Institute for Iranian StudiesTalk coming up this Monday at 5pm for those in Vienna: Carol Fan will be talking about perceptions of China in Khata’i’s 'Account of China' and discussing what this means for understanding Ottoman use and idealisations of China in political life.
something called Banur@IranianStudies Stupid Question, will there be a Stream?
@NoRestfortheWicked Unfortunately it doesn't look like it in this case: we try to stream talks wherever we can, and some of our seminar series and events are fully online, but it's not always possible, as not all the rooms we can use have the relevant facilities and also in some rarer cases discussions involve unpublished work or more sensitive topics that speakers don't want broadcast.
Lots of past talks are also available on our YouTube channel if any of those are of interest: https://www.youtube.com/@IFI_Media
Institut für Iranistik der ÖAW
The Institute of Iranian studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences carries out scholarly research on all aspects of Iranian and Persianate cultures and societies in Asia. It advances cutting-edge research in Iranian studies on a philological and historical basis. The core research projects aim to explore in an exemplary way cultural processes in Iranian and Persian cultures in Asia. A certain emphasis is put on the period from the early modern period to the 20th century, but earlier periods receive full consideration. The geographic area under examination encompasses the regions where historically Iranian languages were dominant. This includes the officially Persian-speaking countries of today – Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan – and historically also the Caucasus, Central Asia and South Asia. The Institute of Iranian Studies promotes methodological diversity and comparative approaches in the humanities.
