Abstract

This paper deconstructs the ways the image of Fāṭima Zarrīn-Tāj Baraghānī, known as Tahirih Qurrat al-ʿAyn (d. 1852), has been distorted in academic works and in anti-Bahā’ī polemics. The misrepresentations of Tahirih in these works range from disconnecting her from the source of her inspiration, to accusations of immorality, to denying her knowledge, to denying her poetry, to depicting her as a militant figure. It is suggested that misogyny, religious prejudice, selective as well as uncritical use of primary sources, and agenda driven scholarship explain the misrepresentations.

遮住塔希里古兰经艾因形象的层层面纱

本文解构了学术著作和反巴哈伊论战中歪曲法蒂玛-扎里恩-塔吉-巴拉哈尼（Tahirih Qurrat al-ʿAyn，卒于 1852 年）形象的方式。这些作品中对塔希里赫的歪曲包括：将她与灵感来源割裂开来、指责她不道德、否认她的知识、否认她的诗歌、将她描绘成好战人物。有人认为，对女性的误解、宗教偏见、对原始资料的选择性使用和不加批判的使用，以及学术议程的驱动，都是造成这些歪曲的原因。
