Name, Last name: Zelal Özdemir Signature : iii ABSTRACT A HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY APPROACH TO IRANIAN NATIONALISM (1921-1979): AN IR PERSPECTIVE Özdemir, Zelal PhD, Programme of Area Studies Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayça Ergun Özbolat Co-Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Meliha Altunışık June 2016, 232 pages This thesis explores the discourse of Iranian nationalism constructed by the Iranian state between 1921 and 1979. This study unravels the international connections of Iranian nationalism following a framework that sits at the intersection of Historical Sociology, Historical Sociology in International Relations and modernist approaches to nationalism. It argues that the creation and development of the definition of Iranian nationalism is interconnected with the modern state which is itself bound up with the international. In order to understand the nature of the meaning attached to being Iranian/Iranianness/Iraniyat on the part of the state we should look into the specifics of international-domestic interaction, historicise that process and search for multiple causes rather than one single cause.

Safizadeh: The Dynamics of Ethnic Identity in Iranian Azerbaijan 55 The Dynamics of Ethnic Identity in Iranian Azerbaijan Fereydoun Safizadeh Introduction The population in Iran has doubled since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and today it stands at nearly 75 million. Iran has a multiethnic, multi-tribal, multilingual, multicultural and multi- religious society. In addition to the historic Persian-Iranian identity, the population has a multi-layered and multi-faceted cultural, linguistic, tribal, religious, regional identification and affiliations. The diversity of society harks back to an earlier era, prior to the imposition of either/or dichotomous principles of ethnic nationalism at the turn of 20th century in Europe and elsewhere. Today, this dichotomous envisioning of society is best exemplified by the figure such as the one below where you have a highly simplified chart representing the composition of the society that is ethnographically unable to capture any of the multi- faceted and the multi-layered dimensions of group identity in Iran.

NUMBER WORDS OF QASHQAI: EXAMPLES FROM SHIRAZ AND ITS SURROUNDINGS Abstract Numbers are the basic word entities of the languages. The entity of the language is measured with the number system. Turkish number systems have Gokturkish roots. Number words of Turkish which are used in Oghuz geography also come from this basic source. Semi-nomadic Qashqai Turks, which is an Oghuz branch, lives within the borders of Iran, mostly in the Shiraz and its surroundings. Qashqai people who are bilingual are not separated from other Turkish dialects in terms of using number words. In addition to this, the influence of Farsi cannot be underestimated.

  • Taghi Farvar – 1942-2018
    Promoting the appropriate recognition of, and support to, the territories and areas conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities (ICCAs) www.iccaconsortium.org Dr. Mohammad Taghi Farvar – 1942-2018 Born in 1942, M. Taghi Farvar was heir of Shahsevan indigenous pastoralists in Iranian Azerbaijan. And nomad he remained all his life, working in all continents and being at ease with people from diverse languages, cultures, religions and world views. As President of the ICCA Consortium, he was our inspirer and motivator in chief. Many of us dedicate time and energy to the Consortium beyond the call of duty because of Taghi, because we met him, worked with him, were moved and influenced by him. Taghi led at least three international movements from within—all tied by a unifying theme. The first movement Taghi brought to the fore is the one that pioneered the critique of development and opened countless eyes to the unintended consequences for environment and health of major “development” initiatives (dams, ports, roads, urbanization, deforestation, large scale agribusiness and extractive industries…). He did so by doing extensive research and organising conferences while he was working on his PhD with Barry Commoner in the 1960s and early 1970s. This was one of the earliest ever interdisciplinary PhDs, linking anthropology and environmental sciences (his thesis, defended at Washington University, investigated DDT residues in mothers’ milk among plantation workers in Guatemala). It was around that time that Taghi took part in the civil rights movement in the USA, was assigned to share rooms with African-Americans in the university (the USA was an apartheid country and he was an Iranian, after all), was badly beaten by racist thugs, and edited and published the book The Careless Technology: Ecology and International Development (New York, Doubleday/Natural History Press, Conservation Foundation and Centre for the Biology of Natural Systems, 1030pp, 1972), which remains a classic.
