  • Classical Persian Literature Bahman Solati (Ph.D), 2015 University of California, Berkeley [email protected]
    Classical Persian Literature Bahman Solati (Ph.D), 2015 University of California, Berkeley [email protected] Introduction Studying the roots of a particular literary history enables us to better understand the allusions the literature transmits and why we appreciate them. It also allows us to foresee how the literature may progress.1 I will try to keep this attitude in the reader’s mind in offering this brief summary of medieval Persian literature, a formidable task considering the variety and wealth of the texts and documentation on the subject.2 In this study we will pay special attention to the development of the Persian literature over the last millennia, focusing in particular on the initial development and background of various literary genres in Persian. Although the concept of literary genres is rather subjective and unstable,3 reviewing them is nonetheless a useful approach for a synopsis, facilitating greater understanding, deeper argumentation, and further speculation than would a simple listing of dates, titles, and basic biographical facts of the giants of Persian literature. Also key to literary examination is diachronicity, or the outlining of literary development through successive generations and periods. Thriving Persian literature, undoubtedly shaped by historic events, lends itself to this approach: one can observe vast differences between the Persian literature of the tenth century and that of the eleventh or the twelfth, and so on.4 The fourteenth century stands as a bridge between the previous and the later periods, the Mongol and Timurid, followed by the Ṣafavids in Persia and the Mughals in India. Given the importance of local courts and their support of poets and writers, it is quite understandable that literature would be significantly influenced by schools of thought in different provinces of the Persian world.5 In this essay, I use the word literature to refer to the written word adeptly and artistically created.

  • Turkish Language in Iran (From the Ghaznavid Empire to the End of the Safavid Dynasty)
    42 Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Turkish Language in Iran (from the Ghaznavid Empire to the end of the Safavid Dynasty) Zivar Huseynova Khazar University The history of Turks in Iran goes back to very ancient times, and there are differences of opinion among historians about the Turks‟ ruling of Iranian lands. However, all historians accept the rulers of the Turkish territories since the Ghaznavid Empire. In that era, Turks took over the rule of Iran and took the first steps toward broadening the empire. The Ghaznavi Turks, continuing to rule according to the local government system in Iran, expanded their territories as far as India. The warmongering Turks, making up the majority of the army, spread their own language among the army and even in the regions they occupied. Even if they did not make a strong influence in many cultural spheres, they did propagate their languages in comparison to Persian. Thus, we come across many Turkish words in Persian written texts of that period. This can be seen using the example of the word “amirakhurbashi” or “mirakhurbashı” which is composed of Arabic elements.1 The first word inside this compound word is the Arabic “amir” (command), but the second and third words composing it are Turkish. Amirakhurbashi was the name of a high government officer rank. Aside from this example, the Turkish words “çomaq”(“chomak”) and “qalachur”(“kalachur”) or “qarachur” (“karachur”) are used as names for military ammunition. 2 It is likely that the word karachur, which means a long and curved weapon, was taken from the word qılınc (“kilinj,” sword) and is even noted as a Turkish word in many dictionaries.

  • A Review of Taboo in Iranian Literature
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 2(8)7949-7955, 2012 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2012, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com A Review of Taboo in Iranian literature Dr. VajihehTeimoori Department of Persian Language and Literature, Faculty of Persian Literature and Foreign Languages, University of AllamehTabatabai, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT Taboo as a social and cultural production has different aspects which in one hand shows unconscious fears and panics and at the other hand reveals the hidden natures of the people of a society. One of the fields for taboos recognition and investigating the taboos is the story texts. Fiction or story is based on different factors such as individual experiences, personal conceptions and social realities and taboos of one society are originated from these factors and have effects on them too. In this article, taboos are reviewed as a part of basic constituents of a social and cultural identity in relation with womanly independent identity and these taboos are introduced and considered from women writers ‘point of views and among their stories. In this respect, it is tried to develop the theoretical concepts of taboo among the whole of Iran’s society and the hidden and prominent features and parameters of Iranian woman’s identity in the modern age are more surveyed and recognized now. KEY WORDS: Taboo, Gendered taboos, Story-cultural potential, Self-censorship, Feminine identity INTRODUCTION “Taboos” are the unconscious social prohibitions and fears that are developed from a mythological long time ago to the present time and exist in the human societies rationally and it’s not possible to find a nation and culture that has no sign of their last and present taboos or the people of that society don’t start to taboo-breaking.

    IJSL 2016; 237: 59–74 Habib Borjian* and Daniel Kaufman Juhuri: From the Caucasus to New York City DOI 10.1515/ijsl-2015-0035 Abstract: Juhuri is a dialect of the Tat language of the eastern Caucasus (speci- fically, Dagestan and Azerbaijan). Although Juhuri is dialectologically related to Persian, it is not mutually intelligible with any Persian dialect. The Juhuri speakers, called Mountain Jews, are estimated at around 200,000, most of whom have immigrated to Israel and the United States. The New York commu- nity is largely centered in Brooklyn around the Kavkazi Jewish Congregation. The language is still spoken by those born in the Caucasus, and is maintained in some families and some spheres of daily life. Many of these Mountain Jews are multilingual in Juhuri, Russian, Azerbaijani, Hebrew, and English. In this article, we situate the language within the context of the New York expatriate commu- nity and explore the role of Juhuri in relation to ethno-religious identity, lan- guage attitude, and functional domains. The data reported on here are based on interviews and a written survey. We conclude that although the odds are heavily stacked against the survival of Juhuri, there may be a critical mass of language activists who can turn the tide. The fate of the language in the twenty-first century will likely be decided in the next two decades. Keywords: Tat language, Iranian languages, heritage language, endangered language, multilingualism 1 Introduction Studies of multilingualism in New York overwhelmingly focus on communities speaking major world languages such as Russian, Spanish, German, Italian, among others (e.g.

  • The Appearance of a Transnational Iranian Publishing Industry?
    The Circulation of Iranian Texts around the World: The Appearance of a Transnational Iranian Publishing Industry? Laetitia Nanquette HEN ONE THINKS OF TRANSNATIONAL LITERATURE, IMAGES OF BIG GLOBAL publishers and global authors in the English language come to mind. W However, in the age of publishing conglomerates and electronic commerce does all literature circulate without frontiers? What does the study of non-Western literatures tell us about the transnational circulation of books? What about the particular case of countries such as China or Iran where there is heavy censorship as well as strong external and internal constraints to the circulation of cultural products? In this paper, I study what happens to the transnational circulation of products that do not originate from the major centres of cultural production, and consider how transnational links work on a minor scale on the margins of, although not outside, the traditional circuits. I also analyse what transnational theories can help us uncover about Iranian literary production. Although it is a dynamic field composed of texts in Persian and in the other languages used by writers of Iranian origin in the diaspora, I focus here on literary texts originating from the Iranian nation and in the Persian language. An understanding of transnationalism as ‘sustained linkages and ongoing exchanges among non-state actors based across national borders—businesses, non-government-organisations, and individuals sharing the same interests (by way of criteria such as religious beliefs, common cultural and geographic origins)’ © Australian Humanities Review 62 (November 2017). ISSN: 1325 8338 158 Laetitia Nanquette / The Circulation of Iranian Texts Around the World (Vertovec) is particularly helpful with respect to the Iranian literary case.
