This study traces the evolution of quruq-a Mongol term referring to something restricted, embargoed-from its original meaning as a royal burial or hunting ground off-limits to commoners , to what it came to signify in the late Safavid period-the embargoed, male-free and eunuch-controlled zone surrounding royal females during their appearance in the public arena.
I show how the growing incidence of quruq in 17 th-century Iran reflects the transition of the Safavid polity from a steppe dispensation to a sedentary order, turning what used to be the free-range mobility of an ambulant court into controlled mobility fit for urban royal living. The final part of the study documents how quruq persisted long beyond the safavids, only to fade in the late 19 th century.
This talk focused on two key ways in which courtly women were represented in Persian painting in the 13th and 14th Centuries. The first of these is the representation of high-ranking women as one-half of a ruling couple in depictions of contemporary courtly culture, particularly during the Ilkhanid period. Alongside these representations, examples of how Mongol cultural atmospheres afforded women greater political importance will be discussed, which can account for the appearance of this 'new' type of imagery and its relative abundance during the Ilkhanid period.
How these images were altered once Sufi mysticism was applied to Persian poetry will then be explored. Sorry, preview is currently unavailable. You can download the paper by clicking the button above.
