The North Caucasus in the Second Half of the Sixteenth Century: Imperial Entanglements and Shifting LoyaltiesYasar, Murat 20 November 2013 (has links)
The present dissertation seeks to present and analyze the hitherto poorly understood first encounter between the Ottoman Empire and the Tsardom of Muscovy in the North Caucasus from the Muscovites’ annexation of the nearby Khanate of Astrakhan in 1556 and subsequent penetration into this region, to their expulsion from it by the Ottomans in 1605. The study relies on both Ottoman and Muscovite sources, both documentary and narrative, as well as archival and published. The main archival documentary sources are the Ottoman mühimme defters (registers of orders issued by the Imperial Council [Divan-i Hümayun]) and the Muscovite posol’skie knigi (registers of diplomatic documentation, including ambassadorial reports, diplomatic correspondence, and other documents administered by the Ambassadorial Office [Posol’skii Prikaz]). The main narrative sources are sixteenth-century Ottoman and Muscovite chronicles. On the basis of the Ottoman and Muscovite documentary sources it is possible to determine what Ottoman and Muscovite policies in the North Caucasus were, to what degree they were well-formulated, and how they evolved during the aforementioned time period. It becomes clear that Ottoman and Muscovite policies in the Pontic-Caspian steppes and specifically in the North Caucasus had some superficial similarities, but were in essence fundamentally different. Taking into account that it was only after Muscovy’s expansion into the North Caucasus that the Ottomans decided to take an active stand in the north, the dissertation also shows the ways in which Muscovite steppe policy not only affected the political structures on the frontiers but also influenced Ottoman northern policy, and specifically in the North Caucasus. However, this dissertation is not solely a study of an imperial rivalry in a contested frontier zone. The Ottoman and Muscovite involvement brought about changes to the internal dynamics of the polities within the North Caucasus. Lastly, during the first round of this imperial clash, Ottoman and Muscovite presence and sway in the North Caucasus underwent several extreme and unexpected shifts. These shifts and resulting new strategies that the Ottomans and Muscovites had to develop in the North Caucasus played an important role in their future encounters in the northern Black Sea region.

La monarchie safavide et la modernité européenne (XVIe-XVIIe siècles) / Safavid Persia and European modernity (16th-17th centuries)Chabrier, Aurélie 30 November 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur la formation et l’évolution de la monarchie safavide en Iran entre le XVIe et le premier quart du XVIIIe siècle. Elle étudie en particulier les rapports entretenus entre le pouvoir monarchique et les différents groupes qui composent le sommet de la hiérarchie sociale et curiale, comme les clientèles qizilbashs. L’avènement de la monarchie safavide étant contemporain de la montée en puissance des États modernes en Europe, cette recherche s’intéresse également au regard que l’« honnête homme » du XVIIe siècle porte sur ce processus de construction étatique. Cette approche est fondée sur l’analyse du cadre des échanges diplomatiques entre États, mais aussi sur la rencontre individuelle entre les Européens et les représentants de l’élite safavide, à travers une étude des récits de voyageurs (relations d’ambassade et de voyage). Elle invite à réfléchir sur la manière dont s’élabore la réflexion sur l’État moderne et sur les comportements qui s’y rapportent. / This thesis is about the start and the evolution of the Safavid Monarchy in Iran between the 16th century and the first quarter of the 18th century. It studies, in particular, the links between the monarchial power and the different groups at the head of the social and parish hierarchy, such as the qizilbash followers. Given the fact that the advent of the Safavid Monarchy is contemporary with the rise of the Modern States in Europe, this research also studies the point of view of the « good man » of the 17th century about this process of state construction. This approach is based on the context analysis of the diplomatic exchanges between the States, but also of the individual meeting between the European and the Safavid elite representatives, throughout the study of stories of travelers (embassy and travel relations). This study is an invitation to think about the way the Modern State and its behavior reflection are built.

TheIranian Nexus: Peace as a Substantive and Complex Value in the History of IranBigonah, Siavosh January 2017 (has links)
This study explores Iran’s political and cultural history in order to better understand the country’s current stance on international politics and peace. This study asks: what defines peace in Iranian discourse? To this end, this thesis employs a Foucauldian archaeological and genealogical methodology on historical research and contemporary primary sources. The historical data is mainly secondary sources, whilst primary sources are drawn from contemporary speeches, interviews and articles presenting Iranian foreign political thought. First of all, this study uncovers the major research gaps concerning Iran in peace research. This speaks to the general lack of diversity and inclusiveness in the subject of Peace and Conflict studies, which is contrary to its claim of being universally relevant. Relevance comes with knowledge of other traditions and conversations across divides, which is typically absent in a universalised provincialism. Secondly, contemporary Iranian political discourse represents a continuity from antiquity, incorporating deep-rooted practises of cosmopolitanism and structural peace, represented by 4000-years of experiences in state-building, conflict management, continuous movement of people and changing centres of political power. In short, Iran has a long experience of multi-polarity, multi-ethnicity and multi-religiosity across time and space.

The aesthetics of sppropriation : Ghalib's Persian Ghazal poetry and its criticsBruce, Gregory Maxwell 28 October 2010 (has links)
This thesis examines the Persian ghazal poetry of Mirza Ghalib. It does so in the light of the corpus of critical literature in Urdu, Persian, and English that concerns both the poetry of Ghalib as well as the poetry of the so-called “Indian Style” of Persian poetry. Poems by Ghalib and his literary forebears, including Fighani, Naziri, ‘Urfi, Zuhuri, Sa’ib, and Bedil are offered in translation; critical commentary follows each text. The thesis explicates the ways in which each of these authors engaged in an intertextual dialogue, here called javaab-go’ii, or appropriative response-writing, with his forebears, and argues that the dynamics of this intertextual dialogue contribute significantly to the poetry’s aesthetics. These “aesthetics of appropriation” are discussed, analyzed, and evaluated both in the light of Ghalib’s writings on literary influence and Persian poetics, as well as in the light of the aforementioned corpus of critical literature. / text

La peinture de fleurs persane et indienne de la période moderne (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles) / Persian and Indian Flower Paintings during the pre-modern Era (16th-18th centuries)Imbert, Isabelle 04 December 2015 (has links)
Le présent travail porte sur les peintures de fleurs produites en Iran et en Inde entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècles et destinées à être montées dans des albums alliant peintures et calligraphies. Cette étude s'organise autour de trois axes de recherche. En premier lieu, l'étude de l'évolution des pratiques picturales au sein des ateliers de peinture, ainsi que la mise en évidence des différences formelles entre les centres de production. La taxonomie des peintures de fleurs a permis de mettre en évidence certains régionalismes, mais également des modes de représentation partagés entre l'Iran safavide (1501-1722), afshar (1736-1749) et zānd (1750-1794) d'un côté, et l'Inde moghole (1526-1857) et les cours provinciales de l'autre. Le second axe de recherche est consacré aux échanges entre l'Orient et l'Occident. Plusieurs peintures de fleurs persanes et indiennes sont issues d'herbiers et florilèges, imprimés en Europe à partir du XVe siècle. L'étude de l'apport européen dans ces productions de peintures permet de mettre en évidence les pratiques d'assimilation des formes exogènes par les artistes. Enfin, le troisième axe interroge le rôle tenu par les peintures de fleurs au sein des albums, ou muraqqaʻ. La compilation d'albums est attestée en Iran dès le XVe siècle, et passe vraisemblablement en Inde durant la première moitié du XVIe siècle. Les fleurs s'y déploient progressivement jusqu'à devenir omniprésentes, autant au centre des pages que dans les marges et sur les reliures. Les représentations florales revêtent des symboliques diverses qui sont à mettre en relation avec un abondant corpus poétique, mais également avec les patrons persans, indiens ou européens qui commandent ces précieux volumes. Parmi les conclusions, notons les attributions de dessins anonymes au peintre persan Shafīʻ ʻAbbāsī et une discussion sur les notions de copie et d'interprétation. / This dissertation focuses on flower paintings produced in Persia and India between the 16th and the 18th centuries to be mounted in albums, also called muraqqa'. This study is centered on three research axis. First, pictorial practices are analyzed, as well as the general evolution of floral forms on album pages. The taxonomic approach on flower paintings led to highlight regionalisms, but also depiction modes shared between Safavid (1501-1722), Afsharid (1736-1749) and Zand (1750-1794) Persia on one hand, and Mughal India (1526-1857) and Indian provincial courts on the other. The second line of research focuses on cultural and artistic exchanges between the East and the West. Many Persian and Indian flower paintings are copied from European printed herbaria and florilegia from the 15th century. The study of European input on these productions highlights assimilation practices of foreign forms. The third axis questions the role held by flower paintings in albums, or muraqqa'. From the 15th century, flowers gradually spread to become omnipresent in the center of the pages, in the margins and on the bindings. Floral representations take various symbolic values linked to an abundant poetic corpus, but also to Persian, Indian or European patrons who order these precious volumes. Among the conclusions, this thesis suggests new attributions of anonymous drawings to the Persian painter Shafīʻ ʻAbbāsī, and holds a discussion about concepts of copy and assimilation.

Le Farangi sāzi et les peintures de Ἁli Qoli Jebādār : Un syncrétisme artistique sous Shāh Soleymān (1666-1694) / The Farangi sāzi and the paintings of Ali Qoli Jebādār : An artistic syncretism under Shah Soleymān (1666-1694)¿Habibi, Negar 08 December 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse a deux préoccupations principales : la présentation des peintures communément nommées farangi sāzi, et la carrière de l'artiste Ἁli Qoli Jebādār. Littéralement « faire » ou « construire » « à la manière européenne », l'expression peintures farangi sāzi désigne certaines productions de la peinture iranienne datant de la fin du XVIIe siècle. Ces peintures emploient visiblement les techniques du clair-obscur et de la perspective, et représentent de nouvelles scènes qui ne s'appuient pas toujours sur la littérature classique iranienne. Il semblerait cependant que le qualificatif du farangi sāzi s'agisse d'une expression orale assez flexible qui pourrait avoir été appliquée à plusieurs activités non associées à la tradition artisanale iranienne. Ces peintures ont été réalisées en majorité sous le règne de Shāh Soleymān (1666-1694). On a donc souligné l'existence d'une dualité entre les courtisans et l'entourage proche du shāh ou son sérail, au sein du pouvoir safavide à cette époque. Bien qu'il n'existe pas de trace écrite sur le patronage artistique de la Maison du roi, on a essayé d'indiquer la piste possible d'un mécénat de cette Maison royale. La deuxième partie de la thèse a été consacrée à Ἁli Qoli Jebādār et à la question de ses signatures, ses peintures, et aux modalités de sa carrière en général. Ainsi, on a souligné les points les plus emblématiques de la littérature concernant l'artiste et on a étudié les structures visuelles et théoriques de ses peintures. Dans la dernière partie, on a émis de nouvelles hypothèses sur la carrière et les origines incertaines de Ἁli Qoli Jebādār. / This thesis has two main concerns: the presentation of commonly named Farangi Sazi paintings, and Ἁli Qoli Jebādār artistic career. Literally "make" or "build" in "the European manner", this term refers to some productions of the Iranian painting dating from the late 17th century. These paintings use visibly chiaroscuro and perspective, and show new scenes which do not always rely on Iranian classical literature. It seems however, that the expression of Farangi Sazi is a fairly flexible oral one, which could have been applied to several activities not associated with the Iranian craft tradition.These paintings were done mostly during the reign of Shah Soleiman (1666-1694), where existed a duality between the courtiers and the household of the Shah. Although there is no written evidence on the artistic patronage of the Royal household, we tried to indicate its possible track.The second part of the thesis was devoted to Ἁli Qoli Jebādār and the question of his signatures, his paintings, and the terms of his career in general. Thus, the most emblematic points of the literature about the artist have been stressed out. We have also studied the visual and theoretical structures of his paintings. In the last part, we issued new assumptions about career and uncertain origins of Ἁli Qoli Jebādār.

Elixir dos Gnósticos: a existência da alma humana em Mullā Ṣadrā / The Elixir of the Gnostics: the existence of the human soul in Mullā ṢadrāAlves, Nathalia Novaes 16 October 2014 (has links)
Figura-chave da chamada \"Escola de Isfahān\", Mullā Ṣadrā (979 H. / 1571-2 d.C ) ocupou papel de destaque durante a renascença safávida do reinado de Abbās I (d. 1039/1629). Acredita-se ter sido ele o principal responsável por revitalizar a filosofia da iluminação de Sūhrawardi naquele contexto, além de consolidar a junção entre sufismo e neoplatonismo. Foi responsável, ainda, pela elaboração de metodologia própria para a compreensão da realidade, tendo por base fontes filosóficas, teológicas e místicas, além de mesclar raciocínio lógico, inspiração espiritual e meditação profunda. Ṣadrā aplicou tal metodologia às principais obras da tradição xiita duodécima. Do ponto de vista filosófico, Ṣadrā percebe o conceito aristotélico de \"substância\" como processo, em constante mudança; nesse aspecto, o filósofo aproxima-se da leitura de traço neoplatônico, já presente em al-Fārābī e Ibn Sīnā. O modo como Ṣadrā relaciona as noções de \"essência\" e \"existência\" deu novas feições à discussão metafísica de tradição árabe-islâmica. Em sua doutrina, Ṣadrā acaba por transformar a metafísica construída a partir da primazia das substâncias, como elemento primordial da existência, em outra, fundada e movida por atos de existência. Apesar de perpassar esses e outros temas, a principal contribuição d\'O Elixir dos Gnósticos diz respeito à ênfase do autor no autoconhecimento. Como Ibn Ἁrabī, Ṣadrā acredita que o conhecimento da alma / nafs - ou seja, o conhecimento de si mesmo - e o conhecimento de Deus estão interligados. Por esse motivo, o presente trabalho se preocupou principalmente em analisar a relação entre os existentes, a alma e a inteligência primeira, pois é a partir dessa relação que se tornar possível vislumbrar e compreender as questões fundamentais da origem e do retorno à fonte doadora de existência. Do ponto de vista histórico, vale destacar que à fundação do império safávida acompanhou-se a conversão em massa da população ao xiismo. Para responder à demanda por instrução da multidão de novos convertidos - e igualmente firmar as bases da nova religião oficial -, grande número de religiosos foi trazido de áreas xiitas respeitadas pela doutrina e pela ortodoxia, tais como Líbano e Iraque. Esse clero árabe recém chegado, que teve Ṣadrā como herdeiro, foi responsável por incorporar novos elementos ao pensamento religioso vigente em terras persas e, assim, conformar ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento do pensamento filosófico de Ṣadrā. / Prominent figure of the \"Isfahān School\", Mullā Ṣadrā (979 H. / 1571-2 AD) had an important role during the Safavid renaissance in the reign of Abbās I (d. 1039/1629). He is believed to be the main responsible for the revitalization of the philosophy of illumination of Sūhrawardi in that context, as well as for the consolidation of the junction between Sufism and Neoplatonism. He also developed his own methodology for the comprehension of the reality, based on philosophical, theological and mystics\' sources, and which puts together logical reasoning, spiritual inspiration and deep meditation. Ṣadrā applied his methodology to the then major works of the Twelver Shi\'ism tradition. From the philosophical point of view Ṣadrā perceives the Aristotelian concept of \"substance\" as a process in constant change; in this regard the philosopher comes nearer to the Neoplatonic ideas instead, as did al-Fārābī and Ibn Sīnā. The way Ṣadrā relates the notion of \"essence\" and \"existence\" added new features to the metaphysical discussions in Arabic and Islamic philosophical tradition. In his doctrine, Ṣadrā ends up transforming the metaphysics built upon the primacy of substances as the primordial element of existence, in another one based on and moved by acts of existence. The most important contribution of The Elixir of the Gnostics however is the emphasis of the author on self-knowledge. As Ibn Ἁrabī, Ṣadrā believes that the knowledge of the soul / nafs - in other words, the knowledge of the self - and the knowledge of God are interconnected. For this reason the present work is more concerned in analyzing the relation between existents, soul, and the first intelligence, from which it is possible to comprehend the fundamental issues of the origin and the return to the donor source of existence. From the historical point of view, it is worthy to highlight that the establishment of the Safavid Empire resulted in the mass conversion of the Persians into Shi\'ism. In order to respond to the increasing demand for religious instruction - and also to stabilize the basis for the new official religion - a great number of clerics was brought from Shiite areas recognized for their doctrine and orthodoxy, such as Lebanon and Iraq. This newcomer Arab clergy was responsible for incorporating new elements to the existing religious thought in Persian lands, and for creating a propitious context for the development of Ṣadrā\'s philosophical thought.

Approche comparative des systèmes musicaux classiques persan et turc : origines, devenirs et enjeux / Comparative approach to persian and turkish classical music systems : origins, becoming and issuesMohafez, Arash 14 October 2016 (has links)
La thèse présente étudie de façon exclusive quelques aspects fondamentaux des liens entre la musique classique persane et la musique classique turco-ottomane. Le premier chapitre est une esquisse des liens historiques des musiciens persans avec le milieu culturel ottoman, et l'influence qu'ils ont eue sur la musique classique de cet empire. Le second chapitre dégage des liens entre certains aspects du répertoire instrumental attribué aux compositeurs persans des XVIe et XVIIe siècles dans les manuscrits ottomans d’Ufki et de Cantemir avec ceux du répertoire classique persan le plus ancien transmis jusqu'à nos jours ; le répertoire qâjâr. Sous l’angle des convergences et divergences des écoles classiques persane et turque contemporaines, le troisième chapitre se focalise sur le concept fondamental de mode et entreprend de comparer les particularités de cinq éléments constitutifs modaux dans les pratiques turque et persane actuelles. Le quatrième chapitre, en vue d'une démonstration concrète des théories modales développées dans le chapitre précédant, analyse des affinités et des divergences de cinq maqâms turcs actuels d’une même famille modale, Ushshak, Beyati, Huseyni, Muhayyer, Arazbâr, dont la substance est comparable dans la tradition persane actuelle, soit Shur, Abu ‘atâ, Hoseyni/Bayât-e Kord/Hejâz/Dashti, Owj, et Shahnâz. Le dernier chapitre est une approche anthropologique destiné à présenter une tentative concrète de revivification du répertoire des « ‘Ajamlar » dans les milieux des musiciens iraniens contemporains, et à étudier les réactions de ces derniers faces à ce répertoire inconnu en Iran tiré des sources ottomanes. / This thesis studies exclusively some fundamental aspects of the links between the Persian classical music and the Turkish-Ottoman classical music. The first chapter is an outline of historical connections of Persian musicians with the Ottoman cultural environment, and the influence which they have had on the classical music of this empire. The second chapter identifies the links between some aspects of the instrumental repertory attributed to Persians composers of 16th and 17th centuries in Ufki and Cantemir’s Ottoman manuscripts and those of the oldest Persian classical music transmitted to our days; the qâjâr repertory. From the angle of convergences and divergences between contemporary the Persian and the Turkish classical schools, the third chapter focuses on the fundamental concept of mode and undertakes to compare the particularities of five modal constituent elements in the current Turkish and Persian practices. The fourth chapter, with a view to concrete demonstration of modal theories developed in the previous chapter, analyzes the affinities and differences of five current Turkish maqâms of a same modal family, Ushshak, Beyati, Huseyni, Muhayyer, Arazbâr, whose substance is comparable in the current Persian tradition, with Shur, Abu ‘atâ, Hoseyni/Bayât-e Kord/Hejâz/Dashti, Owj, et Shahnâz. The last chapter is an anthropological approach intended to present a concrete attempt to revivification of the “‘Ajamlar” repertory in contemporary Iranian musicians’ circles, and to study the reactions of these latter facing this unknown repertory in Iran taken from the Ottoman sources.
