HISTORY (S25) | 131A ZOROASTRIANISM | CERETI, C. |
Emphasis/Category: Histories, Cultures, and Identities, Geographies, Migrations, and Politics Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest religions and has been the religion of the Persian Empire throughout antiquity. It has influenced immensely the development of other religions attested in Asia and the Mediterranean in the pre-modern period. Unlike other faiths professed in the ancient world, Zoroastrianism has survived to this day, and Zoroastrian communities exist in India and Iran, as well as in Europe and North-America. In fact, many believers in the Best Religion now live in Southern California. Zoroastrian religious tenets developed in constant dialogue with other traditions, during our classes we will see how this happened in the various historical periods. | ||
HISTORY (S25) | 131C MEDIEVAL PERSIA | DARYAEE, T. |
Emphasis/Category: Histories, Cultures, and Identities, Geographies, Migrations, and Politics This course is a survey of Iranian history in the context of Late Antique and Medieval Islamic History. We shall attempt to present a view that Iranshahr (Realm of Iranians), could be studied as a separate cultural center amidst the Islamic world. We will begin with the rise of the last great Sasanian king of kings, Khusro I in the 6th CE to through the Mongol conquest and the Il-Khanid settlement in the 14th century CE. During this time period Iranshahr went through much political and religious upheaval and changes which is usually studied in the context of Medieval Islamic history. The aim of this course is to focus on the Perso-Islamicate world which includes the modern countries of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Uzbekestan, Tajikestan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, R. of Azarbijan), as well as Mesopotamia (Iraq) | ||
