  • Why Was the Story of Arash-I Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63
    Saghi Gazerani, “Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63. Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?* Saghi Gazerani Independent Scholar In contemporary Iranian culture, the legendary figure of Arash-i Kamangir, or Arash the Archer, is known and celebrated as the national hero par excellence. After all, he is willing to lay down his life by infusing his arrow with his life force in order to restore territories usurped by Iran’s enemy. As the legend goes, he does so in order to have the arrow move to the farthest point possible for the stretch of land over which the arrow flies shall be included in Iranshahr proper. The story without a doubt was popular for many centuries, but during the various upheavals of the twentieth century, the story of Arash the Archer was invoked, and in the hands of artists with various political leanings his figure was imbued with layers reflecting the respective artist’s ideological presuppositions.1 The most famous of modern renditions of Arash’s legend is Siavash Kasra’i’s narrative poem named after its protagonist. An excerpt of Kasra’i’s rendition of Arash’s story *For further discussion of this issue please see my ture,” www.iranicaonline.org (accessed March 3, forthcoming work, On the Margins of Historiog- 2014).

  • A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Tirgan Or "Tirmā
    A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Teergan or "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu" Celebration in the Province of Mazandaran in Iran Dr. Morteza Mohseni* Dr. Mahmoud Azizi** Maryam Valizadeh*** Abstract: There are many festivals, rituals and celebrations in the ancient Persian calendar; amongst them, to name only a few are Nowrooz, Mehregan, Sa' adeh, Abangan, etc. These festivals and rituals mostly originated from religious rites and practices, each emanating from a particular myth. As a matter of fact, these rites constitute the practical perspectives of people’s mythological beliefs and convictions. The reason why some of these ancient myths are still working is that they are still functioning in the daily lives of people. It seems that with the decline of their sacredness and popularity they start to disappear from the lives of the people. The "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu", the night of the 13th of Teer in the Persian solar calendar, festival is taken to be a remnant of the ancient Persian ritual festival of Teergan. This festival is still celebrated in certain regions of Iran, especially in the north of the country. Amongst different reasons that gave a relatively permanent life to this festival in the north of the country are the special geographical as well as environmental influences. To this we should also add the religious and mythological beliefs of the people of the region. The authors will attempt to redefine some of the major reasons that gave a lasting life to these beliefs and myths. Keywords: myth, Tirmā Sizzệ Šu, festival, calendar, Mazandaran,

  • AN ANALYSIS on FOLKLORE in IRAN Dr
    3rd International Conference on Theory & Practice (ICTP, 2017), Adelaide, Australia ISBN: 978-0-9953980-5-4 www.apiar.org.au AN ANALYSIS ON FOLKLORE IN IRAN Dr. Latifeh Salamatbavil Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Email: [email protected] Abstract Culture is basically one of the expanded and more complicated issues in human life raised from the interaction between human, nature and the evolution of social concept. Folklore is considered one of the building blocks of culture including: traditions, customs, ethics, celebrations, habits, literature, arts, etc. The folklore of every society indicates the thoughts, ideals, cultural values and moral principles all around the world. Moreover, it is directed into a better recognition of different nations. From the beginning of the 19th century, the scientific studies of folklore scientifically started which examined the beliefs, verbal literature and the behaviours of people considered so as to identify social realities. The current essay is based on a descriptive-analytical method presenting some of the folkloric elements. It is concluded that getting acquainted with the folklore of different societies is led into recognizing their social facts. Holistically, attempting to comprehend the folkloric concepts of certain societies can make nations get closer to one another. Keywords: Folklore, Culture, Sociology, Ethics, Celebration 1. Introduction Folklore is embedded in the life and cultures and nations. It is also reflected in various patterns. Significant aspects of human life are consciously and unconsciously joined by folklore. Folklore has been rooted in nations with rich historical background. Furthermore, folklore has been emerged by social customs and traditions, the interpretations of ancestors of natural and life events.

  • EDUCATION and CELEBRATION Calendar of Religious Festivals
    shap EDUCATION AND CELEBRATION Calendar of Religious Festivals July 2019 – December 2020 Loy Kratong at the Buddhapadipa Temple in Richmond Park, South London Shap Calendar of Religious Festivals 2019 - 2020 EDITORIAL 2019 – 2020 THE SHAP WORKING PARTY IS NO MORE!!! We informed you last year that it would happen, and it did! The Working Party celebrated its 50th Jubilee with a conference at the Shap Wells Hotel, where our Shappery first began in April 1969. And now the Working Party no longer exists as such. We leave the work it undertook in the hands of others, and give our individual support in a multitude of different forms to all who work for the cause of World Religions in Education. The Calendar will however continue, on line and by post, along with the Shap website and the Shap Audio-Glossary, available on the Shap website, and the Shap Archive in the Bodleian Library in the centre of Oxford ([email protected]). The Calendar is in the hands of a group of twelve members of Shap, led by a team of four of us, Paul Hopkins, David Rose, Roger Butler and myself as Editor. It has developed steadily over its 50 years of its life and we intend that it will continue to grow and change steadily in the future. In particular we have simplified its name, which will now be ‘The Shap Calendar of Religious Festivals’; and ‘Shap Calendar Group’ will be the new name of our bank account, as shown on any invoices we send you in the future.

  • Iranians in Sweden
    Article • DOI: 10.1515/njmr-2018-0013 NJMR • 8(2) • 2018 • 73-81 A FRAGMENTED DIASPORA: Iranians in Sweden Abstract The notion of diaspora generally indicates achievements: creating a home Shahram Khosravi* outside the homeland, entrepreneurship, the establishment of local and global networks, new organisations, media and spatial as well as social Stockholm University, Sweden mobility. In studies of Iranian diaspora, a rosy picture of ‘super successful’ Iranians has often obscured other aspects of the diaspora — failure, conflicts, internal exclusion and fragmentation of the group along various lines, such as ideologies, class, gender, local identification and cause of migration. Through ethnographic vignettes of the Iranian migrants in Sweden, this article demonstrates the segmentation, hybridity and complexity of the experiences of the diaspora. Avoiding the language of generalisation and by focussing instead on particular histories and individual circumstances, it reveals the diversity, disintegration and contradictions within what has been assumed to be a homogeneous and static diaspora.
