Die vorliegende Schrift "Die Islamische Republik Iran" erwächst aus der Durchführung sowie der Vor- und Nachbereitung einer Studienreise von Studenten in den Iran. Im Herbst 2004 reist die Gruppe nach Teheran und lernt neben den dem Alborz-Gebirge und der Kaspi-Region auch die Städte Shiraz, Persepolis, Yazd und Esfahan kennen. In acht Einzelbeiträgen vermitteln die Studenten unter dem Eindruck des selbst Gesehenen und Erlebten und in der Literatur Erarbeiteten einen Überblick zum politisch-administrativen System der Islamischen Republik Iran, zur Wirtschaft, zur Bevölkerungsentwicklung, zur Stadtstruktur im islamischen Orient und in der Hauptstadt, zur Migration im Zusammenhang mit dem Iran-Irak-Krieg, zur Binnenwanderung sowie zu ausgewählten Aspekten der Außenpolitik.

Virtually from the outset of the 1978--79 Islamic Revolution in Iran, scholars began to study the event from different social, political and economic angles. Yet, the rapid speed of the Revolution, its predominantly Islamic character, and the numerous changes that have occurred during the last nineteen years remain sources of mystery to many students of this area. The goals and philosophy of education and its relation to the basic foundations of the Revolution is one issue however that has been given less consideration. / This thesis is an attempt to identify and study the cultural foundations and those religious values underlying the educational system of today's Iran. The study examines some of the elementary school textbooks from both the Pahlavi and Islamic Republic eras, contrasting Pahlavi educational policy, which tended towards secularization, Westernization and de-Islamization of the country, with the attempt of the Islamic Republic to Islamize all aspects of society, including schools. The study especially looks at the relation between Islamic culture, religion and the curriculum. The study stresses that school plays a fundamental role in the Islamization of the post-Revolutionary Iranian society. How one defines Islamization, however, is crucial. This concept is clarified through a scrutiny of the process of Islamization visible in textbook reform by focusing on the spiritual, moral, social and political values in some school texts.

As the hereditary leader of the Safavid Sufi Order, Shah Ismail founded the Safavid dynasty in 1501. This study goes beyond Shah Ismail's historical legacy, however, to examine the pious and literary sources which have shaped a permanent place for him within the Alevi-Bektashi community, an Islamic sectarian minority in Turkey. / Although Shah Ismail has received extensive treatment in both historical chronicles and modern historiography, this dissertation locates the development of his cult in the legendary versions of his life story. In this respect, the Turkish "Minstrel Tale" (hikaye) is fundamental to the transformation of Shah Ismail's significance in the sectarian context. This dissertation also traces the development of his pious significance through both the "authentic" poetic works of Shah Ismail, as contained in his earliest collections of poetry, as well as the poetry attributed to Shah Ismail by the Alevi-Bektashi. It is further demonstrated how the poetry attributed to Shah Ismail is integrated into ritual structures. Through the examination of these disparate literary genres, this thesis accounts for Shah Ismail's legacy as it transformed and endured within a pious context beyond his lifetime and beyond his empire.
