Argument
The Iranophone world consists of an area that straddles Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Iranian plateau and Central Asia where speakers of Iranian languages have settled. Their long tradition of story telling and orality has been mostly unknown, outside the confines of the narrow specialisms of the individual languages, such as Wakhi, Ossetic, Kurdish, Balochi, Persian, Lori-Bakhtiari, or Kumzari. This is the first of a series of workshops that seek to foster mutual understanding and observe the communalities, in the field of Iranian studies. The theoretical approaches and applied methods will also be addressed. For the inaugural workshop in Paris, we shall pay special attention to the survival of the story telling tradition among Iranian speakers in modernity. Do their ancient stories - their themes, motifs, religious contents etc. - passed on orally from one generation to another, still have a place in contemporary society ?
This workshop is the first of a series of annual workshops that will take place, in alternation, at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INaLCO) in Paris and Institutionen för Lingvistik och Filologi (Dept. of Linguistics and Philology) of Uppsala University.
