From the harems of the Qajars to the Iran-Iraq War – a history of photography in Iran The emergence of photography in Iran dates back to the mid-19th century, shortly after its invention in Europe in 1839.

Portrait of a Nation

There have been academic debates regarding the exact date, but according to the remarkable collection of historic photographs in the Golestan Palace in Tehran, the very first photographic images taken in Iran can be dated between 1839 and 1842. The Iranian Qajar monarch, Mohammad Shah (1808 – 1848), was the first person to be gifted a camera by Queen Victoria. After a few training sessions with the instrument, the monarch’s young son – 11-year old Nasereddin Mirza – showed great enthusiasm for it, and became passionate about learning everything about the magic box that captured light.

Since the development of photography in Iran, the camera has been loyal as a means towards political ends.

The story behind Icy & Sot

We love the vibe around artists who work both inside and outside, in the gallery and on walls, who dare raising questions about the ‘value’ of art: the general perception is that outside art is ‘worthless’, unless it is commissioned public art. We love the vibe, the humor, the social awareness and stunts of many of the urban (or rural) artists, just like we love outsider art, but some of the art produced by the not so talented artist who are part of this movement is just plainly dull, too easy and uninspired, therefore casting a dark shadow over a vibrant scene.

When clowns like Mr Brainwash claim to be an artist, then the end is near. Everydayiran on Instagram. ۱۳۹۳ پنج شنبه ۱۶ مرداد. Kgou. Listen to Mohamad Tavakoli's conversation with Rebecca Cruise and Afshin Marashi.

Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, nationalism and colonialism created fixed borders between societies that otherwise shared common ethnic backgrounds, language, and culture. If you separate the world by regions, India and Iran don’t initially appear to have much in common. But in the 1960s, University of Chicago historian Marshall Hodgson introduced the concept of Persianate society – arguing that in the pre-modern world, Iranians, the Ottoman Empire, the South Asian Indian Mogul empire, and even Central Asians all spoke Persian.

That broad, impeccably groomed moustache, haughty smirk, medallion-studded regalia, black felt cap replete with the lustrous loot of Nader and a telling tuft of peacock plumes, and … those eyes; two dark, sunken spheres possessing at once an air of languor and unbridled pride, which seemingly beckon one from every gaudy teapot and ghalyan in Iran to behold that monarch of late, that Pivot of the Universe. Come, they say; come, and I shall relate the tale of how I, Nasereddin Shah-e Qajar lived, ruled, and died, and recount the fate of fair Persia in days both olden and anew.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful … Following the decline of the brief renaissance and respite afforded by the Safavids, Iran, yet again, found itself in a state of chaos and confusion. After being sacked by the Afghans, the time was ripe for a new monarch to seize the imperial throne and take advantage of the lost glory of the line of Sheikh Safi. SharghDaily : افزایش رشد علمی ...

EXAMINING THE RECENT SURGE OF INTEREST IN THE SOUND OF 60s & 70s IRAN AND TURKEY A few months ago on a lazy Sunday afternoon, as I was strolling down the quirky fashion drag that is Toronto’s Queen Street, I spotted something in the corner of my eye that seemed just ever so slightly out of context.

Farsi Funk, Bosphorus Beats

Stopping for a moment, I looked into the display window of a trendy vinyl store, and eyed there amongst the colourful sleeves of obscure folk and rock albums the word Zendooni (Persian for ‘Prisoner’) in garish yellow lettering above a conspicuously Iranian-looking woman in a field of sunflowers; Funk, psychedelia and pop from the Iranian pre-revolution generation read the description. Although I had successfully sourced with eagerness the tracks on Zendooni, it wasn’t the first time I’d gone digging in pursuit of Iranian ‘nuggets’ (as record collectors like to call them) from the 60s and 70s; that is, from that brief era of bliss before the shit hit the fan for the Iranian music industry. گنجور.

Iran emrooz. The Strange Fruits of a Fascination. Though the German word sehnsucht is often translated as ‘fascination’ in English, it also carries with it connotations of longing and desire. Between September 2013 and January 2014, the concept of sehnsucht was explored, particularly with respect to the longstanding relationship between Iran and Europe. Focusing on the threads of contact woven between the 1600s to the present day, a rich and thought-provoking dialogue of aesthetics, politics, and identity was presented, which featured some 200-odd works from both Persian and European classical artists, as well as some of Iran’s most important contemporary artists.

Shutting down culture in Iran. In recent weeks, Iran has clamped down on cultural institutions, including officially revoking the license of 27-year old publishing house Cheshmeh Publications, and shutting down the country’s independently-run House of Cinema.

Books: Negotiating with Iran : Wrestling the Ghosts of History. John Limbert steps up with a pragmatic yet positive assessment of how to engage Iran. Through four detailed case studies of past successes and failures, he draws lessons for today’s negotiators and outlines 14 principles to guide the American who finds himself in a negotiation—commercial, political, or other—with an Iranian counterpart.

"This is an excellent book and an important contribution to what is rapidly becoming the central issue in American foreign policy. Limbert draws on years of professional and personal experience to explore and explain the problematic nature of Iran-U.S. relations and to offer coherent and constructive solutions for the future. Limbert is in the enviable position of being able to combine the perspective of a historian with the immediacy of a diplomat who has been at the forefront of America’s tragic relationship with Iran, to provide a penetrating yet accessible account of the relationship.

John Limbert is a retired Foreign Service Officer and academic.
