Miceli** Abstract: Throughout history, religious and political authorities have had a mysterious attraction to each other. Rulers have established state religions and adopted laws with religious origins, sometimes even claiming to have divine powers. We propose a political economy approach to theocracy, centered on the legitimizing relationship between religious and political authorities. Making standard assumptions about the motivations of these authorities, we identify the factors favoring the emergence of theocracy, such as the organization of the religion market, monotheism vs. polytheism, and strength of the ruler. We use two sets of data to test the implications of the model. We first use a unique data set that includes information on over three hundred polities that have been observed throughout history. We also use recently available cross-country data on the relationship between religious and political authorities to examine these issues in current societies. The results provide strong empirical support for our arguments about why in some states religious and political authorities have maintained independence, while in others they have integrated into a single entity.

  • Chinggis Khan and His Conquest of Khorasan: Causes and Consequences
    CHINGGIS KHAN AND HIS CONQUEST OF KHORASAN: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES BY ANIBA ISRAT ARA ARSHAD ISLAM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA ABSTRACT This book explores the causes and consequences of Chinggis Khan’s invasion of Khorasan in the 13th century. It discusses Chinggis Khan’s charismatic leadership qualities that united all nomadic tribes and gave him the authority to become the supreme Mongol leader, which helped him to invade Khorasan. It also focuses on the rise of the Muslim cities in Khorasan where many Muslim scholars kept their intellectual brilliance and made Khorasan the cultural capital of the Muslims. This study apprises us of Chinggis Khan’s war tactics and administrative system which made his men extremely strong and advanced despite their culture remaining barbaric in nature. His progeny also followed a similar policy for a long time until all Muslim cities were fully destroyed. The work also focuses on the rise of many sectarian divisions among the Muslims which brought disunity that eventually led to their downfall. Thus, this study underscores the importance of revitalization of unity in the Muslim world so that Muslims may not become vulnerable to any foreign imperialistic power. Unity also is the key to preserve Muslim intellectual thought and Islamic cultural identities. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the beginning, I would like to say that all praise is to Allah (swt) Almighty; despite the difficulties, with His mercy, and the strength, patience and resilience that He has bestowed on me, I completed my work. I am heartily thankful to my beloved supervisor to Dr. Arshad Islam, whose encouragement, painstaking supervision and tireless motivating from the beginning of my long journey to the concluding level helped me to complete this study.

  • Firdawsi's Shahnama in Its Ghaznavid Context A.C.S. Peacock1 Abstract
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by St Andrews Research Repository Firdawsi’s Shahnama in its Ghaznavid context A.C.S. Peacock1 Abstract Firdawsi’s Shahnama, the completion of which is traditionally to around 400/1010, is generally thought to have been a failure at first. It is said by both traditional accounts and much modern scholarship to have been rejected by its dedicatee Sultan Mahmud of Ghazna, and its contents of ancient Iranian legends, transmitted from earlier sources, are widely considered to have been out of step with the literary tastes of the Ghaznavid period. This article reassesses the reception of the Shahnama in the Ghaznavid period, arguing that evidence suggests neither its style nor contents were outdated, and that its tales of ancient Iranian heores had a great contemporary relevance in the context of the Ghaznavid court’s identification of the dynasty as the heir to ancient Iran. The extent to which Firdawsi can be shown to have relied on pre-Islamic sources is also reevaluated Key words Firdawsi – Shahnama – Ghaznavids – pre-Islamic Iran – Persian poetry The reception history of few books can be as well-known as the Shahnama: the allegedly cool reaction of sultan Mahmud of Ghazna (d. 421/1030) when presented with the work around the year 400/1010, and the biting satire on the ruler Firdawsi is claimed to have penned in response, together form part of the Shahnama legend.2 Firdawsi’s hostile reception by the rival poets of Ghazna, for instance, became a topic of miniature painting in manuscripts of the poem,3 and lines such as the satire were interpolated to underline the point.4 Today, the poem’s initial flop is usually taken for granted, and has been attributed to both its form and its contents, which are assumed to be purely antiquarian,5 bereft of any contemporary relevance.

The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap: building on previous work by Nussbaum (1976) and Fellner (ms.), I investigate the Caland System in Tocharian and put forth an analysis of nine lexical items that I argue belonged to the Caland paradigm. I show that interpreting these Tocharian lexical items in this way offer new insight into the system on both a morphological and semantic level. The newly identified Tocharian Caland vocabulary includes six adjectives and three nouns: (i) TB l¯are ‘dear’; (ii) TB pr¯ake ‘firm, hard’; (iii) TB aikare, ‘empty’, TA ekro ‘poor’; (iv) TB ´sr¯ay (pl.) ‘old’; (v) TB m¯aka, TA m¯ak ‘many, much’; (vi) TB moko, TA mok ‘old, elder’; (vii) TB taupe ‘mine’; (viii) kare ‘worth, rank, dignity’; (ix) TB kr¯am¨ar ‘weight, heaviness’.

However, the evolution of technology mixed with open market frontiers has lead to a change in the communication systems, product circulation and movement of population for economic, social, political, ecological or leisure reasons. These trends have influenced behaviors of population and their exposure to other cultures, habits and consumer behaviors. In fact, consumer behavior theorists and marketing managers had to adapt to these important changes infusing a balance of “global consumer culture” and “ethnic identity” while experimenting resistance at the national, regional and local levels.

    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC August 2016 Special Edition IRANIAN ELITES’ CULTURAL HEGEMONY DURING THE SELJUK AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ART OF METALWORKING Mehran Golestan PhD student .University of Art. Tehran .Iran [email protected] S.Saeed S.A.Zavieh Associate Professor .University of Art .Tehran. Iran [email protected] Mohsen Rahmani MA Illustration .Shahed University. Tehran. Iran [email protected] ABSTRACT Iran has an ancient and influential history among the Middle East countries, so the review of Seljuk history in Iran may create new perspective into this era in terms of study nature. In addition,several researches have been published in the field of Seljuk's art history in Iran and Rome. In this paper, seeking for a fundamental goal, we aimed to consider a different approach to study the metal works remained from Seljuk era in Iran during 11th and 12th century AD by going through systematic literature review and library documents, in particular literature pertaining to the sociological concepts like Antonio Gramsci’s idea about, with the aim of achieving the impact of the presence of society's political and cultural eliteson the creation of these works. Finally, the most important result obtained by studying and observing the most outstanding metal works of Seljuk era is the cultural hegemony of elites. As it was expected in the magnificent era of Seljuk Kings, Iranshahr thought, which was inspired by Ancient Iran in the words of ministers and scholars invited to the court as cultural and political elites, directly affected the beliefs and behavior pattern of the society and subsequently the favor of artists and then overshadowed the creation of artistic works, and the present article is intended to explain it.
