-Kashan – Crossroads of Commerce and Culture | Prof. Dr. Roy Mottahedeh
Thursday, 3 March 2022, 6:30 pm (CET)

Language: English
The arrival of substantial numbers of Arab immigrants in Kashan in the early Islamic period played an important role in the city’s development and its continuation as a centre of Shīʻism. A strong educational tradition produced many talented Kashani officials who served in the Seljuk and later administrations.
In the Seljuk period Kashan gained a reputation for its production of luxury ceramics, including its lustre ware and pictorial mīnā’ī ware.
Roy Parviz Mottahedeh has a PhD in History (1969) from Harvard University and taught Islamic history at Princeton (1970-86) and at Harvard (1986-2016). He has been the Gurney Research Professor at Harvard from 2016 to the present and is the author of several books, including Der Mantel des Propheten.

-The Rituals of the Zoroastrians from Antiquity to the Present Day | Prof. Dr. Alberto Cantera
Thursday, 10 March 2022, 6:30 pm (CET)
Webex link: https://spk-berlin.webex.com/spk-berlin/j.php?MTID=mc5c488d74435198e43428e2f45f9dc8c
Language: English
Zoroastrian rituals are still accompanied by the recitation of texts in Avestic, an ancient Iranian language, in India, Iran and the diaspora. These texts were probably written before the 5th century BCE for the performance of similar rituals. Zoroastrianism is thus characterised by one of the longest ritual continuities in the world.
The lecture will discuss the arguments that support this thesis, contrary to the previously held position that rituals were reinvented in Late Antiquity.
Alberto Cantera is a professor at the Institute for Iranian Studies at the Free University of Berlin. The Avestic texts, their transmission and their performance in the Zoroastrian rituals are the focus of his research.
