  • Interview with Bahman Jalali1
    11 Interview with Bahman Jalali1 By Catherine David2 Catherine David: Among all the Muslim countries, it seems that it was in Iran where photography was first developed immediately after its invention – and was most inventive. Bahman Jalali: Yes, it arrived in Iran just eight years after its invention. Invention is one thing, what about collecting? When did collecting photographs beyond family albums begin in Iran? When did gathering, studying and curating for archives and museum exhibitions begin? When did these images gain value? And when do the first photography collections date back to? The problem in Iran is that every time a new regime is established after any political change or revolution – and it has been this way since the emperor Cyrus – it has always tried to destroy any evidence of previous rulers. The paintings in Esfahan at Chehel Sotoon3 (Forty Pillars) have five or six layers on top of each other, each person painting their own version on top of the last. In Iran, there is outrage at the previous system. Photography grew during the Qajar era until Ahmad Shah Qajar,4 and then Reza Shah5 of the Pahlavi dynasty. Reza Shah held a grudge against the Qajars and so during the Pahlavi reign anything from the Qajar era was forbidden. It is said that Reza Shah trampled over fifteen thousand glass [photographic] plates in one day at the Golestan Palace,6 shattering them all. Before the 1979 revolution, there was only one book in print by Badri Atabai, with a few photographs from the Qajar era. Every other photography book has been printed since the revolution, including the late Dr Zoka’s7 book, the Afshar book, and Semsar’s book, all printed after the revolution8.

  • The Development of Iranian Calendar Historical and Astronomical
    The development of Iranian calendar: historical and astronomical foundations Musa Akrami Department of Philosophy of Science Islamic Azad University - Science and Research Branch of Tehran Tehran, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The official Iranian calendar is a solar one that in both the length and the first day of its year is based not on convention, but on two natural (i.e. astronomical) factors: a) the moment of coincidence of the centre of the Sun and the vernal equinox during the Sun’s apparent revolution around the Earth; and b) the time length between two successive apparent passages of the Sun’s center across that point. These factors give this calendar the chance that 1) its beginning is the beginning of natural solar year, 2) its length is the length of solar year, and 3) the length of its months is very close to the time of the Sun’s passage across twelve signs of the Zodiac from Farvardin/Aries to Esfand/Pisces. In this paper it would be shown that a) discussions concerning these facts have their own historical backgrounds, and b) up-to-date computations, being based on choosing the tropical year (i.e. 365.24219879 days) as the length of the calendar year, give the best possible intercalation with its specific system of leap years. Thus, on the grounds of historical documents, astronomical data, and mathematical calculations, we establish the Iranian calendar with the highest possible accuracy, which gives it the unique exemplary place among all calendars.

  • 2 Mehr and Mehregan
    MEHREGAN - MEHR 2 Mehr and Mehregan Pireyeh Yaghmaii Writer and Poet o Mehr! As we have not been amongst Mehr-Dorujansl free us from needs, from all needs. You have the power to prevail, fear and worry over the bodies of the Mehr-Dorujans. You have the might, when you are angry, to take away: their strength of arms their energy of knees, their sight of eyes, and the hearing of their ears (Mehr-Yasht, vi, 23).2 Ancient Persians believed happiness to be a grace from Ahura-Mazda and sadness an evil from the Devil. Happiness was so dear to them that the Achaemenian kings saw it in unity with the creation of the heavens and the Earth, as was engraved at the beginning of their tablets: Ahura-Mazda is the great Lord who created this Earth and created that sky and created the human being and created happiness for human beings. The ancient Persians did not even mourn the death of people and considered mourning and grieving a great sin, and struggled for happiness; they used every occasion as an excuse to celebrate.3 The ancient Persians did not observe week days. They had twelve months of 30 days each, in which every day had a name.4 They regarded the extra five days at the end of the year as celebration days, called andargah. Within the 30 day cycle there were twelve days, each named after the months. when the name of the day coincided with the name of the month, that day was celebrated and special events were organized.
