City of Knowledge in Twentieth Century Iran
This book presents a cultural history of modern Iran from the point of view of Shiraz, a city famous for its poetry and its traditions of scholarship. Exploring the relationship among history, poetry and politics, the book analyzes how Shiraz came to be defined as the country’s cultural capital, and explains how Iranians have used the concept of culture as a way of thinking about themselves, their past and their relationship with the rest of the world. Weaving together a theoretical approach with extensive ethnographic research, the book suggests a model to integrate broad concerns with a nuanced analysis of Iran’s cultural traditions and practices. The author’s interdisciplinary approach sheds light on how contempor ary Iranians relate to classical Persian poetry; on the relationship between expressive forms and the political imagination; and on the different ways teachers, professors, cultural managers, poets and scholars think and work. He describes how history and poetry are the two dominant modes to talk about the past, present and future of the town and demon strates that the question of knowledge is crucial to an understanding of the political and existential dimensions of life in Iran today. This book will be a major contri bution to the current effort to move away from nationalist views of Iranian history and culture, and as such will be of great interest to scholars of cultural anthropology, history, Middle Eastern studies and Iranian studies.

I began learning about Iran and Shiraz during my university education in Italy, my home country. This linguistic and textual encounter turned into an ethnographic one in 1989 when I traveled to Iran for a six-month stay. I visited Shiraz almost every summer during the 1990s and spent eighteen months there between June 1996 and December 1997. I thank the Doc- toral Program in Anthropology and History, the Rackham School of Graduate Studies and the International Institute, all at the University of Michigan, as well as the American Institute of Iranian Studies, for funding this segment of the research. I returned to Shiraz during the summers of 2001 and 2003, thanks to a grant from Italy’s CNR and research founds from the Università di Milano-Bicocca. I thank McGill University for offer- ing me a start-up grant to complete research and writing. The follow ing pages are the result of my encounters with people in Shiraz who welcomed me with immense generosity. It is not possible to name all of them here. I thank ‘Alî Rizâ Anûshirvânî, Mr. Çamankhâh, Kurûsh Kamâlî-Sarvistânî, ‘Abd al-Rasul Khayrandîsh, Qâsim Kâkâ’î, Mr. Nizâmzâda, Mansûr Rastigâr and Jamshîd Sidâqatkîsh. The staff of the Encyclopedia of Fars has been very supportive. ‘Alî Asghar Sayfî has offered me his time, advice and immense knowledge about Shiraz: the book could not have been written without his help. I am grateful to the late ‘Alî Akbar Nûrîzâda who accepted me in his bookstore even if I was so different from his regular visitors. I wish to express my gratitude to the late Âyatullâh Majd al-dîn Mahallâtî who so kindly talked to me about his father, to his son Amîr Mahallâtî for facilitating visits to his seminary and Muhammad Barakat for his advice and help in consulting the library. Hâshim Sidqâmîz is a true friend and the best intellectual interlocutor one could find. We discussed, agreed and disagreed. Many of the central ideas of the book developed from these exchanges and Hâshim’s infinite suggestions. At the University of Michigan, Brinkley Messick, Sally Humphreys, Val- entine E. Daniel and Juan Cole were a tremend ous source of inspiration and support. Continuing dialogues with them have kept guiding my think- ing. I thank Marty Baker, Laurent Dubois, Paul Eiss, Elisabeth Ferry, Jim Herron, Nadim Hussein, Oren Kosanski, Joseph Parvis, Penelope Papalias, Acknowledgments xi David Pedersen, Steven Pierce and Lucine Taminian, for discussing with me parts of the manuscript and engaging in open-ended conversations. Probing chats with Anupama Rao have been among the rewards of this endeavor. During fieldwork and the initial writing process, Mandana Limbert engaged with every aspect of this work and contributed to shaping my thoughts and sentences. I thank Nicholas Dirks for welcoming me as a Sawyer Fellow at Colum- bia University in 2002 and Hamid Dabashi for his perceptive comments on my talk. At the MIT Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture, Nasser Rabat and Heghnar Watenpaugh guided me in reflecting on architectural history. I thank Jocelyne Dakhlia for imaginative conversations and for inviting me to her seminar at the EHSS in Paris, the perfect place to present the project. At the Università di Firenze and Università di Milano- Bicocca, far-reaching dialogs on anthropological issues with Alice Bellag- amba, Ugo Fabietti, Roberto Malighetti, Claudia Mattalucci, Leonardo Piasere and Mauro Van Aken solidified and expanded my approach. Dis- cussions about the public sphere with Armando Salvatore have also been precious occasions to think about Italian intellectual forms of life and their dislocations. At the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill, I have the fortune to engage in daily exchanges with Malek Abisaab, Rula Abisaab, Michelle Hartman, Laila Parsons, Jamil Ragep and Robert Wisnovsky. I thank them for welcom- ing and constantly supporting an Italian ethnographer, and sharing with him so many insights about the study of intellectual practices. In the Depart- ment of Anthropology, conversations with Andre Costopoulos, Nicole Couture, Eduardo Kohn, John Galaty, Ron Niezen, Kristin Norget, Tobias Rees, Lisa Stevenson and Ismael Vaccaro pushed me to elaborate on my vision of anthropology. I spent pleasant hours around Montreal discussing the city of knowledge with Wilson Jacob, Michelle Hartman, Andrew Ivaska and Najat Rahman, who all provided comments and critiques on chapters in the most supporting manner. With her knowledge, sensibility and smile Homa Hoodfar renewed my awareness of the complexity of Iranian society. Endless conversations with Farbod Honarpisheh about “our” city refined my approach; his textual and internet research has been amazing. Steven Caton, Arang Keshavarzian, Naveeda Khan and Afshin Matin-Asghari, and most of all, Michael Gilsenan read and offered seminal comments on all or part of the manuscript. Carin McCormack invaluably helped in editing por- tions of the manuscript. I thank Hussam Ahmed, Katrin Dinkel, Katoyun Haqiqi, Kianoosh Hashemzadeh and Shirin Radjavi who assisted me at dif- ferent stages of the production process. I am grateful to Mohamad Tavakoli- Targhi and Homa Katouzian for welcoming the book in their series. I owe my overall understanding of the culture of Iran to the late Hamid Reza Baharloo and the late Herman Vahramian. There could not have been two more different intellectual styles, and yet, in their incommensurability, they were both part of what I call the city of knowledge. A note on transliteration and permissions
I transliter ate Persian words and sentences following a simplified version of the International Journal for Middle Eastern Studies transliteration system, except for names like Reza Shah, Pahlavi, Khomeini, Khamenei, or names of places like Shiraz and Tehran which I have rendered in their commonly used English forms. I have used diacritics only for indicating the differ ence between short and long vowels. Dates are expressed in ce with Iranian solar dates in parentheses. When the year is followed by an “H” it indicates a Hijri year.

When President Obama addressed the people and government of Iran on March 20th, 2009 he invited them to a “new beginning” in mutual rela tions by framing his political proposition with references to the history and culture of Iran. Obama’s carefully crafted speech reached its rhet orical climax when he quoted the verse “the children of Adam are limbs to each other, created of one essence” by the twelfth century poet Sa‘dî, one of the most revered figures from Shiraz, a city in Iran known through the centuries as the Abode of Knowledge. Why are Iranians so invested in their culture, history and, most of all, in their poetry that the US administration believed an appeal to these could make a signific ant difference? What is the relationship between history, poetry and politics in Iran? How is it that the city of Shiraz is at the center of this constellation? Obama’s invitation was quickly superseded by the events of June 2009 when people took to the streets all over Iran to protest what they considered the unfair election of President Ahmadinejad to a second term. These questions however have remained relevant and offer an important vantage point to understand contempor ary Iran, up to recent events. City of Knowledge addresses these questions by offering a genealogical ethnography of history and poetry in contemporary Iran. It argues that a study of the workings of knowledge in Iran is essential for understanding how Iranians relate to each other, to their country and to the world. While most of the current discussions about Iran center on either religion or nuclear strategy, this book demonstrates that the question of knowledge is crucial to an understanding of the political and existential dimensions of life in Iran today.1 City of Knowledge’s historical and ethnographic perspect ive privileges the analysis of processes of knowledge formation without taking individuals and categor ies for granted. Researching the question of knowledge, in Iran or elsewhere, one risks approaching knowledge as a collection of texts, images and objects separated from the process of their production. As a consequence, one loses sight of the historical conjunctures in which such knowledge has been produced. When this happens, the history of 2 Introduction: city of knowledge Iran turns into a collection of unrelated facts. Or, conversely, one turns knowledge into an abstract human faculty and cannot account for the spe cificity of the categories at play, nor examine the ways in which subjects of knowledge are themselves constituted out of contingences.2 In this case, transformations are explained by identifying a stable and transhistorical “Iranian” character. Michel Foucault confronted this problem throughout his writings. He argued that the study of knowledge should proceed through a series of “dislocations” to avoid positing a subject (Iran in our case) as self- contained and self-explanatory. First, working to uncouple the study of knowledge from the question of the subject, he oriented his analysis to the historical study of concrete domains of knowledge (savoirs). Second, he combined the historical study of domains of knowledge with an analysis of their relationships with what he called “techniques of power,” the hetero geneous network of practices and discourses that organize social life. Third, towards the end of his life, he linked the analysis of domains of knowledge and techniques of power to the study of the self, returning full circle to the question of subject formation – albeit from a different per spective (Foucault 2008: 5–7, 41–42). City of Knowledge poses the question of knowledge through this three fold dislocation. The book attends to the ways in which forms of know ledge, history and poetry, in particular, have been constitutive of modern Iran. It combines this analysis with a discussion of the techniques of power that have operated at the intersection of these forms of knowledge, what could be called the arts of government of the Pahlavi monarchy first and the Islamic Republic subsequently. Finally it draws connections between the disjunction and interrelation of these two aspects with the process of self-formation, by interrogating the ways in which Iranians have been fash ioning themselves in relation to the domains of history and poetry and the techniques of power that sustained them. The book pursues the analysis of forms of knowledge, techniques of power and processes of subject formation through a historical and ethno graphic investigation. The scope of the research is genealogical. I am interested in reflecting retrospectively on how certain people, books and events became relevant in the formation of Shiraz as city of knowledge. For this reason I privilege material that appears emblematic in this regard, foregrounding singular books and people rather than aiming at present ing an overview of the whole.3 The book is also, and foremost, an anthro pological inquiry that considers the making of cultural categor ies, history among them. While deploying history as a tool for dislocating the self- containment of something called Iran or knowledge, the book turns these questions into a reflection on the egory cat of history itself and its formation.4 Introduction: city of knowledge 3 Shiraz, province of the twentieth century Foucault’s three conceptual dislocations adopted in the book correspond to a geographical displacement. Most work on contemporary Iran focuses on the capital Tehran, usually considered representative of the whole country.5 This focus is justified by the relevance the capital has in political and sociological terms. However, the after-effect of this concentration on Tehran is an analytical posture that posits either the state and/or the nation as the starting points of the analysis, obliterating the multiplicity of convergences and divergences from which both these constituencies emerge. In order to make this multiplicity relevant, the book examines the question of knowledge in Iran from the point of view of Shiraz, the Iranian “city of knowledge” par excellence, today heralded as the cradle of the culture of Iran. Shiraz is located in the south of Iran and counts today a popula tion of about a million and a half. The lands surrounding the plain of Shiraz were foundational for the two major dynasties of pre-Islamic Iran, the Achaeme nids (550–330 bce) and the Sassanids (206–651 ce). Ever since, Shiraz and its region, known as Fars, have been integral to histories of Iran. A saying of the prophet Muhammad describes the people of Fars as seekers of knowledge who would reach the stars to find what they are looking for.6 Moreover, the region of Fars – Persia in its Greek translation – came to signify for Europe the whole of the Iranian plateau, its people and culture as well as one of its major languages, Farsi.7 Since its foundation in the eighth century ce, Shiraz was known as a cultural center, as the birthplace of revered poets, mystics, scientists and scholars. The verses of the Shirazi poets Sa‘dî and Hâfiz are often quoted today to express what is believed to be the existential core of the Iranian people. Fabled among Iranians and orientalists alike, Shiraz represents everything that is supposed to stand for the great Iranian civilization that Obama evoked in his speech and Irani ans the world over are proud of.8 Today, the centrality of Shiraz in the imagination of Iranians and for eigners stands in contrast to its relative marginality as a provincial city, eco nomically and politically depend ent on Tehran. This apparent contradiction provides a unique “provincial” viewpoint on contemporary Iran. Representing neither a national perspective from the capital Tehran, nor a purely local view from a self-contained city, City of Knowledge pro poses the viewpoint of Shiraz as a “province” to highlight how local, national and global dimensions are mutually constituted.9 This original vantage point enables reflections on some of the key questions that concern contempor ary Iran: the politics of the Islamic Republic and the destiny of the revolution; the urban explosion and its existential and cul tural effects; and the relationship with the West and the world at large. A provincial perspective considers these issues by keeping in mind the relev ance of the nation, while not positing it as their endpoint. 4 Introduction: city of knowledge The book is both an engagement with, and an extension of, recent works in anthropology and history that are questioning the manner in which the study of Iran’s politics, history and knowledge are normally reduced to discussions of political Islam (e.g., Grigor 2004; Najmabadi 2005; Schayegh 2009; Tavakoli-Targhi 2001; Varzi 2006). Though these recent interventions have paid attention to the contingent genealogies of Iranian modernity, they have also taken the relationship between Iranian nationalism and European modernity as constitutive. By taking a “provin cial” viewpoint and analyzing the material and ideational circumstances surrounding specific forms of knowledge, my book shows how the nation and Europe are only two among several interjecting domains in the making of modern Iran.10 The perspective on Shiraz shows how the field of “culture” (farhang) came to occupy an equally if not more significant place in the process of subject formation. Intersecting but not coinciding with either nationalism or the conflicted relationship with Europe, “culture” became one of the primary venues for self-identification in twen tieth century Iran. As I will discuss in relation to Shiraz, culture became the conceptual ground upon which Iranians developed different or even opposite views of the nation, Islam and the very idea of themselves.
City of knowledge The term dâr al-‘ilm, Abode of Knowledge, was used in the early centuries after the hijra to describe a library and a place of learning.11 The epithet was also used to refer to cities renowned as centers of learning, Shiraz among them. According to the Shirazi scholar Sadr al-dîn Mahallâtî (Kânûn-i Dânish 1954), the city acquired the title dâr al-‘ilm in 1665 (1066 H), when the Safavid Shah ‘Abbâs II issued a document officially conferring the title to Shiraz in recog nition of the large number of schol ars and schools in the city. Here, the term ‘ilm refers to several intercon nected domains of scholarship centered around but not limited to theology and jurisprudence. The term also refers to the social relationship embedded in the institutions for higher learning (madrasas) and in the scholars (‘ulamâ’) who frequented them. Whether, as Mahallâtî argued, dâr al-‘ilm referred exclusively to the ‘ulamâ’ of Shiraz or included other forms of knowledge, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the term dâr al-‘ilm was often used more broadly to indicate the disposition of Shiraz and its inhabitants towards knowledge. In these writings Shiraz is the city embodying knowledge as a quality of people and things, reflected in its generations of grammarians, theologians, philosophers, mystics and poets, and nurtured by its equally famous pleasant gardens and climate.12 City of Knowledge appropriates the epithet dâr al-‘ilm to consider the making of Shiraz as an emblem of the culture of Iran. Although inspired by traditional etymologies and epithets, the book is not concerned with their origins or authenticity and uses the title as a descriptive construct to Introduction: city of knowledge 5 examine the production of knowledge in and about Shiraz and the con ditions that enabled it in the twentieth century. The book examines three intertwined processes. First, the book inquires into forms of knowledge, notably history and poetry and their production in Shiraz.13 By analyzing texts, authors and contexts, the book describes the modalities through which these forms are constituted and analyzes their truth claims, whether scientific, national and/or existential. It argues that history and poetry contrib uted to giving shape to the notion of an Iranian “culture” (farhang) that worked as a ground for subject formation. Second, the book shows how these forms of knowledge intertwine with a diverse set of social practices in and around Shiraz. My aim is to discuss how historical and liter ary writings relate to the process of urban trans formation, to the changing organization of the state and to a series of practices such as social gatherings and bookstore conversations. Only by considering these practices in their variety is it possible to show the extent to which they all interrelate in the making of Shiraz as city of knowledge. However, rather than offering a generic overview of this vast set, I analyze in detail a limited number of examples to explain the changing “tech niques of power” at play. I show how the vision of Shiraz as a city of culture came to be linked with the new organization of the Pahlavi state and its forms of domination through a diverse set of initiatives from city planning to scholarship on Achaemenids; how this vision was shared by people with opposite political views; how it was “reversed” after the revolution and infused with new ideas that made it even more resilient, up to the present. By linking the production of knowledge to techniques of power, without drawing a mechanical connection between the two, I aim at discussing the “arts of government” of twentieth century Iran and the relevance of culture, history and poetry in particular, for their implementation. Third, the book discusses how these practices are also processes of self- formation, ways in which normative ideas about how one should be in relation to oneself and to others are implemented and contested, and how in the course of the twentieth century both history and poetry have become relatively autonom ous ethical fields that sanction the propriety of certain behaviors and thoughts. I reflect on how history and poetry in Iran set norms for considering what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false. While connected to religious and political ideas, these norms are seen as autonomous from either and acquire resilience because of this perceived independence. Poetry in particular, falling on both sides of the religious/secular divide and invoked for the most diverse visions of the nation and beyond, appears as a particularly effective “technology of the self,” which provides a ground for different kinds of claims. Poetry is considered as the discourse that sustains and gives expression to human existence. Sa‘dî’s verses immediately following the one quoted by Obama continue: “When the calamity of time affects one limb/ the other limbs 6 Introduction: city of knowledge cannot remain at rest. If you have no sympathy for the trouble of others/ You are unworthy to be called human” (Sa‘dî 1928: 19, modified). The versatility and power of this poetry make it amenable to appropria tions such as the one by Obama or those by Iranians of opposite concerns. Whether poetry will actually be the premise for a new beginning or just an isolated episode is not for this book to say. What City of Knowledge demon strates is the force of this poetic discourse and practice and more broadly that of knowledge as a key element in the articulation of power and, there fore, in processes of self-formation among Iranians. As the verses by Sa‘dî quoted by Obama highlight, far from being a simple refer ence to a nationalized Iranian culture, the Shiraz viewpoint is a malleable trajectory that carries with it a differently interpretable ethos, a relation between self, other and the world that can be redeployed to sustain different political and existential projects.
Outline of the book Chapter 1 focuses on the construction of Shiraz as a city of knowledge in the twentieth century. It opens with an analysis of a book on the history and geography of Shiraz and the region of Fars written at the end of the nineteenth century. I show how a new configuration of the ancient past became a novel terrain on which an autonomous subject was to exercise reason, a process linked to the reorganization of the state under the Pahl avis in the following decades. Shiraz was constituted as a province and an object of knowledge: new avenues and administrative buildings were erected and its liter ate arts were celeb rated as expressions of Iran’s ancient civilization. The chapter details the transformations of this field of know ledge and its articulation as a prescriptive ground named “culture” (farhang) up to the end of the Pahlavi period, when institutions such as the Pahlavi university and events such as the Festival of the Arts were sup posed to locate Shiraz at the center of the monarchy’s vision of a secular, modernized and “cultured” Iran. Chapter 2 examines the spatio-temporal reconfiguration of the city in relation to the revolution of 1979. It analyzes space, time and culture in terms of the reversal of the monarchic order, a pervasive trope in the Islamic Republic. The revolution brought with it a continuous incitement to turn the order of things upside down. The primary quality of the new order invaded every realm and demanded a constant intervention into things, from the issues of the day to people and books. These acts of reversal asserted new beginnings but inevitably recalled the past if only to deny it. By considering how this “technique of power” has affected everything from buildings to the production of knowledge, the chapter describes how the afterlife of the revolution is depend ent on its continu ous reassertion. Chapter 3 focuses on the production of knowledge in contemporary Shiraz. It concentrates on what I term editing, a set of diverse practices that Introduction: city of knowledge 7 characterize the production of public knowledge. These practices rework words, images and objects from the past to make them conform to what is acceptable in the Islamic Republic in ways that make evident a process of superimposition. This, in turn, effects a revelation of the experiential “reality” underneath: a domain of depth, secrecy and truth that lies beneath the public surface. While, as many have noted, there is no particular coher ence or uniformity in the key practices of governance in the Islamic Repub lic, I demon strate how editing reinforces the bifurcation between surface and depth, public and secret, lies and truth which many scholars and journ alists take as the political and existential mark of collect ive and individual life in Iran. Detailing the editing practices of several public and private insti tutions in Shiraz as they reframe the past of the city and its cultural heritage, this chapter brings into focus particularities of the art of governing embed ded in editing and the entailments of making things public. Chapters 4 and 5 move from public streets to a private library. This change of location corresponds to an alternative genealogy of Shiraz as city of knowledge. In these chapters, I recount the conversations between a retired high school teacher and myself on the cultural history of Shiraz. The teacher has a rich library of books and documents on Shiraz and is himself part of the history I am researching. Born and raised in Shiraz, he has been an active particip ant in political events since the 1950s and has a critical and discerning eye on his city and Iran. He embodies the idea of Shiraz as city of knowledge. Our collaborative endeavor is to set the histor ical record straight: to amend the superficiality of available narratives on Shiraz and account for its richness and complexity. For the teacher this implies celebrating the community of people that he sees central to Shiraz as city of knowledge. For the ethnographer it is a chance to consider know ledge in the making. The outcome is a fragmented account that chal lenges some of the presuppositions of its public version while reinforcing the idea of Shiraz as city of knowledge. Chapter 4 introduces the discussions between the teacher and myself in the form of a conceptual and material cartography of the city. This mapping process also delineates the contours of our relationship: the area that brought us together but also delimited our exchange. We talk about a set of buildings representing different engagements with knowledge: the school (madrasa), the shrine (imâmzâda), the mystical brotherhood’s lodge (khâniqâh). Evoking people and places we also outline several approaches to knowledge and the social relationships that they entail. These relation ships are not unique to Shiraz, but the teacher makes them specific by pointing out a distinctive Shirazi “line of conduct” (khatt): scholars, mystics and devotees in their different, sometimes opposite, approaches, share a commitment for the city and Islam that translates into a social concern for equity and the growth of knowledge. Chapter 5 continues the account of the conversations between the teacher and myself focusing on three ‘ulamâ’ that the teacher considered 8 Introduction: city of knowledge exemplary representatives of the culture of Shiraz. The teacher is commit ted to offer a balanced account of the activ ities of the three scholars. This implies adjusting the historical record so that it can speak the truth. However, this truth is itself embroiled in our relationship and in the car tography we have delineated. While existentially and politically more grounded than its public counterpart, the fragmented history of Shiraz as city of knowledge that the teacher and I set out to outline brought to the fore the past and present tensions that underline it and exhibited a differ ent but no less resilient form of editing. Chapter 6 goes back to the streets of Shiraz to reflect on the ways in which the different forms of knowledge discussed up to this point in the book are constitutive of an existential ground of recog nition. Previous chapters analyzed forms of knowledge in relations to techniques of power by considering their public genealogy, and by interrogating ethnographi cally the tensions in their making. In this final chapter my primary concern is to reflect on the relationships between forms of knowledge and processes of subject formation. Using both history and ethnography, I consider the different ways in which discourses of history and poetry circulate among professional histor ians and people who frequent local bookstores and poetry gatherings. I show that history and poetry are experienced as having differential truth-value in evoking Shiraz as city of knowledge and thus provide different articulations of the conjuncture of knowledge, power and self-formation. As opposed to history, perceived as split between unsatisfactory available narratives and a desired “complete” history that would tell things as they were, poetry is felt to deliver a more resonant recognition of the past. Unbound by the mandate to tell things as they were and incorporating its own practices of editing, poetry is perceived as working through allusions and innuendos to speak the unspeakable and thus make public what cannot otherwise be revealed in the face of censorship. This makes poetry the ground for existential recognition and the hegemonic formation of Shiraz as city of knowledge. Uniquely iden tified with Shiraz and valorized on the field of culture, poetry comes to stand for Iran and, more than either nation or religion, is its ideological kernel.
Editing Shiraz A concern with the inclusions and exclusions that shape the production of knowledge runs through the book. In the analysis of editing in Chapter 3, in my conversations with the teacher in Chapters 4 and 5, as well as in the examination of the differ ences between history and poetry in Chapter 6, I attend to the ways in which forms of knowledge articulate in relation to a dialectic between what is exhibited and what is omitted, what is made public and what is made secret. This dialectic is in many ways central to the process of knowledge pro duction itself. Forms of knowledge both impinge on and are configured in Introduction: city of knowledge 9 relation to the movement between making public and making secret. Technologies of power articulate at the juncture of this selective process in a variety of ways (Stoler 2009; Taussig 1999; Trouillot 1995). Processes of subject formation are intrinsically connected to the dialectic between public and private, between exteriority and interiority (Arendt 1958; Foucault 1997). However, in relation to Iran, the dialec tic between exhibiting and secreting has been projected into a paradigmatic bifurcation that is deployed as an interpretative matrix to make sense of the country and its people as a whole. It is a bifurcation that posits two parallel dimensions of social reality and links them analogically: surface/depth, outside/inside, lie/truth. It uses these analogical parallels to compose a social pathology of Iran as either a schizophrenic country or as an idiosyncratic culture that cultivates contradic tions and is addicted to lying. One of the tasks of the present book is to take distance from this bifur cation while recognizing its productivity. Simply dismissing it would not account for the ways in which it operates in forms of knowledge, tech niques of power and processes of subject formation in Iran and elsewhere. City of Knowledge aims to undo this bifurcation by a twofold move. On the one hand, the book investigates the construction of this bifurcation in public forms, private conversations and discursive genres and analyzes its making as contingent. On the other hand, by strategically foregrounding the expressive possibilities that editing and other forms of elusion offer, the book invites to reflect on the entailments of the process of knowing itself. From this perspective poetry exhibits a particular potency, by defer ring closed referentiality and making language itself “inoperative” (Agamben 2009a). The dialectic between making public and folding into silence is at work in the book itself. Given its scope and aim, City of Knowledge focuses on par ticular events and people that I have selected among many as exemplary of the making of Shiraz as city of knowledge. I have chosen people and events as encapsulating aspects of the relationship between forms of know ledge, techniques of power and processes of subject formation. The book is not meant to be a comprehensive history of Shiraz. The book does not engage sufficiently two of the major erasures in twentieth century configurations of Shiraz as city ofledge, know namely the histories of so-called minorities and more specifically Jews and Bahâ’î. In Shiraz there has been for centuries a large Jewish commun ity that parti cipated in different ways in the life of the city while also being persecuted (Loeb 1977). Since the revolution of 1979 there has been an increased migration of Jews from Iran and Jews have suffered discrimination in par ticular in relation to accusations of spying. In Shiraz thirteen Jews were arrested in 2000 and sentenced to several years in prison. The commun ity is however still active and it is sometimes the object of media reports and TV documentaries that describe its delicate equilibrium between an 10 Introduction: city of knowledge attachment to Iran as homeland and the fissure between Iran and Israel. Though some of the brochures and booklets produced by the cultural institutions in the city mention synagogues, the contribution of the Jewish community to the life of the city is mostly ignored in the official articula tions of the city of knowledge and often in the altern ative oppositional ver sions as well. My focus, my competence and the conditions of my fieldwork did not allow me to learn more about the commun ity and its participa tion in the construction of Shiraz as city of knowledge. As a token of a territory that remains mostly unexplored, one should quote at least the poems of Mawlana Shahîn Shîrâzî, a fourteenth century poet who composed several epic poems in Judeo-Persian (Persian written in Hebrew script) in the style of Firdawsî’s Shâhnâma.14 Even more silenced are Bahâ’î who, unlike Jews, are not recognized as a religious minority by the Islamic Republic. Shiraz was the birthplace and residence of the Bâb, a young Shirazi merchant who in 1844 declared pub licly that he was the announcer of a new prophet. He quickly gained a con siderable follow ing, was arrested and eventually executed, while many of his followers were killed. One of his followers eventually became the pro ponent of the new Bahâ’î faith. During the twentieth century in Shiraz as elsewhere in Iran, Bahâ’î suffered persecution. During the revolutionary movement of 1979 their houses were looted. Soon after the revolution their center was taken over. The house of the Bâb that had already been attacked several times in previous decades was demolished. Bahâ’î were arrested and executed (Roohizadegan [1993] 2001). Arrests continue to this day. This history is silenced in accounts of a city of knowledge, or turned into a series of particularly virulent accusations against the Bahâ’î, used in political speeches to channel emotions and anger. Numerous studies have underlined how Bâbî and Bahâ’î are in differ ent ways constitutive of the present of Iran, or, as some put it, of “Iranian modernity.”15 Their continued violent repression constructed them as something foreign. They have been the other against which and through which trajectories of nationalism and Islamism came to constitute them selves. I will make refer ence to the Bâbî and Bahâ’î in Chapter 5 during my account of my exchanges with the teacher, but the book does not investigate in enough detail their place in a city of knowledge. Making all these events public and studying them in more depth will reconfigure the city of knowledge but it will not relinquish the question of editing. Making things public will instead make editing even more relev ant, as debates and questions about rewriting history have shown. Rather, the fact that, notwithstanding these persecutions, Jews, Bahâ’î as well as other people who have been mostly ousted by the present configurations of knowledge, at least in their more public forms, are living in Shiraz and actively participating in the life of the city is to me an indica tion that there exist future unknown possibil ities and that “making things public” does not always corres pond to a redemption of past injustice.
