Paperback. Condition: New. The athletes known in Iran as pahlavans and the domed structure, the zurkhaneh, where they congregate to practice ritualized martial arts, physical culture, and spirituality, are usually presented as the cornerstone of traditional Iranian masculine identity. However, this idealization does not do justi…ce to the complex history of Iranian society.Philippe Rochard, who has observed the zurkhaneh world for the past thirty years and actually lived in it for over four years, sets out to reveal through his own experience and a reconsideration of the extant historiography the various identities-real or imagined-of the zurkhaneh, its role within ancient and contemporary Iranian society, and the intimate mechanisms of the male societies that frequent it, as well as the moral and social values-real or simply proclaimed-that the athletes embody.This immersive study gives us an opportunity to observe at close quarters the workings of a sporting passion and way of life, and to discover how the forms and norms of the staging of the self and of the group have evolved in Iran.
