Iranian Intellectualsâ Discursive Articulations of the West

Iranian Intellectualsâ Discursive Articulations of the West

How did Iranian intellectuals perceive the West? The book argues that there has never been a single, monolithic West amongst Iranian intellectuals but that we can rather identify multifaceted, heterogeneous Occidentalisms. The analysis takes the 19th century Iranian travellers as a starting point who articulated an Instrumentalist Occidentalism which in essence tried to adopt western legal institutions and social thoughts compatible with their own ideas.
