Why the work is being published, and why the author’s rights must be protected

This website has been shaped through the effort of a group of colleagues and students of Amir Hossein Yavari. Its purpose is to introduce his intellectual, professional, artistic, and research path with greater care, and to create an orderly space for understanding works, experiences, and achievements formed across different fields.

At first, we thought that gathering and publishing records, activities, past works, and documents related to his path would be useful in itself. But when the idea of the site was shared with Mr. Yavari, he emphasized an important point: simply publishing past work is not enough if it does not lead to understanding, learning, reflection, or practical use for the reader.

From his point of view, if such a website is going to be built, it should not only be a place for showing the past. It should also become a living space for offering part of his thought, experience, method, and newer material. For that reason, he suggested that parts of books, notes, and research he is currently writing and completing should be published gradually on the site; material that he sees as fresher, more practical, and more useful for serious readers.

We accepted this view because we believe the value of this website is not only in introducing a person or recording a career. Its deeper value is in giving readers access to thoughts, methods, experiences, and analyses that may be useful and inspiring in fields such as literature, narrative, creativity, semiotics, brand, packaging, anti-counterfeiting, trust-building, and the design of authenticity solutions.

At the same time, publishing new material, especially material connected to books and projects still in progress, requires serious care. In past experiences, there have been cases of inaccurate quotation, removal of the author’s name, use without permission, incomplete extraction, appropriation of ideas, unethical republication, and use of his thought and experience without fairness or respect for moral rights. Without entering personal cases, and without accusing any individual, we consider these experiences enough reason to state the rules of use clearly, precisely, and firmly from the beginning.

The purpose of this firmness is not to close the door to learning, study, academic reference, or intellectual conversation. The purpose is that readers can use the material with confidence in the authenticity of the text, the clarity of the source, and the proper relationship between the work and its author. But that use must remain within a frame of respect for the name, thought, expression, structure, formulated ideas, methods, models, terms, and material and moral rights of Amir Hossein Yavari.

Publication of any work on this website does not mean transfer of ownership, permission to republish, permission to adapt, permission for commercial use, permission to produce similar content, or permission to use the work in projects, books, courses, media, systems, AI tools, or other products.

This site exists for understanding, study, and responsible engagement with the thought and work of Amir Hossein Yavari. It does not exist for free extraction, unauthorized reproduction, or exploitation of the material and ideas. Any use of the site’s content is subject to the rules below.
