Abstract

Abstract Among the significant contributions that religious rituals make are the production and reproduction of the identity and culture for the residents of a society. Some of the factors emphasizing the importance of examining the formation and modification of mourning rites of Afghan refugees include the marginalization of the Afghan refugee community in Mashhad, the need for creating a social network for identity restoration, and the impact of the mourning ritual on the production and sustainability of this social category. This study investigates the transformations in the mourning Muharram rituals among the Afghans residing in Mashhad and evaluating the relation of these transformations with the host societies. In this study, 12 Afghan immigrants living in Golshar (an area in Mashhad, were selected to participate in interviews. Given the cultural sensitivities of the geographical setting, it is vital to note that these participants were all male. The results of the study demonstrate considerable qualitative and quantitative transformation in the mourning ceremonies.

居住在伊朗(马什哈德)的阿富汗人穆哈兰哀悼仪式的变化

宗教仪式的重要贡献之一是为一个社会的居民生产和再生产身份和文化。一些因素强调了审查阿富汗难民哀悼仪式的形成和修改的重要性，包括马什哈德阿富汗难民社区的边缘化，需要建立一个恢复身份的社会网络，以及哀悼仪式对这一社会类别的产生和可持续性的影响。本研究调查了居住在马什哈德的阿富汗人在穆哈兰哀悼仪式上的转变，并评估了这些转变与东道国社会的关系。在这项研究中，12名居住在Golshar(马什哈德的一个地区)的阿富汗移民被选中参加访谈。鉴于地理环境的文化敏感性，必须注意到这些参与者都是男性。研究结果表明，丧礼在质和量上发生了相当大的变化。
