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

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...
