Paperback. Condition: New. In Erin and Iran, ten essays by North American and European scholars discuss parallel themes in and interactions between Irish and Iranian cultures. In the first section three essays explore common elements in pre-Christian Irish and pre-Islamic Iranian mythologies, common elements that have often been pointed out by scholars of Indo-European mythology but rarely examined in detail. In the following section four essays address literary subjects, ranging from medieval romances such as Tristan and Isolde and Vis and Ramin to twentieth-century novels such as James Joyce's Ulysses and Simin Daneshvar's Savushun. In the last section three nineteenth-century travelogues are presented, two written by Irish travelers to Iran and one written by an Indo-Persian traveler to Ireland. Together, these studies constitute the first-ever collection of articles dealing with cultural encounters between the Irish and the Iranians.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This volume presents several articles and other writings of Sorour S. Soroudi (1938-2002), who taught in the Department of Iranian Studies at the Hebrew University for three decades. Soroudi's research was concentrated in three main areas, all of which are well represented in this collection. First, Soroudi was an early specialist in modern Persian poetry, particularly that of the constitutional era; her studies and translations did much to bring this poetry to the attention of critics and scholars. Second, on the basis of extensive fieldwork as well as literary study, Soroudi contributed greatly to the study of Judeo-Persian literature and folk culture. Third, Soroudi explored the history and culture of Iranian Jewry, which she situated in the larger context of Iranian history. This volume, meticulously and sensitively edited by Houchang E. Chehabi, brings together many of Dr. Soroudi's published articles in these two areas. Included in this book is a previously unpublished piece as well as an article that appears here in English for the first time.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Sultanistic regimes, as Juan Linz describes them, are authoritarian regimes based on personal ideology and personal favor to maintain the autocrat in power; there is little ideological basis for the rule except personal power. This volume of essays studies important sultantistic regimes in the Domanican Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, and the Philippines. Part one contains two comparative essays, which discuss common characteristics of sultanistic regimes, compare them to totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, and trace common patterns for these regimes' rise and fall. Chehabi and Linz argue that sultanistic regimes do not offer favorable transitions to democracy, no matter what the person in power says. Part two applies Linz's model to country studies.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Iran Amplified: One Hundred Years of Music and Society, the first edited volume on music in modern Iran, presents a cross-genre collection of compelling scholarship, musician narratives, and primary sources. This groundbreaking volume, seizing on this burgeoning academic field, offers historiography and critical examination of music's significant role in social and political mediation in Iran spanning the twentieth century. It also investigates central analytical vectors such as Islam, gender, media technology, alterity, transnational flows, and diasporic communities. As demonstrated at critical moments in Iranian history-from the Constitutional Revolution of 1906-1911 to 1960s and 1970s Third-Worldist activism, the 1979 Revolution, the Iran-Iraq War, the 2009 Green Movement, the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom Uprising and beyond-music has played a pivotal role in mediating and expressing social and political discourses. Music has also been significant in coalescing sentiments and subjectivities throughout seemingly quieter periods of nation-building during the Pahlavi era, the post-WWII period of Great Power machinations, the cosmopolitan 1970s era, and the post-war reconstruction period of the 1990s. This timely volume, compiled by two leading readers of Iranian culture, finally affords music its important place in the scholarship of modern Iran. Iran Amplified: One Hundred Years of Music and Society, the first edited volume on music in modern Iran, collects compelling scholarship, musician narratives, and primary sources. It offers historiography and critical examination of musics significant role in social and political discourses in Iran throughout the twentieth century.
