Messiah Of Shiraz - Studies In Early And Middle Babism

de Dennis Maceoin

471,70€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The 19th century saw an enormous shift in the authority structure of Iranian and Iraqi Twelver Shi?ism, with the victory of a theological school (Usulism) that stressed the power of the clergy. This is well known. What is less well known is that there was a parallel development of authority in the Shaykhi school and its offshoot, the Babi sect. Here, especially in later forms of Babism, the Shi?ite claim to charismatic authority reached its limits in hyperbolic attestations of divinity. The present text is in two parts: a study of how Shaykhism bifurcated into a form close to orthodoxy next to the highly unorthodox Babi movement. Part two examines how Babism changed after the death in 1850 of its founder, the Bab.

Rumi And The Hermeneutics Of Eroticism

de Mahdi Tourage

215,98€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the first systematic examination of the esoteric significance of the bawdy tales and explicit sexual passages present in Rumi's (d. 1273) Mathnawi, a masterpiece of medieval Perso-Islamic mystical literature and theosophic teachings. Using the relevant features of postmodern theories as strategic conceptual tools, and drawing on the recent interpretations of medieval kabbalistic texts, it is a fascinating examination of the link between the dynamics of eroticism and esotericism operative in Rumi's Mathnawi. In some of these bawdy tales, the phallus is used as an esoteric symbol. The book concludes that these tales are used primarily to communicate esoteric secrets, particularly when this communication is contemplated along gender lines, mediated through erotic imagery, or expressed in sexual terms.

de Andras Barati

173,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Exercising Authority and Representing Rule, Andras Barati examines twenty-two hitherto unpublished Persian royal decrees issued by various rulers of eighteenth-century Iran and Afghanistan kept at the Astan-i Quds-i Razawi in Mashhad. Considering the paucity of primary sources from this period due to relatively frequent political turmoils, he aims to improve this situation by offering the transcription and translation of these original documents as well as a commentary concerning the textual elements, external aspects, and content of the decrees. Making use of previously published documents, Andras Barati presents the first substantial study on post-Safavid eighteenth-century diplomatics and addresses several issues related to the political, economic, and administrative history of the region in the early modern period.

Saints Hommes De Chiraz Et Du Fars - Pouvoir, Societe Et Lieux De Sacralite (Xe-Xve S.)

de Denise Aigle

226,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Saints hommes de Chiraz et du Fars. Pouvoir, societe et lieux de sacralite (Xe-XVe s.), Denise Aigle studies the spiritual role, but also the political one, played by the Sufi shaykhs. From the tenth century, Fars was a a land of holiness with Shaykh Kabir in Shiraz and Murshid al-Din Abu Ishaq in Kazarun. This research is based on hagiographic sources, historical chronicles, literary sources and archival documents. The author shows how the pre-Islamic history of Fars was integrated into spiritual Islam thanks to the mystical speculations of the Sufi shaykhs. The particular interest of this research is its contribution to the history of Laristan, a region that has long remained terra incognita. Thanks to handwritten hagiographic documents preserved in several private libraries, we discover the existence and the role of spiritual masters until now totally unknown.

Legendary Patterns In Late Antique Biography: The Parallel Lives Of Ardashir I And Constantine The Great

de Matthew O'Farrell

173,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A Memorial in the World offers a new appraisal of the reception and role of Constantine the Great and Ardashir I (the founder of the Sasanian Empire c.224-651), in their respective cultural spheres. Concentrating on marked parallels in the legendary material attached to both men it argues that the memories of both were reshaped by processes referencing the same deep literary heritage. What is more, as "founders" of imperial systems that identified with a particular religious community, the literature that developed around these late antique figures applied these ancient tropes in a startlingly parallel direction. This parallel offers a new angle on the Karnamag tradition, an originally Middle Persian biographical tradition of Ardashir I.

Illuminationist Texts And Textual Studies - Essays In Memory Of Hossein Ziai

213,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The late Professor Hossein Ziai's interests focused on the Illuminationist (Ishraqi) tradition. Dedicated to his memory, this volume deals with the post-Avicennan philosophical tradition in Iran, and in particular the Illuminationist school and later philosophers, such as those associated with the School of Isfahan, who were fundamentally influenced by it. The focus of various chapters is on translations, editions, and close expositions of rationalist works in areas such as epistemology, logic and metaphysics rather than mysticism more generally, and also on specific texts rather than themes or studies of individual philosophers. The purpose of the volume is to introduce new texts into the modern canon of Islamic and Iranian philosophy. Various texts in this volume have not been previously translated nor have they been the subject of significant Western scholarship.

 In Another Place: Identity, Space, and Transcultural Signification in Goli Taraqqi's Fiction, Goulia Ghardashkhani examines the narrative process of the struggle for identification in the short stories of one of the well-established figures of Iranian contemporary prose literature. Goli Taraqqi's narratives of displacement and emigration are approached through a theoretical lens that foregrounds the significance of space and the role of retrospective self-narration in acts of cultural representation.Ghardashkhani studies Taraqqi's autobiographical narratives with an emphasis on the unstable meanings of homeland and Farang (a culturally constructed term signifying the West) and, thereby, accounts for Taraqqi's ironical style of narration in her memories of homeland recollected in exile.

de Marie Huber

169,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Memories of an Impossible Future: Mehdi Akhavan Sales and the Poetics of Time Marie Huber traces the quest for a modern language of poetry through different figurations of temporality in the works of one of Iran's foremost poets. Akhavan is placed in dialogue with European thinkers and emerges as an original voice in world literature. Chapters examine aspects of rhythm and metaphor, messianism and historicity, and functions of time in Akhavan's lyric and epic poems. Through a range of close readings Huber seeks to understand Akhavan's texts as crystallisations of a historical moment, both rooted in the Persian tradition and pointing beyond it. Her analyses combine attention to philological detail with meditations on the philosophical significance of Akhavan's poetics.

Mongol Empire Between Myth And Reality - Studies In Anthropological History

de Denise Aigle

243,80€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Mongol Empire between Myth and Reality, Denise Aigle presents the Mongol empire as a moment of contact between political ideologies, religions, cultures and languages, and, in terms of reciprocal representations, between the Far East, the Muslim East, and the Latin West. The first part is devoted to "The memoria of the Mongols in historical and literary sources" in which she examines how the Mongol rulers were perceived by the peoples with whom they were in contact. In "Shamanism and Islam" she studies the perception of shamanism by Muslim authors and their attempts to integrate Genghis Khan and his successors into an Islamic framework. The last sections deal with geopolitical questions involving the Ilkhans, the Mamluks, and the Latin West. Genghis Khan's successors claimed the protection of "Eternal Heaven" to justify their conquests even after their Islamization.

Hospitals In Iran And India, 1500-1950s

231,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume looks at hospitals in the post-medieval Indo-Iranian world from various perspectives. During the Safavid-Mughal periods hospitals were still tied to Avicennian medicine. However, in Qajar Iran and British India hospitals became important instruments for the spread of modern Western medicine. The papers in this volume present a significant panorama on the history of medicine and medical institutions in Iran and India during the early modern and the modern periods. The portrait that emerges is not homogeneous, but instead shows ambivalent and contrasting images. Hospitals can be seen as powerful symbols of the Muslim scientific civilization and then of modern medicine, nevertheless, they remained institutions relegated to the fringes of society - regarded with suspicion and usually reserved for the poor.Contributors include: Cristiana Bastos, Willem Floor, Claudia Preckel, Omid Rezai, Fabrizio Speziale, Hasan Tadjbakhsh, Anna VanzanThis book is copublished with the Institut Francais de Recherche en Iran (IFRI) as no. 74 in the Bibliotheque Iranienne series.Le present ouvrage propose un panorama significatif d'etudes portant sur l'histoire et le role des hopitaux dans le monde irano-indien au cours de la premiere modernite et de l'epoque moderne. Les contributions rassemblees dans ce volume etudient l'hopital depuis plusieurs perspectives, examinant cet etablissement tantot comme une institution scientifique, tantot en fonction de son utilite sociale. Ce qui emerge de ces travaux ne constitue pas un portrait homogene, mais plutot une image ambivalente et contrastee de ces etablissements. Les hopitaux peuvent etre vus comme des symboles puissants de la piete des souverains musulmans, ou de la civilisation scientifique musulmane, puis du triomphe de la science occidentale moderne. Cependant, pour une tres longue periode, l'hopital demeure une institution releguee a la marge de la societe, regardee avec suspicion et en particulier reservee aux indigents.Ce livre est une coedition avec l'Institut Francais de Recherche en Iran (IFRI) comme n? 74 dans la serie Bibliotheque Iranienne

Theater State And The Formation Of Early Modern Public Sphere In Iran - Studies On Safavid Muharram Rituals, 1590-1641 Ce

de Babak Rahimi

303,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 During the Safavid period, the Shi'i Muharram commemorative rites which had been publically practiced since the 7th century, became a manifestation of state power. Already during the reign of Shah 'Abbas I (1587-1629) the Muharram rituals had transformed into an extraordinary rich repertoire of ceremonies and ceremonial spaces that can be defined as 'theater state'. Under Shah Safi I (1629-1642) these ceremonies ultimately led to carnivalesque celebrations of misrule and transgression.This first systematic study of a wide range of Persian and European archival and primary sources, analyzes how the Muharram rites changed from being an originally devotional practice to an ambiguous ritualization that in combination with other public arenas, such as the bazaar, coffeehouses or travel lodges, created distinct spaces of communication whereby the widening gap between state and society gave way to the formation of the early Iranian public sphere. Ultimately, the Muharram public spaces allowed for a shift in individual and collective identities, opening the way to multifaceted living fields of interaction, as well as being sites of contestation where innovative expressions of politics were made. In particular, the construction of the new Isfahan in 1590 is linked with the widespread proliferation of the Muharram mortuary rites by discussing rituals performed in major urban spaces.
