Imagining Iran before Nationalism: Geocultural Meanings of Land in Azar's Atashkadeh
This article outlines geocultural meaning of land in a famous late 18th-century tazkirah (commemorative biographical compendium), Aza Begdili's Atashkadah. In doing so, it historicizes the meaning of Iran in the context of a broader Persianate world (including Central and South Asia) that is strikingly different from modern nationalism.
