Here, we emphasize the word \"culture,\" and it is likely that we will study works that do not fall under the conventional categories of \"art.\" We draw the readers' attention to the fact that existing and accepted theories of art history explain a specific kind of human artistic and cultural products. These theories are well-suited to the history of Christian European art, but applying them to other contexts is inappropriate and, more importantly, unproductive.\n\n\n\nWhereas our subject fundamentally involves examining the development of a specific type of awareness that has emerged in this region and is reflected in its culture and art.\n\n\n\nIn Western historiography in general, and consequently in its subfields such as \"art history,\" the approach to the East and its early civilizations is typically as a prelude to the rise of Greek civilization, which is regarded as the mother of Western civilization. Titles such as \"The Orient, Cradle of Civilization\" and similar expressions indicate how the West perceives itself as the heir to a civilization that was born in the East and then transferred to Greece. With such logic, it is natural that in existing art histories, what happened during this period in the Iranian Plateau, India, Egypt, and Mesopotamia is treated merely as a few pages of introduction to the entirety of this history. We must be aware that a period which might be considered an introduction or background for others was, for what later manifested as the \"culture of Iran,\" a vital and decisive era spanning several millennia. 1\n\n\n\nStatue of Queen Napir-Asu, Bronze with a layer of gold and copper, Elamite Civilization, 1200 BCE\n\n\n\nFrom this perspective, our focus on this ancient period is significant and..."}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebSite","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-website-site","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required s=search_term_string"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-organization-brand","url":"https://herfeh-honarmand.com","name":"\u062d\u0631\u0641\u0647: \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0645\u0646\u062f","description":"\u0646\u0634\u0631\u06cc\u0647 \u0647\u0646\u0631\u0647\u0627\u06cc \u062a\u0635\u0648\u06cc\u0631\u06cc","sameAs":["https://www.instagram.com/herfeh.honarmand/","https://twitter.com/herfehhonarmand","https://t.me/herfeh_honarmand","https://www.youtube.com/@herfeh.honarmand"]}}{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"WebPage","@id":"herfeh-honarmand.com-webpage-english-articlesintroduction-to-the-history-of-art-and-culture-in-iran","url":"http://herfeh-honarmand.com/english-articles/introduction-to-the-history-of-art-and-culture-in-iran/","name":"Lecture Five: The Formation of Iranshahr Thought and Culture","about":"An Introduction to the History of Art and Culture of Iran Ariasp Dadbeh In the beginning of this chapter, it might be necessary to briefly touch upon the topic of the place of “cultural heritage” in the perspective we are pursuing in these lectures.
