent pressures and are susceptible to exploitation, further hindering the objectives and goals of climate change initiatives. The pledges by most governments to accomplish the Paris Climate agreement and the Kyoto protocol are hindered by inconsistency in approaches, potential corruption, and governmental interferences. This paper assesses the integrity of the international frameworks for supporting and implementing climate change initiatives and highlights opportunities for mitigating risks associated with the funding and implementation of climate resilience programs. Specifically, using a meta-synthesis review the paper investigates the appropriation, accountability, and transparency in climate resilience initiatives in vulnerable areas of the world and provides a robust framework for minimizing the misuse of climate change funding mechanisms in these countries. Also, practical recommendations for good governance practices on climate resilience implementation are suggested to ensure the coordination of the efforts between the public and private sector organizations, international agencies, and policymakers involved in the management of climate resilience aims to meet the goals set to reduce the global Greenhouse emissions, increase public engagement, and provide adequate return on investment in the climate resilience spectrum.
