ABSTRACT

This study examines the ways in which various aspects of Turkish modernity, including gender reforms and nation-building, were reconstructed by the Berlin Circle, whose members were the ideologues of nationalist authoritarian modernization in Iran. To this end, I analyzed texts published between 1923 and 25 in Iranshahr and Nameye Farangestan, two important periodicals of the Berlin Circle. The results of this study show that while gender reforms were welcomed, longingly desired [hasrat], and upheld as a lesson [ibrat], Turkish nationalism was mostly perceived as a threat [tahdid]. This decentralized and horizontal view towards Turkish modernity suggests that its reconstructed image served to transfer and propagate different messages that implied the possibility of modernization reforms in an Islamic country like Iran and induced anxieties to push Iranian society to an imagined ideal future.

摘要

本研究考察了柏林圈重建土耳其现代性的各个方面的方式，包括性别改革和国家建设，柏林圈的成员是伊朗民族主义威权现代化的理论家。为此，我分析了 1923 年至 25 年间在柏林圈的两个重要期刊Iranshahr和Nameye Farangstan 上发表的文本。这项研究的结果表明，虽然性别改革受到欢迎、渴望 [ hasrat ] 并被视为教训 [ ibrat ]，但土耳其民族主义大多被视为一种威胁 [ tahdid]]。这种对土耳其现代性的分散和横向的看法表明，其重建的形象有助于传递和传播不同的信息，这些信息暗示了伊朗这样的伊斯兰国家现代化改革的可能性，并引发了将伊朗社会推向想象中的理想未来的焦虑。
