We at Cafe Cinema are happy to announce that "Cinéma Québécois, 4 of the best movies of all time 4 you" is our New program! The history of cinema in Quebec started on June 27, 1896 when the French Louis Minier inaugurated the first movie projection in North America in a Montreal theatre room.

آیین باستانی نوروز با پیشینه ای سه هزار ساله را می توان یکی از ماندگارترین آیین های جاری در میان تمدن ها و نژادهای بشری دانست. آیین نوروز از یک سو آنچنان ساده و دلنشین است که به آسانی راه خود را در میان مردمان در گذرگاه تاریخ گشوده است، و از سویی دیگر دارای ریشه، پیوند و بنیان پیچیده ای می باشد که شناخت آن بدون بررسی اندیشه، فرهنگ، بینش و تاریخ گذشتگان ما به دست نمی آید. چکیده سخن آن که نوروز با فلسفه آفرینش در کیش های ایرانی، اختر شناسی، گردش زمین، روند طبیعت، ساختار گاه شماری، و فرهنگ و تاریخ ایران زمین دارای پیوند می باشد، و از دیگر سوی چون نگینی تابناک روشنی بخش... more >>

Phenomenological interpretation of Kasravi is the philosophical investigation that uses historical reflections instead of historiographical consideration to elaborate truth in Kasravi. My starting point of this task is the factual existence of our own being (Dasein) and not making Kasravi an object of research for a transcendental ego. Next I will show him as a possible sight of "Jayegaheh" truth of being in the history of Iran (Asha). Appearing of "Asha" in Kasravi will be discussed as a philosophical concept not as a theological one. Then I will challenge Homayoun Katouzian of Oxford University, Farzin Vahdat of Harvard University and Mohammad Ali Tavakoli from Illinois University for their historiographical considerations about Kasravi. In conclusion I will show their misguided approach... more >>

CaféLitt is not a place; it is a gathering of minds. We are a group of mostly Persian young students, scholars and professionals who gather every Thursday evening around 19h00 in a café to discuss various subjects and share different ideas, ranging vastly from history to science, from literature to fine arts. We started these gatherings on Jan 18th, 2007. Each week, one of us takes the responsibility of presenting a topic (in Persian, English or French) for about an hour in a subject s/he is intimately familiar with or has an expertise in. Afterwards, the evening turns into a discussion forum and all members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask their question(s) and share their points of view.
CaféLitt is open to all comments, suggestion, collaboration and new ideas. CaféLitt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning about culture, science and philosophy in a relaxed and friendly environment, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with like-minded members of your community.
CaféLitt is officially registered as a non-profitable group and is a nonpartisan, nonreligious and nonpolitical entity.
