Book Chapter
The territory of Shiraz
2012,2011
Overview
This chapter introduces the constitutive elements of Shiraz as city of knowledge through a discussion of a set of writings and cultural initiatives from the end of the nineteenth century to 1979. The analysis of these materials aims at offering a \"pre-history\" of post-revolutionary developments as a background to the chapters that follow. I identify a set of discursive and non-discursive mechanisms that have participated in the making of Shiraz as city of knowledge and highlight the ways in which distinctive forms of knowledge, techniques of power and processes of subject formation intertwined. My aim is to offer a retrospective consideration of how a set of elements crystallized into a vision of Shiraz as city of knowledge. While I attend to the contexts in which these writings were produced, my concern here is less with historical sequence than with the constitutive features of the city of knowledge that each of the documents I analyze exhibits.
