Dřabord je remercie mon professeur, Monsieur Pierre Halen qui a accepté de diriger cette thèse ; ensuite je remercie ma famille : mon mari, Monsieur Aboutaleb Soltanian et mes deux enfants, Saeid et Nahid, qui ont certainement supporté des difficultés au cours de mes recherches, surtout lors de mon séjour en France. Il convient également que je me souvienne de mes défunts parents et leur encouragement à continuer mes études. 2 Je dédie cette thèse à tous les patriotes dans le monde qui ont combattu héroïquement contre le colonialisme et ont défendu les frontières de leurs patries. Je lřoffre également à tous les esprits libéraux qui ont lutté courageusement pour la liberté, lřégalité et la fraternité. 3 INTRODUCTION La littérature persane contemporaine est caractérisée par une évolution au niveau du style et des thèmes, ainsi que par lřadoption de nouveaux genres littéraires, ce qui, selon les historiens de la littérature, a résulté de lřinfluence de la littérature russe, anglaise et surtout française. Cette théorie nous a poussée à faire une recherche concernant la part de cette dernière dans lřévolution en question, en posant quelques questions : 1. Quels facteurs ont contribué à rendre sensible la société persane à la littérature française ? 2. Quel a été le rôle de la traduction dřouvrages français dans lřévolution de la littérature persane contemporaine ? 3. Influencé par quels auteurs européens Djamalzadeh a-t-il composé son premier recueil, Yéki boud-o yéki naboud (Il était une fois) ? 4. Quelle modification profonde a subie la qésséh persane après la publication de Yéki boud-o yéki naboud ? Pour répondre aux questions ci-dessus, il nous a paru nécessaire dřanalyser, dans une première partie, les relations politiques et culturelles de lřIran et de la France, ainsi que le rôle des Persans dans la diffusion de la langue et de la littérature françaises dans l'Iran contemporain. Lřenvoi dřétudiants persans en France, la fondation de Dâr ol-Fonoun, la mise en place de lřimprimerie, la 4 fondation de Dâr ot-Tarjomeh (le centre de traduction), la traduction dřouvrages français et la reconnaissance de la langue française comme la langue officielle étrangère en Perse, sont autant de sujets que nous aborderons dans cette partie. Lisant les traductions dřouvrages européens, les écrivains persans ont tendu vers une plus grande simplicité de la prose. Ce quřon appelle la « littérature socio-politique » persane est née vers la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle ; les idées progressistes, voire révolutionnaires, venant de lřEurope, et notamment de la France, ont envahi dřabord la prose et puis la poésie, après la révolution constitutionnelle, donnant lieu à des œuvres sans précédent dans la littérature classique persane. Les poètes, tout en gardant au début la forme classique, ont introduit une nouveauté thématique dans la poésie et, puis, en 1923, Nimâ Youchij, en composant Afsânéh (la légende) et en présentant une nouvelle forme littéraire, ch‛ré now (la poésie moderne), fit en réalité une révolution dans la poésie classique persane. Dans la deuxième partie, nous avons consacré dřabord un chapitre à la Révolution constitutionnelle de lřIran (1905-1912), contexte qui nous sert à mieux comprendre cette « littérature socio-politique » persane de lřépoque. Qualifier cette production, dřune manière générale, de « socio-politique » est un usage déjà bien établi chez les historiens 1, et nous le reprendrons à notre compte. Il est difficile, en effet, de la qualifier de « militante » ou dř« engagée », car les écrivains et les poètes de cette époque ne défendaient pas une idéologie particulière, ou, du moins pas une idéologie aussi caractérisée que lorsquřon parle, pour la littérature française au XXe siècle singulièrement, de militantisme 1 Cette expression est utilisée à titre dřexemple par Mohammad Reza Tabrizi Chirazi, dans son ouvrage intitulé : Naqché Freydoun Tavalloli dar adabiyâté siâsi éjtémâeiyé hokoumaté Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ; par Seyyed Morteza Meřraji dans son article intitulé : Moqaddamei bar ch’ré siâsi-éjtémâei dar zabâé fârsi ; ou encore par Jila Serati dans son article intitulé : Matlaé adabiyâté siâsi dar Irâné Moâsér. 5 ou dřengagement. « Littérature socio-politique » signifie ici : « littérature à thème socio-politique » au sens large. Un problème un peu semblable est posé par lřadjectif « révolutionnaire » et le nom « révolution » : il va de soi quřen recourant à eux dans les pages qui suivent, nous nous plions à lřusage qui en est généralement fait en relation avec la période de la Révolution constitutionnelle en Iran, et non en fonction dřautres contextes, où ils ont pu prendre des significations légèrement différentes. En particulier, rappelons quřils sont également appliqués, dans le contexte iranien, à deux partis différents ; lřun, qualifié dř« extrémiste » ou de « démocrate » voulait renverser la monarchie, éventuellement par la violence et le terrorisme ; lřautre, le parti modéré, sřaccommodait de la monarchie tout en réclamant néanmoins, lui aussi, des changements radicaux en matière dřégalité entre les sexes, les religions, les statuts, etc. Ensuite, nous avons estimé nécessaire de situer en particulier dans ce contexte les œuvres de deux journalistes : Ali Akbar Dehkhoda et Seyyed Achrafaddin Qazvini (Guilani) ainsi que de deux prosateurs : Abdorrahim Najjar Tabrizi et Zeyn ol-Abedin Maragheï. Cette approche encore générale nous servira à identifier les origines de lřévolution de la prose persane contemporaine, dont le ressort fut la traduction dřouvrages européens. Nous traiterons aussi du journal Nasimé Chomâl, car, bien quřil sřagisse là de poésie, on y voit apparaître les thèmes socio-politiques que le poète avait introduits dans ses vers, tout en gardant le style classique persan. Lřétude de Čarand-o parand (sornette, ânerie ou bêtise) montrera la grande importance des écrits de Dehkhoda. Elle nous servira à préciser la part que lřauteur a eue dans la naissance de la nouvelle persane ainsi que dans la mise en œuvre du langage populaire. Nous verrons en particulier comment lřarticle du numéro 27/28, intitulé Qandroun, a jeté en réalité les bases primitives de la nouvelle persane qui atteindra ensuite son apogée avec Yéki boud-o yéki naboud (Il était une fois), le recueil dřinspiration réaliste de lřécrivain Djamalzadeh. Pour cette raison, nous citerons le texte 6 intégral de cet article qui nous permettra de à ne pas perdre de vue le rôle de Dehkhoda dans la naissance de la nouvelle persane. Dans la troisième partie, nous consacrerons dřabord un chapitre aux facteurs qui ont favorisé la genèse du premier recueil de nouvelles persanes, Yéki boud-o yéki naboud, en 1921. Lřanalyse de la préface du recueil, nous le verrons, sřavère aussi importante que celle des nouvelles. Ce texte liminaire est considéré en effet comme une sorte de manifeste pour la prose persane contemporaine, dans lequel Djamalzadeh invite ses collègues à écrire en une langue vivante, simple et compréhensible et à composer des romans. Mais ce quřil demandait, ses devanciers lřavaient déjà commencé ; Qařem Maqam Farahani avait fait les premiers pas en direction dřune simplification de la prose, puis, dřautres écrivains lřavaient suivi. Zeyn ol-Abedin Maragheï avait publié, dans un langage simple, les trois tomes de son roman social entre les années 1895-1909 ; après cela, les premiers romans socio-historiques, conçus dans le but dřexciter le sentiment nationaliste, étaient parus depuis lřannée 1910. En étudiant la préface de Yéki boud-o yéki naboud où lřauteur présente La Guerre des Turcomans et Histoire de Gambèr-Aly du recueil Des nouvelles asiatiques de Gobineau ainsi que le roman de Hâji Bâbâ de Morier comme les meilleurs nouvelles et roman concernant lřIran, nous montrerons quřils ont influencé Djamalzadeh dans la composition de son recueil. La similarité entre quelques nouvelles de Yéki boud-o yéki naboud et celles de Gobineau sera examinée. Le roman de Hâji Bâbâ de James Morier, auteur anglais lié à lřorientalisme, est un roman dřesprit colonial, en ce sens quřil développe une image à la fois obscure, inerte et impure de lřIran. Morier lui-même avait subi en

  • In the Eyes of the Iranian Intellectuals of The
    “The West” in the Eyes of the Iranian Intellectuals of the Interwar Years (1919–1939) Mehrzad Boroujerdi n 1929, after a lecture by Arnold Toynbee (from the notes of Denison Ross, the fi rst director of the School of Oriental and African Studies) on the subject of the modern- ization of the Middle East, a commentator said, Persia has not been modernized and has not in reality been Westernized. Look at the map: there is Persia right up against Russia. For the past hundred years, living cheek by jowl with Russia, Persia has maintained her complete independence of Russian thought. Although sixty to seventy percent of her trade for the past hundred years has been with Russia, Persia remains aloof in spirit and in practice. For the past ten years, Persia has been living alongside the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, and has remained free from any impregnation by their basic ideas. Her freedom is due to her cultural independence. For the safety of Persia it is essential, if she is to continue to develop on her own lines, that she should not attempt modernization, and I do not think that the attempt is being made. It is true that the Persians have adopted motor-cars and in small way railways. But let us remember that the Persians have always been in the forefront in anything of that sort. The fi rst Eastern nation to enter the Postal Union and to adopt a system of telegraphs was Persia, which country was also among the fi rst of the Eastern nations to join the League of Nations and to become an active member.

Abstract The 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran was based and formed upon the concept of Khomeinism, the religious, political, and social ideas of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. While the Iranian revolution was carried out with the slogans of independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic, Khomeini's framework gave it a specific impetus for the unity of people, religious culture, and leadership. Khomeinism was not just an effort, on a religious basis, to alter a national system. It included and was dependent upon the projection of a clash beyond a “national” struggle, including was a clash of ideology with that associated with the United States. Analysing the Iran-US relationship over the past century and Khomeini’s interpretation of it, this thesis attempts to show how the Ayatullah projected "America" versus Iranian national freedom and religious pride.

  • Contemplation on Jurisprudence Principles and Necessities of Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri's Legitimate Constitutional Theory
    Athens Journal of History XY Contemplation on Jurisprudence Principles and Necessities of Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri's Legitimate Constitutional Theory By Ali Mohammad Tarafdari The victory of Constitutional Revolution during Muzaffareddin Shah Qajar is considered as one of the biggest political-religious developments in Iranian contemporary history during which the Shiite Ulema (clergymen) by their serious involvement in this movement and acceptance of its leadership created a modern era of various views about the constitutional political structure through using the huge legacy of the Shiite political jurisprudence. Meanwhile, a group of these Ulema by bringing up the issue of legitimate constitution tried to present a new reading of the Shiite political thinking concerning the criteria of the legitimacy or non-legitimacy of the constitutional system. Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri is considered one of the most leading religious figures whose jurisprudential thinking regarding the Iranian constitutional movement has been reviewed and analyzed in this article historically and jurisprudentially. The main point/question in the article is that why and under what religious and historical necessities a group of the Ulema, particularly Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri, stood against the constitutional system and started to bring up the plan of Legitimate Constitutional Theory? The findings of this study show that the Legitimate Constitutional Theory was formed as a result of the Shia jurisprudential necessities and the historical conditions of that period, and that based on the Nouri's viewpoint analyzed in his main works, he in the position of religious authority and religious jurist believed he was defending the bases of Islamic religion, while the sources of pro-constitutionalists have considered Nouri's defense of Islam as the result of his support for autocracy.

[email protected] Received: 28/02/2019 Accepted: 02/09/2019 Abstract To seek the intellectual roots of the Iranian constitutionalism, one has to be back to the pre- constitutionalism epoch.

Nevertheless, they did not pay attention to the mechanism of how to move from traditional legal logic to the new one in Iran. In the Iranian Tanzimat period, considering the two concepts of law in the European lands (the political and the rational concepts), the idea of law seems to base on the rational concept. In that time, debates were on the explanation, justification, and interpretation of the law. All the utterances were about: which law is the right one? What is the proper criterion to pass a legal regulation? Must the law be written based on nature, the tradition, the practices, or the divine Sharia? This article is going to assess the represented hypothesis by investigating some works of intellectual elites and historical documents of Iranian pre-constitutionalism.

  • The Historical Relationship Between Women's Education and Women's
    The Historical Relationship between Women’s Education and Women’s Activism in Iran Somayyeh Mottaghi The University of York, UK Abstract This paper focuses on the historical relationship between women’s education and women’s activism in Iran. The available literature shows that education is consid- ered to be one important factor for Iranian women’s activism. The historical anal- ysis of women’s demand for education helps us to gain an understanding of the past in order to relate it to the future. This paper analyzes Iranian women’s active participation in education throughout the Safavid period (1501-1722) and the Qajar period (1794-1925). Women’s demand for education continued into the twentieth century and by the time of the constitutional revolution (1905-1911), during which Iranian women participated immensely in political affairs, the alliance of elite and non-elite women was clearly visible around educational issues. Women’s demand for education gained particular visibility; however, the focus shifted from modernization based on Westernization during the Pahlavi period (1925-1979), towards Islamization from 1979 onwards. This paper analyzes the ways in which, during different eras, women have been treated differently regard- ing their rights to education and at some points they faced difficulties even in exercising them; therefore, they had to constantly express their demands. Key words Iran, Education, Women’s movement, Historical perspective Introduction The historical analysis of women’s activism in Iran shows that educa- tion has always been considered an important factor for Iranian women and something that they have always demanded. The right to education is non-negotiable, embedded in the teaching of Islam as well as in hu- ㅣ4 ❙ Somayyeh Mottaghi man rights provisions.

  • "Désintérêt" Politique À Une Fascination Culturelle Mutuelle DISSERTATION
    France-Iran: dans le sillage du "désintérêt" politique à une fascination culturelle mutuelle DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jaleh Sharif, MA Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jennifer Willging, Adviser Professor Danielle Marx-Scouras Professor Richard Davis 1 Copyright by Jaleh Sharif 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation studies the history of Francophonie in Iran since the first fructuous official interactions between France and Persia in 17th century. Francophonie, i.e., the use of the French language and culture outside of France, has followed a winding path throughout several centuries in Persia (Iran). It grew from the interest of the Persian elite in a French society that neither engaged Persia militarily, nor attempted to compete with other European powers doing so. France's apparent lack of political interest in Persia became an official French diplomatic policy of "désintéressement," or "disinterest." This "hands off" policy nourished a Persian/Iranian fascination with French culture during the 19th and 20th centuries, as France was seen as a potential ally against the growing menace of Russia and Great Britain. As a result, and despite the growing political influence of other Western powers in Persia/Iran, the French language enjoyed the privileged status of first foreign Western language in Persia/Iran for almost a century, before being replaced by the English language due to the entry of the United States onto the international stage after the Second World War.

  • Afterword: Social Justice in Iran: Further Research
    AFTeRWORD: SOCIAL JUSTICe IN IRAN: FURTHeR ReSeARCH This book offers possibly the first collection dedicated to social justice studies in Iran. It is hoped that the multi- and interdisciplinary contribu- tions in this book, written by scholars and activists from wide-ranging aca- demic and nonacademic backgrounds, set the stage for the much-needed, future research on the subject. Understandably, this volume cannot possi- bly address the complexities of the multiple issues pertaining to social jus- tice, including gender justice, justice for workers, vulnerable, the socially and economically disenfranchised, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, as well as ecological justice. This project therefore invites further research on the topic of the Iranians’ struggles for social justice since Iran’s entry into political modernity around the turn of the nineteenth to the twen- tieth century. As such, future research can be accommodated within four tentative and nonexclusive thematic–conceptual categories. POLITICAL ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC JUSTICe Understanding the economic, policy, and legal factors that enable or deny social and economic justice is key to understanding this phenomenon. It is through the implementation of state policies that ideology and power are exercised, negotiated, or forced, causing measurable impact on the peo- ple’s lives.
