About the Book

Die Stadt Herat und ihre Einbettung in die historische Provinz Khurasan in Ost-Iran stehen im Zentrum dieses Buches, das den Wandel regionaler Strukturen und ihrer Wahrnehmung im Ubergang von der fruhen Neuzeit zur Moderne zum Gegenstand hat. Anhand persischer Primarquellen wird die Wechselwirkung zwischen politischem Geschehen, kulturellem Gedachtnis und Raumvorstellungen nachgezeichnet. Zu Beginn des Betrachtungszeitraums fungiert Herat als die Hauptstadt des Timuridenreichs, und die Region wird unter den Vorzeichen politischer und spiritueller Zentralitat wie auch wirtschaftlicher Blute thematisiert. Die folgenden Jahrhunderte bis zur Eingliederung Herats in das heutige Afghanistan sind von einem graduellen Verlust dieser Vorrangstellung gepragt. Entsprechend verlagert sich das Gewicht der Quellen von verwaltungstechnischer und landschaftsmalerischer Detailfreude zu grosseren strategischen und okologischen Zusammenhangen, die die gesamte Provinz Khurasan betreffen. Mit den Grenzziehungen und der Aufteilung der Region zwischen Iran, Afghanistan und Transkaspien im spaten 19. Jahrhundert werden ehemals elastische Territorialvorstellungen durch hierarchische und zentralistische Staatsentwurfe ersetzt. Die Analyse der Inwertsetzung Khurasans durch politische und literarische Akteure uber einen langen Zeitraum verdeutlicht die Tragweite dieser Veranderung und eroffnet neue Perspektiven fur die Erforschung regionaler Macht- und Raumgefuge.
