Description: Aesthetics and the Art of Living in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, Hardcover by Friedl, Erika, ISBN 1399536737, ISBN-13 9781399536738, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In this rare approach to half a century of ethnographic study of a pastoral ethnic community in the hinterland of Iran, the emotional and judgmental reactions local people have to conventions and customs of their own culture is in sharp focus. Th rests on a longitudinal ethnographic study of an agro-pastoral group over five decades in a remote mountain area in Iran. The effects of hard work, poverty, and lifestyle changes over the past decades have moulded people's likes and dislikes, their comforts and pains and what they deem beautiful and ugly. In the aesthetics of everyday life, social structures, traditions and local habits provide many choices for behaviour and experiences, and also for the feelings the various options allow or even provoke. This focus on the cognitive and emotive side of culture affords insights into how rural/transhumant people evaluate their life conditions, their relationships to others, to nature, to time, to religion, and thus to the aesthetic dimension of their lives over half a century of rapid change.
