Abstract

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has promoted a Shi'a Islamic identity aimed at transcending ethnic and national boundaries. During the same period, Iran's Armenian community, once a prominent Christian minority in Tehran, has declined by more than 80%. Although the Armenian community is recognised by the constitution and granted specific privileges under Iranian law, they do not share equal rights with their Shi'i Muslim compatriots. Drawing upon interviews conducted with members of the Armenian community and using sources in both Persian and Armenian languages, this book questions whether the Islamic Republic has failed or succeeded in fostering a cohesive identity which enables non- Muslims to feel a sense of belonging in this Islamic Republic . As state identities are also often key in exacerbating ethnic conflict, this book probes into the potential cleavage points for future social conflict in Iran.

Abstract

Les temps sont mûrs pour définir un nouveau type de comparatisme indo-iranien, qui serait fondé sur une approche globale de littératures pareillement constituées à des fins liturgiques : la védique et la mazdéenne. Telle était la conviction commune aux organisateurs du colloque intitulé 'Aux sources des liturgies indo-iraniennes', qui s?est tenu à l?Université de Liège, les 9 et 10 juin 2016, avec l?appui du Fonds National pour la Recherche Scientifique. Le présent volume, fondé sur les contributions présentées à ce colloque, est destiné à permettre à des indianistes et à des iranistes spécialisés dans ces questions de faire le point sur l?état des connaissances en présence les uns des autres.
