Through seven key case studies from Khan's oeuvre, this book demonstrates how Akram Khan's 'new interculturalism' is a challenge to the 1980s western 'intercultural theatre' project, as a more nuanced and embodied approach to representing Othernesses, from his own position of the Other.

One night, Akram Khan walks out of his house towards an appointed time and place where he is supposed to detonate a bomb that will end his life and that of many innocent bystanders. As he wanders through the town he encounters Grace, whose life has been marred just as his has, forming an unlikely closeness borne of need and necessity.Akram tells Grace about his seemingly inexorable journey towards radicalization: a childhood within the tight-knit Pakistani community, his complex friendships among outcasts, his disastrous years in the army, and his empty arranged marriage to a woman who remains a stranger. Delicately drawn, Akram's War is an honest and shocking kaleidoscopic portrait of contemporary Britain, and of the ways in which the twists and turns of fate can scar and mark a life.
Founded 20 years ago in London by the dancer and choreographer Akram Khan (born 1974) and the producer Farooq Chaudhry, Akram Khan Company has become one of the most dynamic troupes on the international contemporary dance scene. Trained in Kathak, Khan has created an innovative choreographic language that fuses the vocabulary of traditional Indian dance with contemporary dance. His performances also feature collaborators from a vast array of disciplines: he has collaborated with the dancer Sylvie Guillem, the actress Juliette Binoche, the artists Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor, the choreographer and dancer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Israel Galvan and Kylie Minogue, among others. This beautifully illustrated book is the first monograph on Khan, appraising two decades of his ceaseless production and the 26 pieces created by Akram Khan Company since its foundation.
This exhibition catalogue has been published with an essay by Mark Westmoreland about Akram Zaatari's artistic practice and his relationship with the AIF, a conversation between Chad Elias and Akram Zaatari, and a selection of annotated and illustrated collection entries from the archive by Ian B.

I en tid då Afghanistans öde än en gång prövas hårt politiskt, samhälleligt och kulturellt, inledde vi vårt kulturella och litterära arbete med den andra festivalen för Akram Osmans litteraturpris. En festival som planeras att hållas årligen på Akram Osmans födelsedag för att hedra denne välkände författare och skildrare av Kabuls gamla gator och gränder. I år är syftet med detta engagemang, dels att presentera välkända och nya ansikten inom den afghanska novellkonsten, dels att öka insikten om denna, och med hjälp av kraften i skönlitteraturen, samt med gemensamma kulturella och litterära gärningar, bygga broar mellan människor i Afghanistan och i andra nationer. Än en gång har vi i Farda kulturklubben fortsatt med våra oförtrutna ansträngningar för att utveckla och ha en positiv inverkan på de två språken persiska och pashto. Detta genom att översätta skönlitterära verk, såväl som att uppmuntra författare och därmed bidra till en bättre grogrund för utvecklingen av landets berättarkonst. Vårt hårda arbete har fortsatt trots de sorgliga förhållanden 6 Förord som råder i Afghanistan, där djup rädsla, förtvivlan och misstro nu har kastat sin skugga över samhällets själ och väsen, och där vår stolta nation, i och med talibanernas återkomst till makten, än en gång ser sina människovärden trampas på. Alla dessa våra ansträngningar har genomförts i övertygelsen av det som Marcus Garvey sa: ”Ett folk utan kunskap om sin tidigare historia, ursprung och kultur är som ett träd utan rötter”.
I år, liksom föregående år och året innan det, tände vi åter en eld och hundratals fackelbärare, från när och fjärran, kom samman med sina brinnande facklor runt vår skördebrasa. Vi anordnade en tillställning för att hylla berättarkonsten, ett arrangemang som kommer att gå av stapeln varje år framöver till minne av Akram Osman. Det är ett stort nöje att nu tillkännage att Akram Osmans tredje litteraturfestival har ägt rum.
Efter bortgången av den kände afghanske författaren fil.dr Akram Osman år 2016 beslutade Farda kulturklubb att hedra hans litterära gärning och värdefulla verk genom att årligen hålla litteraturfestivalen Akram Osmans litteraturpris. Att arrangera en sådan tillställning kräver omfattande förberedelser och finansiering vilket gjort att kulturklubben fått skjuta på genomförandet. År 2020 försenade covid-19-pandemin förverkligandet av dessa planer ytterligare. Trots detta så fattades beslutet att genomföra litteraturfestivalen den 2 maj 2021, som sammanfaller med Akram Osmans födelsedag. Huvudmålen för 2021 års festival består i att: • presentera framstående och nya röster inom afghanskt författarskap • öka förståelsen och skapa kulturella broar mellan folk i Afghanistan och andra nationer genom att använda kraften i skönlitteratur och gemensamma litteratur- och kulturprojekt • försöka utveckla och gynna persiska och pashto genom att översätta skönlitterära verk på dessa språk • uppmuntra och skapa bättre förutsättningar för Afghanistans författare
Etiquette has a great place in Islam. Half of Islam consists of civility and politeness. One of the ways to know and recognize a person's personality is to know about the people trained by that person. Positive outcomes emerge when the Prophet Muhammad's character, magnificence, and dignity are assessed from this perspective. The different aspects of the life history of Prophet Muhammad (Prophet's Seerah) is included in this book.
यह उपन्यास इतिहास नही है पर इतिहास के कई प्रश्नों का उत्तर तलाश करने की कोशिश इस पुस्तक द्वारा की गयी है। सिंध के इतिहास से प्रारम्भ होकर मुगलों के पतन तक की कथा के बहाने 'असभ्यता का आक्रमण' के एक बिलकुल नये रूप जिसका प्रवर्तक शाह वलीउल्ला देहलवी था उसकी ओर भी यह उपन्यास संकेत करता है। इतिहास के अनखुले पृष्ठ खोलने के लिए अपरिमित साहस और श्रम की आवश्यकता होती, मैं दावे के साथ कह सकती हूँ कि ऐसे साहस और श्रम की लेखक अरविंद पथिक में रंच मात्र भी कमी नहीं है। सिर्फ हिंदी साहित्य अपितु प्राचीन और मध्यकालीन इतिहास की कड़ियों को तलाशने के लिए उत्सुक शोधार्थियों के लिए भी यह उपन्यास सन्दर्भ के नए सूत्र खोलेगा।
