What does it mean to be modern in Iran today? Can one properly speak of modernity in relation to what many consider to be the paradigmatic Islamic state? Since its 1979 revolution seized the world's attention, the Islamic Republic of Iran has remained a subject of misunderstanding, passion, and polemic, making these questions difficult to answer-or even to ask. This book-a study of Iran's political culture in the broadest and deepest sense-looks into both of these questions by examining the tremendous changes taking place in Iran today. Because of the difficulties posed for researchers and journalists by the nature of the regime, those interested in contemporary Iranian social life have had to rely on a small number of specialized studies-most of which overemphasize the revolution's radical break with the past and focus exclusively on the Republic's Islamic character as the decisive factor in its social reality. But modernity has not simply been banished and excluded from Iran; nor have the effects of globalization passed it by.Drawing on her extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Iran and an encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary Iranian politics and culture, anthropologist Fariba Adelkhah investigates modernity in the Islamic Republic of Iran by looking at the growth of individualism, the bureaucracy, commercial forces, and rationalization in post-revolution Iran. Being Modern in Iran ranges over such topics as * taxation and Islamic legitimacy; * Mayor Kharbaschi's creation of public space in Tehran; * the culture of giving; * religious economics; * the elections of 1996 and 1997, and the popular rejoicing that greeted them; * the nation-wide soccer craze; * the changing role of clerics; * the changing use of the Koran; and * the growth of competition in all areas of life. These subjects are brought to life by vignette discussions of pigeon-fanciers, flower symbolism, funeral rites, dreams, self-help manuals, cosmetics, and much more.Adelkhah avoids a simpleminded dualism between an "odious," backward, and repressive regime on the one side and a "kindly" civil society representing progress and freedom on the other; rather, she argues that a public space is being created through the existence of many religious, political, and economic activities. This sophisticated anthropology of the Iranian state sheds much-needed light on the unique nature of the social experiment Iran has been experiencing since the revolution.

A country marked by controversy, Iran’s social, cultural and political dynamics are too often reduced to a few misleading clichés. Islamism is widely considered to shape all social relations in Iranian society and, while Iranian society is indeed Islamic, this term’s multiple meanings in everyday life and practices go far beyond the naïve and monolithic idea we are used to. The Thousand and One Borders of Iran analyses travel as a social practice, exploring how diasporas, margins and so-called peripheries are central in the construction of a national identity and thus revealing the complexities of Iranian history and society. Written by a leading anthropologist, it draws upon fieldwork carried out in Iran and Iranian migrant communities across Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles from 1998 to 2015. While casting new perspectives on the place of transnational relations in an increasingly globalized world, this work also sheds new light on the evolution of Iranian society, countering the explanation furnished by nationalist ideology that has been reproduced by the Islamic Republic itself. Its unique approach to the analysis of Iranian society through the theme of travel and borders considers the links and even the quarrels between the centre of Iranian society and the periphery, and the foreign elements that have contributed to society’s development. Travel is key to these interactions and, following the travels of merchants and workers, students or the faithful, elected officials and experts, or exiles and refugees, this book offers an anthropological study of travel that re-thinks Iranian history and national identity. This book would be of interest to students and scholars of Iranian Studies, Middle Eastern Studies and Anthropology.

The revival of madrasas in the 1980s coincided with the rise of political Islam and soon became associated with the "clash of civilizations" between Islam and the West. This volume examines the rapid expansion of madrasas across Asia and the Middle East and analyses their role in society within their local, national and global context.Based on anthropological investigations in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Iran, and Pakistan, the chapters take a new approach to the issue, examining the recent phenomenon of women in madrasas; Hui Muslims in China; relations between the Iran’s Shia seminary after the 1979-Islamic revolution and Shia in Pakistan and Afghanistan; and South Asian madrasas. Emphasis is placed on the increased presence of women in these institutions, and the reciprocal interactions between secular and religious schools in those countries. Taking into account social, political and demographic changes within the region, the authors show how madrasas have been successful in responding to the educational demand of the people and how they have been modernized their style to cope with a changing environment.A timely contribution to a subject with great international appeal, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international politics, political Islam, Middle East and Asian studies and anthropology.

Dans la première édition de cet ouvrage, l''auteur avait révélé un visage méconnu de l''Iran postrévolutionnaire. La société est vivante, diversifiée et autonome par rapport au régime. Mais elle est aussi en interaction permanente avec ses institutions. Une société civile aux prises avec un Etat totalitaire? On assiste plutôt à la formation d''un espace public, que véhiculent de multiples pratiques religieuses, sportives, consuméristes, économiques et politiques. En témoigne notamment la recomposition d''un style de vie, celui de l''homme intègre, qui se veut désormais un "être en société". L''arrivée au pouvoir de Mahmoud Ahmadinejad contredit-elle cette évolution? Une nouvelle édition, augmentée, de ce livre classique, épuisé depuis deux ans, s''imposait pour comprendre l''arrière-plan social et politique de la crise nucléaire actuelle.

L’orientalisme et l’idéologie nationaliste ont laissé dans l’ombre les relations pluriséculaires nouées par l’Iran avec le reste du Moyen-Orient, mais aussi et surtout avec le Caucase, l’Asie centrale, le sous-continent indien et l’Extrême-Orient. Il en est découlé une perception distordue de l’histoire du pays. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, l’exil politique, l’expatriation économique, la généralisation du commerce transfrontalier, les pratiques de pèlerinage, l’engagement internationaliste dans différents conflits de la région ont conféré une importance accrue à l’institution de la frontière. D’autant que l’Iran est devenu un pays d’immigration et de refuge, accueillant sur son sol plusieurs millions d’Afghans et d’Irakiens. En outre, la frontière géographique et politique met en jeu d’autres frontières, entre les genres, entre le public et le privé, entre la légalité et l’illégalité, entre le religieux et le profane.Fariba Adelkhah se livre à une anthropologie des pratiques sociales du voyage en privilégiant l’étude des réseaux financiers et commerciaux transfrontaliers à l’échelle du Grand Khorassan et du golfe Persique, de l’expatriation au Japon, de la diaspora irano-californienne, de l’immigration afghane en Iran, des pèlerinages sur les lieux saints de Syrie et d’Arabie, des rêves de départ et de retour qui habitent le corps social. Au fil d’une observation participante s’étalant sur une dizaine d’années, elle apporte un éclairage neuf sur l’économie politique du néolibéralisme en République islamique, sur la participation sociale des femmes, sur la conscience nationale et religieuse – en bref sur ce qu’être Iranien (et Iranienne) veut dire, au jour le jour, et sur l’ambivalence des appartenances ou des identités. Quand les voyages forment la nation… Fariba Adelkhah, anthropologue, est directrice de recherche à la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques (SciencesPo-CERI). Elle a notamment publié La Révolution sous le voile. Femmes islamiques d’Iran (Karthala, 1991) et Être moderne en Iran (Karthala, 1998, nouvelle édition augmentée en 2006). Elle poursuit actuellement des recherches sur la société afghane.

Les migrations, les pratiques du voyage nous rappellent que le monde est en mouvement parce qu''elles constituent elles-mêmes un mouvement social. Il est nécessaire que les problématiques du développement prennent mieux en compte la complexité des mobilités contemporaines, tant ces dernières relèvent des objectifs les plus directs de l''aide. Elles n''y parviendront qu''en s''émancipant des attentes dites sécuritaires qui pèsent de plus en plus sur la formulation des politiques publiques. Le voyage est une pratique de développement, et un objet de l''économie ou de l''anthropologie du développement. Il doit maintenant devenir un sujet à part entière de l''aide au développement.

« La Révolution iranienne de 1978-1979 et le régime islamique qui en est issu n’ont pas fini de nous interpeller. Mais parmi les questions que nous nous posons l légitimement à leur sujet , une seule, à vrai dire, a passionné et passionne encore l’opinion occidentale : c’est la question des femmes. Sujet populaire et toujours d’actualité, mais également chargé d’ambiguïté, d’émotion , de douleur, voire de danger ! Fariba Adelkhah a eu le courage de s’y attaquer et d’aller enquêter sur place, en anthropologue, en s’efforçant de résister à la simplicité trompeuse des thèses partisanes et des oppositions manichéennes. Aussi, le travail qu’elle nous livre aujourd’hui tranche-t-il singulièrement, par son sérieux et son originalité, sur la littérature superficielle et de parti pris qui semblait régner jusqu’à présent dans ce domaine.Le résultat est une riche moisson d’observations et d’analyse sur l’idéologie et les pratiques des cercles féminins musulmans de la capitale iranienne. Fariba Adelkhah démontre notamment bien la double contradiction qui caractérise l’évolution de statut de la femme en Iran, double contradiction dont la question du voile fournit une sorte de condensé (d’où son incompréhension en Occident) : durant le règne des deux derniers Shah le dévoilement forcé des iraniennes a contribuer à accentuer leur enfermement dans le cadre familial ; à l’inverse, sous la République islamique, c’est par le truchement de leur revoilement, même contraint, qu’elles ont pu accéder à un rôle croissant dans la vie de la Cité.De même Fariba Adelkhah nous fait découvrer que les femmes qu’elle étudie ont vécu et perçu la Révolution, non seulement comme un mouvement de contestation de l’ordre impérial, mais aussi et surtout comme un outil d’élaboration d’un ordre social et, notamment, d’une nouvelle identité féminine.Pour avoir su résister aux sirènes de la facilité, Fariba Adelkhah ser, n’en doutons pas, ciolemment contestée, tant par les uns, qui l’accuseront de tiédeur suspecte, que par les autres, qui ne lui reprocheront des sympathies coupables. Mais qu’elle ne s’en émeuve pas, bien au contraire : ces attaques seront le plus bel hommage qui pourra être rendu à son livre ! » Jean-Pierre Digard
