Abstract

The Great Persian Famine of 1917–1919 is one of the greatest calamities in the history of Iran. While some scholarly work has explored the causes and dynamics of the famine, less attention has been paid to its memorialisation. This paper aims to understand how the Great Persian Famine is remembered – or not – in public and personal spheres in Iran. Discussing the historical events that have been silenced, neglected or publicly recognised and commemorated before and after the Islamic Revolution, the paper focusses on the processes that hinder public and private memorialising of hunger violence. Drawing on existing literature, personal diaries, artistic representations, and interviews with persons whose parents or grandparents experienced the Great Persian Famine, we discuss why it has not figured prominently in the national historiography or commemorative practices, except during a brief period (2008–2013) when it found its way into the prevailing political discourse.
帝国战争和饥饿的暴力:记住和忘记1917-1919年的波斯大饥荒
1917-1919年的波斯大饥荒是伊朗历史上最大的灾难之一。虽然一些学术工作已经探讨了饥荒的原因和动态,但很少有人关注它的纪念。本文旨在了解伊朗的公共和个人领域是如何记住波斯大饥荒的。本文讨论了在伊斯兰革命前后被沉默、忽视或被公众承认和纪念的历史事件,重点讨论了阻碍公共和私人纪念饥饿暴力的过程。根据现有文献、个人日记、艺术表现以及对父母或祖父母经历过波斯大饥荒的人的采访,我们讨论了为什么它没有在国家史学或纪念实践中占据突出地位,除了在一段短暂的时期(2008-2013年),它发现了进入主流政治话语的方式。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
