  • ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Iranica Upsaliensia 28
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Iranica Upsaliensia 28 Traces of Time The Image of the Islamic Revolution, the Hero and Martyrdom in Persian Novels Written in Iran and in Exile Behrooz Sheyda ABSTRACT Sheyda, B. 2016. Traces of Time. The Image of the Islamic Revolution, the Hero and Martyrdom in Persian Novels Written in Iran and in Exile. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Studia Iranica Upsaliensia 28. 196 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-9577-0 The present study explores the image of the Islamic Revolution, the concept of the hero, and the concept of martyrdom as depicted in ten post-Revolutionary Persian novels written and published in Iran compared with ten post-Revolutionary Persian novels written and published in exile. The method is based on a comparative analysis of these two categories of novels. Roland Barthes’s structuralism will be used as the theoretical tool for the analysis of the novels. The comparative analysis of the two groups of novels will be carried out within the framework of Foucault’s theory of discourse. Since its emergence, the Persian novel has been a scene for the dialogue between the five main discourses in the history of Iran since the Constitutional Revolution; this dialogue, in turn, has taken place within the larger framework of the dialogue between modernity and traditionalism. The main conclusion to be drawn from the present study is that the establishment of the Islamic Republic has merely altered the makeup of the scene, while the primary dialogue between modernity and traditionalism continues unabated. This dialogue can be heard in the way the Islamic Republic, the hero, and martyrdom are portrayed in the twenty post-Revolutionary novels in this study.

  • Be Awake Sleep Soundly
    Be Awake & Sleep Soundly By Norman “Nourollah” Gabay English Translation by Payman Akhlaghi “The future isn’t somewhere we’re headed for, but it’s what we’ll make it to be.” – Paraphrase of an Inscription at Oxford University It’s said of an Iranian and an Egyptian student who one day were arguing at an American university over the matter of cultural heritage. The Iranian said,“We have a 3000-year old civilization.” The Egyptian replied,“But our civilization dates back to 4000 years ago. We’ve even found wires at the Pyramids which show that back then, our ancestors used wires for communication!” The Iranian retorted,“Ha! We were so ahead of our time that 4000 years ago, we were already communicating wirelessly!” Say, your father was a sage, but what does his knowledge have to do with you? Many an Egyptian today who wastes their time riding camels in the heat of the desert and burns in religious hatred. America, on the other hand, this young country without a thousand-year old history, is walking on the moon. The Persian magazine Rah-e Zendegi had recently quoted from the Internet, and I summarize, that “palm is a strange tree; no wonder that Persian language counts it as nafar, as if it were a person. You chop off its “head”, and the tree will die, even though the roots may still be healthy. As Dr. Karim Mojtahedi, an Iranian professor of philosophy said, ‘culture is akin to a palm tree. It doesn’t matter if your roots have been there in the soil for thousands of years.

  • Culture and Cultural Politics Under Reza Shah
    Culture and Cultural Politics Under Reza Shah Culture and Cultural Politics Under Reza Shah presents a collection of innovative research on the interaction of culture and politics accompanying the vigorous modernization program of the first Pahlavi ruler. Examining a broad spectrum of this multifaceted interaction it makes an important contribution to the cultural history of the 1920s and 1930s in Iran, when, under the rule of Reza Shah Pahlavi, dramatic changes took place inside Iranian society. With special reference to the practical implementation of specific reform endeavors, the various contributions critically analyze different facets of the relationship between cultural politics, individual reformers, and the everyday life of modernist Iranians. Interpreting culture in its broadest sense, this book brings together con- tributions from different disciplines such as literary history, social history, ethnomusicology, art history, and Middle Eastern politics. In this way, it combines for the first time the cultural history of Iran’s modernity with the politics of the Reza Shah period. Challenging a limited understanding of authoritarian rule under Reza Shah, this book is a useful contribution to existing literature for students and scholars of Middle Eastern History, Iranian History, and Iranian Culture. Dr Bianca Devos is Assistant Professor/Lecturer at the Center for Near and Middle East Studies at the University of Marburg (Germany). Her main fields of research are Iran’s modern history, particularly the press and early modern entrepreneurship, and literary history. Professor Christoph Werner holds the Chair of Iranian Studies at the Center for Near and Middle East Studies at the University of Marburg (Germany). His main fields of interest are Qajar history, vaqf studies, and modern Persian literature.

  • Mausoleums: Architectural Representation of Changing Islamic Ideologies
    TDSR VOLUME XXIX NUMBER II 2018 55 Making Histories of “Sacred” Mausoleums: Architectural Representation of Changing Islamic Ideologies SHAHRZAD SHIRVANI This article explores the role of mausoleums and shrines in both the construction of Mus- lim identity and contemporary practices of nation-building in the Middle East. Using a comparative method, it analyzes the representational qualities of two important memorial complexes in Iran: the now-demolished mausoleum of Reza Shah (r. 1925–1941), who established the former Pahlavi monarchy, and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini, the charismatic founder of the present Islamic Republic. The research engages with the form, iconography and architecture of the two complexes to discern and interpret the signs of authority and religiosity inscribed in each. It thus contributes to understanding the role of sacred space and sacred memory in the formation of national identity in Iran before and after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and under different political/religious ideologies. The breaking news on June 7, 2017, was shocking. Twin terrorist attacks had targeted the Iranian Parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini. Responsibility for the at- tacks, which left thirteen people dead and 46 others wounded, was claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS). Initial reports indicated that the attackers included suicide bombers who intended to blow themselves up inside the haram of the mausoleum complex. However, it was later confirmed that the attackers had been shot and killed by guardians and police prior to entering the “holy shrine.” Media coverage of the incident was extensive, and Iranian television showed a report- er standing at the northern gate of the shrine-like mausoleum, with its golden dome and Shahrzad Shirvani is a Ph.D.
