Full textAbstract:
Germaine Tillion’s classic work of ethnology My Cousin, My Husband related so-called “honor”-based violence (HBV) to the institution of cousin marriage as a response to women’s entitlement to inheritance within the Greater Mediterranean Region. This article will scrutinize Tillion’s position using original survey data gathered in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, finding that although there is a correlation between HBV and cousin marriage, Tillion’s association of this with inheritance laws is inadequate. An alternative position is proposed, in which the relationship between HBV and cousin marriage is situated in coercion around marriage, intergenerational tensions, and in-group exclusivity, exacerbated by the contemporary politics of nationalist neopatrimonialism and an economy based in oil rentierism.

Full textAbstract:
This is an ethnographic study that focuses on Zahmanê Êzîdîa Li Dalarna, the Yezidi cemetery, in Borlänge. The Swedish town of Borlänge has one of the largest Yezidi diaspora communities in Western Europe; a majority emigrated from the Northern Iraqi region of Sheikhan during the 1990s and early 2000s. The overall aim of this project is to investigate how the Yezidi community in Borlänge puts Zahmanê Êzîdîa Li Dalarna into use, the meanings ascribed to the site by individual interviewees, and how these relate to ritual places and practices in Sheikhan. The empirical material stems from observations and interviews among members of three extended Yezidi families in Borlänge and in Sheikhan, and archival material from the Church of Sweden. Fieldwork in Sheikhan focused on the valley of Lalish and the cemetery sites in the Yezidi villages in Sheikhan. The empirical material is presented, analysed and discussed through a theoretical framework of place, creation and maintenance of social memory through ritual practice, and the concept of transfer of ritual. The empirical material reveals that salient ritual actions and elements from ceremonies in Lalish and the Yezidi villages in Sheikhan are transferred to Borlänge, and there put into use for ritual practices and for creating and maintaining a collective identity outside of Iraq.

Mirzaei, Hossein. "Les immigrés afghans en Iran : une étude anthropologique." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013AIXM3059.
Full textAbstract:
Les trois millions immigrés afghans en Iran vivent temporairement ou non, légalement ou clandestinement, en situation d’isolement, de groupe, de famille et dans des zones permises. Ce problème migratoire nous amène à nous poser les questions suivantes: 1.Quels sont ces facteurs attractifs en Iran qui provoquent donc l’un des plus grands mouvements migratoires contemporains, malgré des difficultés du voyage et des restrictions existantes sur la terre d’accueil? 2.A quels changements aspirent-t-ils dans leur déplacement ? Comment parviennent-ils à réaliser leurs rêves? 3.Et quelles étapes concrètes et mentales ont-ils traversées pour réaliser leur but ? C’est pour répondre à toutes ces questions que nous avons mené une enquête anthropologique à la suite d’une étude ethnographique pour ensuite en tirer des conclusions. Le premier volet de cette enquête concerne les quatre histoires de vie dont une intégrale. Ainsi, cette partie descriptive va porter sur la migration des Afghans. La deuxième partie va traiter du mode de vie matérielle, au travers de cinq chapitres : L’espace de vie, De l'hygiène corporelle au bien-être psychologique, L’alimentation, L’habillement, L’emploi. Et une troisième partie qui au travers de quatre chapitres va couvrir les liens socio-culturels de cette population : La langue, l’identité et la hiérarchie sociale, Les relations de parenté, Faire des études, Les activités du temps libre. En effet, ces deux parties, vont porter sur les deux volets principaux de la vie de toute immigration où qu’elle ait lieu : à savoir d’une part, les problèmes de « survie » et d’autre part, les aspects relationnels et communicationnels de la « vie »Afghan immigrants in Iran represent about 4 % of the population, live temporarily or not, legally or illegally, in isolation, group, family and allowable and more urban than rural areas.This migration problem leads us to ask the following questions:1. What are these pull factors in Iran thus cause one of the biggest contemporary migratory movements, despite the difficulties of travel and existing restrictions on home soil?2. What changes do they aspire in their movement? How do they manage to achieve their dreams?3. And what concrete steps have mental and they crossed to reach their goal?To answer to these questions we have to conduct an anthropological investigation following by an ethnographic study of long then draw conclusions. The first part concerns the life story of four with an integral. Thus, the descriptive part will focus on the migration of Afghans.The second part will deal with the mode of material life of immigrants, through five chapters : The living space, From personal hygiene to the psychological well-being, Food, The cleverly, Employment.And a third party through four chapters will cover the socio- cultural ties of the population: Language, identity and the social hierarchy, Kinship, Studying, The activities of free time.Indeed, both parties will be focused on two main aspects of the life of any immigration where it takes place: namely the one hand, the problems of "survival" and secondly, the relational aspects communicational and "life.”

Nous avons commencé cette étude en présentant le peuple bakhtiari, d’Iran, dans toute sa diversité : étude résumée de son histoire, de ses origines et de sa formation ethnique, des espaces où il vit, de son rythme et de ses déplacements puisqu’il pratique la transhumance.Nous avons abordé à partir de ses activités et de son économie la manière dont il se loge, se nourrit, se soigne et les aspects les plus coutumiers de son organisation de vie familiale. Puis nous avons abordé et développé l’étude approfondie de la langue des Bakhtiaris.Nous l’avons étudiée, phonétiquement, donnant des renseignements sur les lettres, les sons et l’organisation du système phonétique de la langue bakhtiari. Puis nous avons développé une étude de la grammaire et de la syntaxe de la langue, telle que nous la connaissons et la pratiquons. Il est important de noter qu’il s’agit d’une langue surtout orale et qu’il n’existe pas d’étude approfondie de cette grammaire tant dans sa morphologie que dans sa syntaxe.Notre étude est donc très importante à ce titre. Nous avons pu la mener parce que pendant des années nous avons enregistré, en vivant au milieu des Bakhtiaris, dans notre famille, des conversations, des sessions avec des conteurs et des poètes, ceux qui gardent la langue vivante et nous permettent de la conserver et de l’étudier…We begin by presenting the Bakhtiari people of Iran. This study summarises the diversity ofthese people: their history, origins and ethnic formation, the places they inhabit and the cycleof their travels since they began the practice of transhumance.We studied the manner in which operations and economy are incorporated into bakhtiariculture, including the more traditional aspects of the organisation of family life. We thenundertook an in-depth study of the bakhtiari language. We have studied this language and itsevolution from its origins to what we know today. We studied it phonetically usinginformation on letters, sounds and organisation of the phonetic system of the bakhtiarilanguage. We then developed a study of grammar and syntax of the language as we knowand practice it. It is important to note that this is primarily an oral language and there is nocomprehensive study of the grammar in both its morphology and syntax. Therefore, ourstudy is very important in documenting this aspect of the bakhtiari language.We have been able to conduct this study because for years our family have lived alongsidethe Bakhtiari people and we have experienced conversations and meetings with storytellersand poets who keep the language alive and allow us to preserve and study their language…

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les parcours migratoires pluripolaires et pluriséquentiels des Afghans en Iran et en Europe. Les jeunes hommes qui viennent illégalement en Europe, par voie terrestre et maritime, ont connu une première expérience migratoire à l’échelle régionale en famille ou seul, en tant qu’ouvrier saisonnier. Dans le contexte régional, une communauté transnationale est établie de longue date entre l’Afghanistan, le Pakistan et l’Iran, qui facilite la circulation ou l’installation des nouveaux arrivants. Dans le contexte européen, l’itinéraire se dessine au fur et à mesure du parcours avec des déplacements transnationaux et des arrêts dans les grandes villes européennes (Athènes, Rome, Paris). Les villes-étapes sont des espaces privilégiés où les migrants prolongent leurs réseaux sociaux et en construisent de nouveaux. Durant leur déplacement en Europe, les jeunes migrants entretiennent des relations à distance avec leur famille restée en Afghanistan, au Pakistan et en Iran. L’expérience de la route, qui s’inscrit dans un ensemble de pratiques de mobilité avec le voyage et le pèlerinage, modifie le statut, le rôle et la fonction de celui qui se déplace. L’analyse souligne les transformations des relations de parenté et de genre au sein de la société afghane transnationale, des changements sociaux profonds dont les migrants sont des initiateursThis research deals with pluripolar and plurisequential migration patterns of Afghans in Iran and Europe. Young people come illegally in Europe by land and sea. Most of migrants either used to spend significant periods in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, with their relatives or as seasonal workers. In the regional context, a long established transnational community between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, makes easier the mobility or settlement of newcomers. In the European context, young people migrate in a succession of transnational movements, making long breaks in major European capitals (Athens, Roma, Paris) along their route. Breaks are privileged spaces where the migrants extend their social networks and build new one. During their journeys in Europe, young migrants maintain long-distance relationships with their families left behind in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Mobility of Afghans is related to practices of travel and pilgrimage. The experience of the route modifies status, role and function of the one who emigrate. This research highlights the transformation of kin and gender relationships in the transnational afghan society, as much as social changes initiated by the migrants

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l'imaginaire des quatre éléments à travers la littérature comparée contemporaine, entre un auteur français, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio et une auteure iranienne, Goli Taraghi. La méthodologie engagée révèle à partir des qualités sensibles propres à chaque élément, des caractères symboliques. La littérature comparée exige d'autre part, d'appréhender notre sujet avec une vision élargie aux faits culturels et sociétaux car chaque auteur porte dans son imaginaire de la nature, une mémoire à la fois personnelle et collective. Cette mémoire est en effet traversée par des événements historiques particuliers qui ont une influence certaine sur la psychologie individuelle et le rapport au monde. La part du souvenir et l'interprétation du souvenir sont par conséquent attentivement observées et nous suivons ainsi le cours que l'auteur a aménagé à chaque élément, dans l'écriture de son monde. L’étude se compose de trois parties : les première et deuxième parties concernent les domaines sensible et symbolique. La troisième partie confronte les résultats obtenus en mettant en évidence des réseaux thématiques d'images et de symboles. Enfin, la conclusion nous amène à souligner l'importance de la psychologie de chaque auteur qui délimite ainsi un territoire d'exercice pour chaque élément, ébauchant une cosmogonie dont les quatre éléments ne présentent qu'un aspect. Ce qui fait l'intérêt de l'analyse dans la littérature comparée se révèle ici riche de sens en permettant l'émergence des différences et des éléments d'universalité par-delà l'érosion que produit la mondialisation de la post-modernité. L'écrivain montre une certaine indépendance par la persistance d'attitudes singulières animées par la vigueur de l'enracinement culturelThis thesis focuses upon the imagination of the four elements through contemporary comperative literature, between French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio and Iranian writer Goli Taraqi. The methodology used here reveals symbolic characters from the sensitive qualities of each element. On the other hand, compared literature requires that we understand our subject with a more expanded vision based on cultural and societal facts because each writer carries in his/her own imagination of the nature at times a personal and collective memory. This memory is in fact crossed by particular historic events which have a specific influence on individual psychology and relation with the world. The share of memories and the interpretation of memories are attentively observed and we follow the way the writer has designed for each element in writing his world. This study is comprised of three parts: The first and the second parts are about sensitive and symbolic areas and the third part compares the results obtained from exposing the thematic networks of images and symbols. Finally, the conclusion brings us to underscore the importance of psychology of each writer, which determines a territory of action for each element by outlining a cosmogony whose four elements represent only a single aspect. The advantage with analysis in the compared literature here is that the latter is rich in meaning, allowing the emergence of differences and elements of universality beyond erosion resulting from the globalization of post-modernity. The writer shows a sort of independence through persistence of specific lively attitudes through the vigor of cultural roots

L'examen attentif des concordances ponctuelles et annexes des romans de Tristan et Wîs et Râmîn de Gorgâni dévoilela survivance d'un passé idéologique commun provenant de I'idéologie tripartite des Indo-européens. Comme le récitdu roman persan date de l'époque parthe, cette thèse pour découvrir l'énigme d'une transmission ou d'un emprunt, se focalise sur I'origine iranienne de certains thèmes et motifs du roman de Tristan et retrace la migration d'un rameau des peuples iraniens en Europe jusqu'en France. Ce peuple que la mémoire historique connaît sous le nom des Alains était I'un des descendants des Scythes qui étaient eux-mêmes les frères nomades des ParthesA careful examination of occasional concordances and appendices of Tristan and Gorgâni's Wîs and Râmîn novel reveals the survival of a common ideological past borrowed from Indo-Europeans tripartite ideology. As the narration of the Persian novel dates from the Parthian period, this thesis to solve the enigma of a transmission or an adaptation focuses on the Iranian origin of some themes and motifs of Tristan novel and retraces the migration of a branch of lranian people in Europe, even to France. This people who is known by historical memory under the name of the Alans, was one of thedescendants of the Scythians who were themselves the nomadic brothers of the Parthians

Stone, Naomi Shira. "Human Technologies in the Iraq War." Thesis, 2016. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8RR1Z9F.
Full textAbstract:
Amidst increasing academic interest in “post-human” war technologies of surveillance and targeting, my dissertation conversely examines the ramifications of militarizing human beings as cultural technologies in wartime. I claim that “local” intermediaries are hired as embodied repositories of cultural knowledge to produce the soldier as an “insider” within the warzone. I focus on Iraqi former interpreters and contractors during the 2003 Iraq War who currently work as cultural role-players in pre-deployment simulations in the United States. In a new contribution to scholarship on war, my ethnography is staged within mock Middle Eastern villages constructed by the U.S. military across the woods and deserts of America to train soldiers deploying to the Middle East. Among mock mosques and markets, Iraqi role-players train U.S. soldiers by repetitively pretending to mourn, bargain, and die like the wartime adversary, ally, or proxy soldier they enact. Employed by the U.S. military in the post 9-11 “Cultural Turn” as exemplars of their cultures but banished to the peripheries as traitors by their own countrymen, and treated as potential spies by U.S. soldiers, these wartime intermediaries negotiate complex relationships to the referent as they simulate war.
In my dissertation, I investigate the epistemological and affective dimensions of this wartime trend, as wartime intermediaries embody culture for training soldiers, but not on their own terms.

Tawasil, Amina. "The Howzevi (Seminarian) Women in Iran: Constituting and Reconstituting Paths." Thesis, 2013. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8HT2V4V.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is based on fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork with seminarian women in Iran in the summer of 2008, and from 2010 to 2011. I ask, after having unprecedented access to the howzeh elmiyeh (seminaries) after the revolution, what have been some of the consequences for the howzevi? And, how do women in the howzeh elmiyeh see themselves? Through grounded method of analysis, I have found that in their pursuit of what constitutes `a good life', the howzevi of this study were actively attempting to transform themselves and the howzeh setting, their social relationships, and the greater Iranian society at large by exploring resources available to them within a set of constraints. These limitations were often not only self-imposed but also intensified with increased access to particular networks. In the following chapters I argue for an alternative way of looking at, and talking about, the howzevi who are now positioned in institutions that have emerged at the core of the ongoing struggles to shape a particular Iran. The term howzeh elmiyeh (seminaries) may be defined as Islamic theological institutions of higher religious learning where a personal teacher-student transmission of knowledge, oral and written, of Islamic Jurisprudence and other ancilliary Islamic sciences would take place. As you may know, in Muslim populated countries like Pakistan, the howzeh is also known as a madrasa. Unlike devotees of Catholic seminaries, however, students of the howzeh elmiyeh neither observe celibacy nor are physically secluded from the rest of society. Rather, they are, and have been, an integral part of the urban landscape in Syria, Egypt, Iran and Iraq from the ninth century A.D. (Berkey 2003; Bulliet 1972; Chamberlain 1994). The howzevi of this study were between the ages of eighteen to sixty years-old, and were at different stages of their education. Some were unmarried and in the early stages of their education. Some were married with children and completing doctoral research, while others were simultaneously teaching seminary classes, working on women's Islamic rights, and partaking in the Dars- e Kharij class (the highest level in the seminary) with Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, the Supreme Leader. Belonging to the ultra- religious conservative population in Iran, their history of mobility was limited inside the home before the 1979 revolution. Absent in the anthropological literature of women in the Middle East and women in contemporary Islamic higher education, the institutionalization of the howzeh elmiyeh (seminaries) for women in Iran was a project that had been in the works before the revolution. Its formalization emerged publicly only in 1984 through the combined efforts of groups of revolutionary Islamist women in petitioning Ayatollah Khomeini for the establishment of Jami'at Al-Zahra in Qom. By Islamicizing public space, the revolution also enabled these women to move into the public sphere. Since then, the howzeh elmiyeh for women has been an ongoing statewide project through the active participation of women who credit the 1979 revolution for widespread access to this form of education. This opening amounts to a yearly average of 65,000 women attend the women's howzeh all over Iran, excluding graduates since about 1984. Annually, the howzeh elmiyeh turns away ten percent of applicants (Sakurai 2011) because the infrastructure cannot yet accomodate the demand for women's enrollment. This support for the howzevi remains unparalleled throughout the history of Shi'i Islamic scholarship in the Shi'i Islamic world. After the 1979 revolution, the access which the women of the intellectual clerical elite had to Islamic education for women was extended to "all women"; all women, who, at least, were willing to observe the social constraints of the howzevi lifestyle, regardless of the socioeconomic group they belonged to, and/or the fact that they did not come from an intellectual Shi'i scholarly family. This served a purpose, however. The revolutionary state appropriated the concept of the howzeh elmiyeh for women (Adelkhah 2000) in order to produce a specific type of revolutionary woman. Notwithstanding, as the revolutionary state created a new public space for Islam (Adelkhah 2000), it also provided new leadership opportunities for women (Afary 2009; Najmabadi 2008; Sedghi 2007). Women students were able to embark on a fully-funded path towards potentially becoming, among other Islamic scholarly aspirations, a mujtahideh, a woman who may derive religious rulings for herself, a process called ijtihad, and who are also able to engage in discussions about Islamic laws and its applicability in Iranian society. This research is in conversation with how women in the Middle East are neither passive nor homogenous (Abu-Lughod 1993; Holmes-Eber 2003; Mahmood 2005; Osanloo 2009; Torab 2007), as well as within the discourse on society and the women's movement in Iran (Adelkhah 2000; Afary 2009; Afshar 1998; Bahramitash 2008; Kamalkhani 1998; Kian-Thiébaut 2002; Kunkler & Fazaeli 2012; Mahdavi 2007; Mir- Hosseini 1999; Moghissi 1994; Najmabadi 2008; Osanloo 2009; Paidar 1995; Poya 1999; Sakurai 2011, 2012; Sedghi 2007; Torab 2007; Varzi 2006).
