Childhood in Qajar Iran / Mahdavi, Shireen   Journal Article
Mahdavi, Shireen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The history of children in general and that of Persian children in particular is that of the inarticulate. The social history of Iran is a neglected field although in recent decades a preponderance of material has appeared on the history of women. Aside from this no work has been undertaken on the private life of the period including childhood and family life. This article examines various aspects of the position and upbringing of children in Qajar Iran ranging from the rearing of children to their status in the family, discipline, amusements and education. This investigation attempts to cover the childhood of different sexes and social classes both in rural and urban areas. The discussion is limited to Shi'i children, the majority population of Iran.

Ethno-national and local dimensions in the historiography of Ka / Kamalov, Ablet   Journal Article
Kamalov, Ablet Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the changing relationship between ethno-national and local narratives in the historiography of Kazakhstan's Uyghurs through the parallel analysis of general and local histories compiled in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. Uyghur history writing in the post-Soviet period is discussed in relation to the divided loyalty of the Uyghur community: while interest in writing ethno-nationalist histories is based on the growing feeling of being a part of the broad, transnational category of the Uyghur, deep attachment to the Semirech'e region is expressed in the emerging histories of Uyghur villages and neighbourhoods. In analysing the local histories of Kazakhstani Uyghurs in the post-Soviet period, the author focuses on the gradual transition from Soviet-style local histories praising the uniqueness of the 'Soviet' Uyghurs to new local histories emerging 'from below' as exemplified by the history of the Sultanqorghan neighbourhood of Almaty.

Visions of Muhammad in Bukhara and Tabaristan: dreams and their uses in Persian local histories / Hanaoka, Mimi   Journal Article
Hanaoka, Mimi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Persian authors couched claims to the religio-political authority and legitimacy of their cities through dream narratives in local histories written between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. Persians did not always fit neatly into genealogical claims to legitimacy like the Arab descendants of Mu?ammad and his clan, and dreams form alternate avenues that sanctify and legitimate specific Persian cities and individuals. Dream narratives embedded in T?r?kh-i Bukh?r? and T?r?kh-i ?abarist?n are literary devices that bring the prestige of religious authority to their city and province and to specific persons. These dream narratives are not only windows into understanding the broader social, political, and religious contexts of local histories but also the particular anxieties and priorities of the authors.
