| Summary |
Analyses a wide range of ritual activities marking, at times starkly contrasting, religious anniversaries and life course events in Iran. Arguing that ritual performances in Iran are powerful forums where ideas develop, and where rules, symbols and discourses are contested, this volume clarifies social, cultural and political processes. |
