Omid Tofighian

    Dr. Omid Tofighian je přednášející, výzkumník a komunitní aktivista, jehož práce propojuje filozofii s rétorikou, náboženstvím a populární kulturou. Jeho zájem o nadnárodnost, vykořenění a diskriminaci formuje jeho angažovanost v komunitních uměleckých a kulturních projektech, zejména s uprchlíky a mladými lidmi. Tofighianovy publikace se hluboce zabývají intersekcí filozofie a společnosti. Prostřednictvím své překladatelské činnosti také zpřístupňuje díla dalších autorů širšímu publiku.

      In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country's most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi, they form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.
