  • Banal Nationalism in Iran: Daily Re-Production of National and Religious Identity
    Elhan / Banal Nationalism in Iran: Daily Re-Production of National and Religious Identity Banal Nationalism in Iran: Daily Re-Production of National and Religious Identity Nail Elhan* Öz: 1979 yılında yaşanan İran İslam Devrimi sonrasında İslamcı politikalar kurulan yeni rejimin hem iç hem de dış politikalarının temelini oluşturmuştur. Ancak milliyetçilik de göz ardı edilmemiş ve daha da ileri gidilerek Şii İslam ve İslam öncesi Pers kültürünün harmanlanması ile bir İranlılık kimliği yaratılmıştır. Bu kimlik devlet tarafından, Şii mitolojisi, İslam öncesi Pers kültürü, anti-emperyalizm, Üçüncü Dünyacılık ve anti-Siyonizm gibi ögelerle harmanlanmış ve çok etnikli İran toplumuna ortak bir aidiyet olarak sunulmuştur. Bu aidiyet olgusunun hem İran içinde hem de İran dışında cereyan eden olaylar üzerine inşa edildiği iddia edilebilir. Bunu yaparken, İran Devleti basılması kendi tekelinde olan banknotları, madeni paraları ve posta pullarını gündelik milliyeçiliğin aracı olarak kullanmış ve bu ‘banal’ yollar ile İranlılık duygusunun her gün yeniden üretilmesine katkı yapmıştır. Böylelikle, banknotlar, madeni paralar ve posta pulları gibi görsel semboller aracılığı ile devlet, kendi oluştur- duğu kimliği yine kendi içerisinde bulunan alt-ulusal kimliklerin bu resmi kimliğe saldırılarına karşı bir savunma aracı olarak banal milliyetçilik vasıtası ile kullanmış olmaktadır. Anahtar kelimeler: İran Devrimi, Banal Milliyetçilik, Şiilik, Fars Kimliği, Milli Kimlik. Abstract: After its 1979 revolution, Islamism became Iran’s main policy as regards its domestic and foreign affairs. However, nationalism continued to exist. After the revolution, the national identity of Iranianness based on Shii Islam and pre-Islamic Persian history was created. By merging Shii traditions, pre-Islamic Persian culture, anti-imperialism, Third Worldism, and anti-Zionism, this new identity was introduced as one of belonging.

During the Safavid period, the arts, paintings, lines, gilding, carpet weaving, cloth, tiling, etc. reached the peak of their evolution, which is seen less in the past and subsequent times.

  • Rethinking the Quality of the Connection Between School and City According to a Sociability Analysis of Schools of the Timurid, Safavid and Ghajar Eras in Iran
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art (IHA 2016) www.witconferences.com Rethinking the quality of the connection between school and city according to a sociability analysis of schools of the Timurid, Safavid and Ghajar eras in Iran H. Motedayen1, M. Ahangari2 & K. Chenari3 1Fine Arts Faculty, University of Tehran, Iran 2University of Tehran, Iran 3IT Department of Shahrvand Chain Store, Iran Abstract The following paper is a result of a field and librarian study in recognition of the connection between school and city in Iranian Islamic architecture and tries to find the different forms of these connections by analyzing the physical characteristics of the space of schools and finding their source. Thus, more than twelve structures from reputed eras of Timurid, Safavi and Ghajar were chosen. Then by studying the situation of the country in the specific era, the presence or absence and the location of a collective space for students and people in schools were studied. In this paper, which is applied and developmental, comparisons show that in the schools of those eras of Iran there was a view of connecting to city and the foundation of this connection was considered. Thus, dissimilar incorporation of social space with a school shows that there is no uniform approach to all engagements. It seems that the basis of such difference should be discovered in the difference between the policies of each government. Accommodation of analysis shows three general interpretations from the meaning of connection. It is best to arrange and analyze different connection qualities to clearly understand these interpretations.

The Council hopes to build on this over the coming year. In pursuit of the Society’s charitable objects, we are attempting to reach a wider audience than the Society’s present membership. In particular, we are planning a public lecture in memory of Sir Denis Wright, our former president and chairman, who contributed so much to the Society. David Blow, a Council member, is editing a compendium of travellers’ tales on Iran over the ages, which is due to be published by Eland Books next year, and we will continue to arrange tutored visits to UK exhibitions and events connected with Iran. Meanwhile, our Journal continues to go from strength to strength, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the editor, Antony Wynn, and to Alan Ashmole, who arranges the printing. I am retiring as chairman in October. This is in many ways a sad moment for me, but I am delighted that Hugh Arbuthnott has been elected to succeed me as chairman. As a Persian speaker, who was twice posted to the British Embassy in Tehran and was British Ambassador in three countries, he brings a depth of experience and wisdom which will, I am sure, be of great benefit to the Society.

  • The Geometry of Paradise Flowers
    Bridges 2011: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture The Geometry of Paradise Flowers Sarah Abdellahi Isfahan Mathematics House (IMH) E-mail: [email protected] Tom Goris Freudenthal Institute for Science and Mathematics Education, Utrecht University Princetonplein 5, 3584 CC Utrecht, The Netherlands Zayandeh Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Abstract When thinking about Islamic mosaics, it might seem that only mosaics that have geometrical patterns involve mathematics, however, there is an interesting amount of mathematics in floral designs too: each flower individually and all of the various connections between the flowers are based on circular patterns. In this workshop the participants will learn about these constructions step by step. Next, they will design a flower themselves, based on the fixed base shapes of the mosaics but leaving enough degrees of freedom to be creative. The newly designed flowers will be attached to a prefabricated framework to make a wonderful collaborative design. Introduction Walking through an Islamic city like Isfahan is the easiest way to get overwhelmed by the beauty of Islamic patterns and tilings: hundreds of square meters of walls covered with tiles and mosaics! For that reason, the workshop starts with a virtual visit to the Shah Mosque in Isfahan to look at the blue and yellow tilings with floral patterns designed in order to make the mosque look like paradise. Later, traveling from Isfahan to almost all other cities in Iran, it appears that these patterns are almost the same everywhere. There are lots of similarities in geometrical patterns, or even in body, tree or bird drawing, which is remarkable: the floral designs are abstractions from real flowers, and usually abstractions vary widely.

  • European Artists in Iran During the Qâjâr Period
    Mahshid Modares The familiarity of Iranians with European schools of art begins with the political European Artists relationship with Europe in the seventeenth century, and increases in the nineteenth century. in Iran During the In Europe, industrial, social, and cultural changes reformed many political systems in the Qâjâr Period nineteenth century and ended many monarchial, feudal, and hierarchical systems that had existed for centuries. In the transition from monarchy to democracy, according to Stephen Eisenman, in his book Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History, the bourgeois controlled some parts of Europe for about a century. On the one hand, the working class, farmers, and women followed revolutionary ideas of enlightened individuals in gaining their freedom and equality.1 On the other hand, industrialized nations invaded weak countries in Africa, South America, and the Middle East, maintaining economical and military supremacy during the colonial period of the nineteenth century. Britain, for instance, asserted control over oil and other resources in Iran to assure its routes to India. Countries such as Iran suffered constant interference by Europeans trying to enforce their ascendancy in the name of modernization, two-way friendship, and trade. Having political and economic clout, England, Germany, France, and the United States chased valuable resources and lands. As a part of the plan, European ambassadors, government missions, military men, traders, archeologists, and artists, all of whom traveled to different regions, took back to Europe information on future investments, as well as a large number of ancient and contemporary art pieces and During the Qâjâr epoch Iranian artists exhibited a great treasures, which made many museums and interest in European paintings of the Renaissance and private collections enormously wealthy.
