To build bridges across Persian and Iranian Studies programs, scholars from New York University’s Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Department and the Gallatin School (ISI-NYU), Princeton University’s Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies, and the University of Pennsylvania’s Middle East Center announce the Iran Graduate Student Workshop (IGSW). The workshop will provide a valuable venue for academic exchange and production, giving distinguished young scholars of the field an unrivalled opportunity to present and promote their research.
On May 4-5, 2018, the University of Pennsylvania will host the second gathering of this joint workshop, to be followed by similar meetings at the other campuses every two years. This second workshop in 2018 will consist of PhD students that are near ABD status and preparing their dissertation proposals (i.e., typically in their 2nd or 3rd year of graduate work). In addition, the first cohort will participate again, as discussants, in the 2018 workshop, as they approach the end of their graduate work.
Applicants for the second round, in 2018, must focus on modern Iran (roughly 18th-20th centuries), other countries of the Persianate world, or diasporas, or conduct relational histories and comparative work; and will be drawn from disciplines and programs in the humanities and social sciences, including anthropology, art history, economics, history, literature, politics, sociology, and related fields.
Program of the 2017 Yarshater Lectures in Persian Art by Robert McChesney, SO...Encyclopaedia Iranica
The first lecture will introduce the phenomenon of shrines in Central Asian history and then focus on a shrine at Balkh and the way society’s needs shaped its different legacies. The second lecture considers the ways in which a shrine could encourage formaƟ on of an individual tradition of exclusive claim to the shrine and its material benefits and how that tradion on led to the formation of a new city. The third lecture suggests how the meaning of a building conceived to commemorate the glory of an individual and his descendants could be reshaped to legitimize new ideologies and the final lecture considers the sacred space created by a holy artefact and the ways in which its community exploited that space. All the lectures will link the ever-changing architecture to the societal contexts.
Program of the 4th Perso-Indica conference, CEIAS, Paris (France), 8-9 Decemb...Encyclopaedia Iranica
On the occasion of the 4th international conference of the Perso-Indica project (http://www.perso-indica.net/), we would like to consider our main object of research—the Persian translations and original works bearing on Indic cultures—in a wider perspective than has generally been the case. We aim to do so by comparing the Indo-Persian movement of translation that took place in the subcontinent from the 13th century onwards with other processes of translations operating primarily from and to non-Muslim languages (e.g. Greek, Syriac, Pehlevi, Sanskrit into Arabic, etc.; Arabic into Latin; Greek into Ottoman Turkish, etc.) and, secondarily, between different languages of Muslim societies (e. g. Arabic into Persian, Turkish, Malay, Sub-Saharan languages, etc.; Persian into Urdu, Turkish, Malay, etc.). We have therefore invited contributions bearing on such movements of translation in different regions of the Muslim world between the 7th and 19th centuries, and highlighting the ways in which each specific translation process articulated the relation between source, “bridge” and target languages.

Program and abstracts, conference on "Fatimids and Umayyads: Competing Caliph...Encyclopaedia Iranica
Relations between the Fatimid caliphate and its neighbour and opponent, the Umayyad caliphate of al-Andalus constitute a field of study that merits careful and extensive consideration. Scholarship has tended to study both dynasties separately and the existing entanglements between the two caliphates have been noted, albeit briefly, in a number of academic publications.
The project Fatimids and Umayyads: Competing Caliphates endeavours to place both dynasties in context by creating an academic forum in which to reflect upon and illustrate the processes and mechanisms of interaction, and also to explore and problematise the existence of crosspollination. Various scenarios (historical, social, intellectual, economic, legal, theological, religious, cultural, technical, visual, and artistic) are considered in order to assess affinities, as well as discrepancies, connections and contrasts with regard to how these shaped the Fatimid impact on Umayyad dominions and vice versa.

Call for abstracts, international conference on "Environmental Approaches in ...Encyclopaedia Iranica
This international conference is meant to be a forum for exchange of ideas about environmental history, and methods and theories, by scholars engaged in the study of the pre-modern Islamic world. Papers from the fields of history, historical geography, archaeology and art history, natural sciences, and historical anthropology are most welcome, as well as studies of a more theoretical (bust historically grounded) nature. We welcome the participation of doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars, as well as senior scholars. The chronological coverage is the period of the Islamic Conquests until the early nineteenth-century (pre-Tanzimat), with a geographical coverage of all regions of the world under the control of an Islamic regime. While our focus remains the Mamluk (and the larger “Middle Islamic”) period of the 13th-16th centuries and the territories of the Mamluk state – and while we aim to promote environmental lines of inquiry in Mamluk Studies – this conference encourages transregional and comparative approaches and particularly welcomes papers from Ottoman Studies.

Au moment où l’Iran semble à un moment charnière de sa position internationale (reprise du
dialogue avec les principales puissances mondiales), il est temps de revenir sur la manière dont
les conséquences des sanctions économiques ont recomposé la diaspora et les mouvements
migratoires régionaux.
La stratification historique de la diaspora explique son hétérogénéité. Dès les années 1960, avec
les revenus perçus par l’exportation du pétrole et l’application d’une série de réformes de
modernisation, la société iranienne a assisté à l’émergence de riches familles urbaines qui ont
commencé à voyager à l’extérieur de l’Iran et notamment en Occident et à y envoyer leurs
enfants pour leur éducation supérieure.
Avec l’avènement de la révolution en 1979, une grande partie des étudiants partis à l’étranger
est restée dans le pays d’étude et d’autres membres de leur famille les ont rejoints en raison de
leur proximité avec la monarchie de l’ancien régime ou de leur implication dans l’armée. A ces
émigrés, se sont rajoutés progressivement les sympathisants d’autres mouvements politiq ues
qui avaient participé à la révolution mais qui en ont été rapidement exclus avec la consolidat ion
du pouvoir autour de l’Ayatollah Khomeiny et des mouvements islamistes qui ont adhéré à
l’idéologie du Guide. Depuis, la présence de l’opposition iranienne (ou plutôt des oppositions)
à l’étranger n’a pas arrêté de se recomposer et elle est aujourd’hui plus que jamais diverse et
mouvante.
Les trajectoires se sont diversifiées, elles ne s’orientent plus exclusivement vers l’Amérique du
nord et l’Europe mais de nouvelles destinations émergent, en particulier en Asie. Les
mouvements récents sont constitués de personnes qualifiées, d’entrepreneurs, d’universita ires
et d’étudiants représentant des classes moyennes assez nombreuses. En particulier, les artistes
iraniens participent intensément aux réflexions sur les expériences migratoires. Les départs
mais aussi les retours et les voyages prennent de multiples formes et contribuent à la formation
2. de cette iranité off-shore des mille et une frontières de l’Iran que décrit Fariba Adelkhah dans
son dernier ouvrage.
On assiste également à l’intensification des mouvements transfrontaliers beaucoup plus anciens
des populations des périphéries iraniennes vers des territoires proches. Inversement, l’Iran est
aussi un pays d’immigration pour le voisinage notamment pour l’Afghanistan et l’Irak.
Même si la politique du gouvernement iranien reste ambiguë à l’égard de sa diaspora, il n’en
demeure pas moins que le fait migratoire a renforcé son rayonnement régional et sa participat ion
à la mondialisation ; ce qui fait d’elle une puissance diasporique.
Thèmes possibles non limitatifs :
Approche historique de la diaspora.
Dynamiques locales et régionales des migrations à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de l’Iran.
Retours et politique diasporique de l’Etat iranien depuis 1979
Nouvelles formes de mobilités et de cosmopolitismes (artistes, entrepreneurs, diplômés,
étudiants etc).
Iran, a diasporic power ?
Now that, with the resumption of dialogue with the major powers, Iran seems to be at a turning-point
in its international situation, it is time to take a fresh look at how the consequences of
economic sanctions have recomposed the diaspora and regional migratory movements.
The historical stratification of the diaspora explains its heterogeneity. In the 1960s, with
revenues from oil exports and a series of reforms aimed at modernisation, Iranian society saw
the rise of rich urban families who started to travel outside Iran, in the West in particular, and
send their children there for higher education.
Following the 1979 revolution, a significant portion of students living abroad stayed in the
country they were studying in, while other family members joined them on account of their
proximity to the former monarchy or their involvement in the army. They were gradually
followed by the sympathisers of other political movements that had participated in the
revolution but were rapidly excluded, as power consolidated around Ayatollah Khomeini and
Islamist movements faithful to the Supreme Leader’s ideology. Since then, the presence of the
Iranian opposition (or rather, oppositions) abroad has been in constant flux; today it is more
diverse and shifting than ever.
The trajectories followed have diversified; they are no longer exclusively oriented towards
North America and Europe, but also towards newly-emerging destinations, especially in Asia.
Recent migrations have been made up of quite numerous representatives of the middle classes:
3. qualified personnel, entrepreneurs, academics and students. In particular, Iranian artists are
playing an intense part in reflections on the migratory experience. Departures, but also returns
and travel in-between are of multiple kinds and contribute to the formation of the “off-shore
Iranian-ness” and the “thousand-and-one frontiers of Iran” described in her latest work by
Fariba Adelkhah.
We are also witnessing the modification of the much older-established cross-border movements
of people living on Iran’s peripheries towards territories nearby.
Even if Iranian government policy with regard to its diaspora remains ambiguous, there is no
doubt that migration has strengthened its regional influence and its participation on
globalisation, making it a diasporic power. This issue will emphasise on the study of the Iranian
diasporic policies through the following research themes:
Suggestion for topics:
Historical approach of the diaspora
Local and regional dynamics of migration within and outside Iran.
Returnees and Iranian State policy towards the diaspora since 1979
Emerging forms of mobility and cosmopolitanism (artists, entrepreneurs, skilled
migration, students, etc.)
