Iranian Studies Series One Word - Yak Kaleme

19th century Persian treatise introducing western codified law

2011 || Paperback || A.A. Seyed-Gohrab e.a. || Leiden University Press

One Word – Yak Kaleme was one of the first treatises in the Middle East to demonstrate that Islam is compatible with the introduction of modern western forms of government, and specifically that the principles of the sharia can be incorporated in a codified law comparable to that found in European countries. This was a daring argument in the late 19th century, when it was extremely difficult to convince the rulers and religious class that a civil code of law was needed: would it not diminish...

Agreement Restrictions in Persian / druk 1

|| Paperback || Anousha Sedighi || Leiden University Press

Agreement Restrictions in Persian is the first comprehensive attempt to tackle the issue of verbal agreement in Persian from a cross-linguistic point of view. Persian is a field of research within theoretical linguistics that is yet to be sufficiently explored. This book adopts the Minimalist Program of Chomsky (1995-2004) which is at the forefront of recent theories of formal syntax and applies it to the Persian language.

Although it is commonly believed that in Persian the verb agrees with t...

Verbal and visual rhetoric in a media world / druk 1

2013 || Paperback || Hilde van Belle e.a. || Leiden University Press

Van oudsher is de studie van de retorica gericht op het verbale persuasieve discours in het politieke, juridische of ceremoniële domein. Retorica speelt zich af in de doxa; en focust zich dus op het publieke discours dat zich afspeelt in een onzekere wereld zonder ultieme waarheid.

Culturele en politieke omstandigheden sporen ons telkens opnieuw aan om de positie en reikwijdte van de discipline te blijven bepalen. Een van de belangrijkste kenmerken van onze tijd is de groeiende invloed van v...

Contemporary Rhetorical Citizenship

2015 || Paperback || Christian Kock e.a. || Leiden University Press

This book presents studies from different academic fields of theoretical issues raised by public discourse, focusing on understanding and evaluating how it...

Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation

forugh Farrokhzad and Sylvia Plath

|| Paperback || Leila Rahimi Bahmany || Leiden University Press

Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation explores the rich diversity of the meanings associated with the mirror and reflection in literature by women on the basis of the works of the Persian Forugh Farrokhzad (1935-1967) and her American contemporary Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). These two poets astutely employed mirror images for the realization as well as for communication of their turbulent psycho-emotional states to their readers, thereby capturing and conveying the essence of women desperately...

Irreverent Persia

invective, satirical and burlesque poetry from the origins to the timurid period (10th to 15th century)

2015 || Paperback || Riccardo Zipoli || Leiden University Press

Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of Persian literary history. Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major a...

The Island of Skyros from Late Roman to Early Modern Times Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU)

an archaeological survey

2015 || Paperback || Michalis Karambinis || Leiden University Press

Aegean archaeology has mainly concentrated on Prehistoric and Greco-Roman times and has provided relatively little information on human activity and material culture in the medieval period. Historical research concerning the medieval era is sufficiently developed but archaeological research on the medieval Aegean has mainly focused on matters of art and architecture. In fact, we have an overall picture of the medieval and post-medieval periods for only a few islands of the Aegean. This ASLU v...

Terrorists on Trial

a performative perspective

2016 || Paperback || Beatrice de Graaf e.a. || Leiden University Press

Terrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. A nexus between terrorist violence, law enforcement and public opinion, terrorism trials showcase justice in progress and thus demonstrate to the world how terrorism suspects are treated under national law.

A GIS Procedure to Study Settlement Organization in Early Roman Colonial Territories

This 43th volume of the ASLU series presents a useful GIS procedure to study settlement patterns in landscape archaeology. In several Mediterranean regions archaeological sites have been mapped by fieldwalking surveys, producing large amounts of data. These legacy site-based survey data represent an important resource to study ancient settlement organization. Methodological procedures are necessary to cope with the limits of these data, and more importantly with the distortions on data patter...

My Mother's Mother's Mother

South African Women's Writing from 17th Century Dutch to Contemporary Afrikaans

2019 || Hardcover || Pieta van Beek e.a. || Leiden University Press

For the first time more than seventy South African women’s voices, from 1652 until today, are collected and published in one volume. Initially we hear their voices in Dutch, then in different varieties of Afrikaans, bearing witness to the fascinating development of a new language. We share the joys and sorrows of these women; their entertaining, sometimes gruesome stories.

The printing press arrived late at the Cape, and when it finally did, it took another century before the first publica...
