CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS

Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the field of Iranian Studies has been
in the forefront of an academic revolution involving the
re-conceptualization of whole fields of inquiry: social movements and
revolutions, the concepts of modernization and secularization, religious
revivalism and post-Islamist secularism, the role of the women¹s movement
and Islamic feminism, the clash and dialogue of civilizations, graphics and
cinema, and private and public spaces. Concurrent with these conceptual
re-mappings are postnationalist scholarly endeavours to recover the
conjoined histories and cultures of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle
East, overlapping terrains that have been defined as ³Persianate.² The
recovery of the ancient and medieval Persianate world has been also
contemporaneous with the emergence of new diasporic communities, where
Persian speakers from Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan are brought together
in global cities like London, Berlin, Paris, New Delhi, Tokyo, Los Angeles,
and Toronto. These developments have contributed to the deterritorialization
of Iranian Studies, which is no longer limited to the geographical
boundaries of contemporary Iran.

Edited by Homa Katouzian and Mohamad Tavakoli-Targhi, the new ISIS Iranian
Studies series published by Routledge will provide a venue for the
publication of such original and innovative scholarly works in all areas of
Iranian and Persianate Studies. Since 1967 ISIS has been a leading learned
society for the advancement of new approaches in the study of Iranian
history, culture, and literature. With access to scholars in all fields of
Iranian Studies, the series editors are committed to a thorough and timely
review of all submissions.
