The martyrs of Karbala :
Aghaie, Kamran Scot.
The martyrs of Karbala : Shi'i symbols and rituals in modern Iran / Kamran Scot Aghaie. - 1st ed. - Seattle ; London : University of Washington Press, 2004. - 1 online resource (xvi, 200 pages) : color illustrations, maps. - Publications on the Near East . - Publications on the Near East, University of Washington. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-193) and index.
A brief historical background of Shi'ism and Moharram -- The Qajar elites and religious patronage (1796-1925) -- Qajar society and religious culture : Tehran as a case study -- The Pahlavi regime and the emergence of secular modernism (1925-1979) -- Religious rituals, society and politics during the Pahlavi period -- Hoseyn "the prince of martyrs" -- Fatemeh, Zeynab, and emerging discourses on gender -- The Islamic republic.
"This study examines patterns of change in Shi'i symbols and rituals over the past two centuries to reveal how modernization has influenced the societal, political, and religious culture of Iran." "Moharram symbols and rituals are among the most pervasive and popular aspects of Iranian culture and society. The Martyrs of Karbala traces patterns of continuity and change in three aspects of Iranian life: the importance of these rituals in promoting social bonds, status, identities, and ideals; the ways in which three successive regimes (Qajars, Pahlavis, and the Islamic Republic) have either used these rituals to promote their legitimacy or have suppressed them because they viewed them as a potential political threat; and the uses of Moharram symbolism by opposition groups interested in overthrowing the regime."--Jacket.
