Exploring ‘diversity’ and ‘pluralism’
Contemporary Iran projects an image of ‘religious monopolism’, with its constitution declaring Shi’ism as the official religion and the census reporting over 99% of its population as Muslims. Within this, 5–15% are Sunnis, a minority recognised by the constitution but not acknowledged as a ‘minority’. Recognised religious minorities include Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians, with Christians being the largest (0.16% out of 0.2%). Larger minoritie…
Styles of ‘religion’, ‘non-religion’ and ‘spirituality’ in post-revolutionary Iran
By changing the definition of ‘religion’, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 has posed serious challenges not only to Iran’s role in the Middle East and its relations with the ‘West’, but also to many social theories, such as differentiation, modernization and secularization. Indeed, there is no shortage of work on how post-revolutionary Iran has ‘Islamized’ its constitution and institutions. However, there is little work on the impact of the ‘Islami…

From 'Islamism' to 'Spiritualism'? The Individualization of 'Religion' in Contemporary Iran
In the first four centuries of Islam in Iran, mosques were arguably the only sacred places for Iranian Muslims to pray. It was only after the invasion of the Mongolians and the resulting expansion of Shi'ism and Sufism throughout the country that the tombs of some sacred figures, including Imams' grandchildren ('Imamzadehs') or ('Maqbarahs'), became shrines and important sites for pilgrims. It is interesting that pilgrimage to both Imams' shrines…

Islam Versus Consumerism and Postmodernism in the Context of Iran
Based on the theoretical framework of religion and consumerism, the author explores the emergence of a material culture in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The major question is whether modern Iranian society, having established an Islamic state following the Islamic Revolution of 1979, has resisted consumerism, and therefore individualism, pluralism, hedonism and romanticism through ``self-thematizing Islamic religion''. Also, the author asks the o…
On the Boundaries of the State and the State of Boundaries in Iran
English Inspired mainly by Barth’s and Jacobson’s models of analysis, the authors explore the interrelationship between religion and ethnicity among young Iranian women who are Christian Armenians, Sunni Kurds and Shi’ite Azerian Turks. The major question is whether modern Iran displays a unitary notion of Islam, in which Muslims are considered as a single community and people are categorized in terms of their religious identity, as if there was …
Islamismo y educación en Irán contemporáneo, con referencia especial a las interacciones sociales y relaciones de género
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los cambios que han tenido lugar posterior a la revolución, en el curriculum oculto de las escuelas de Irán; particularmente aquellos cambios que se refieren a las relaciones sociales entre maestros y alumnos. La segregación sexual, entendida como la existencia de menores oportunidades y facilidades para uno de los géneros, ha adoptado diferentes formas en la vida escolar. Estas diferencias en contextos y …
Ideología islámica y su influencia formativa en la educación en Irán contemporáneo
El principal objetivo de este artículo es explorar la influencia de las ideas y los valores religiosos en el desarrollo de las estructuras y los procesos sociales ocurridos en Irán a partir de la revolución islámica de 1979. Con el propósito de examinar el grado en que estos factores ideológicos han influido en el sistema educativo del Irán posrevolucionario, llevé a cabo dos periodos de trabajo de campo en una zona rural del noroccidente de Irán…
