The Moment

Chapter 1 considers the formation and organization of the kingdom of the Deirans during the period 450–650 as a context for conversion. It reconstructs the formation of the kingdom, and the social institutions and religious beliefs of its population, from a combination of fifth- to seventh-century mortuary archaeology and early eighth-century histories. It observes that the kingdom developed from processes of migration, social stratification, political centralization, ethnogenesis, and expansion, which were still under way at the moment of conversion. It emphasizes that social organization was based on local free kin groups whose social position was uncertain, whose social status was projected through pre-Christian religious beliefs, and through whom kings operated with limited authority and power. It suggests that the social strategies of these kin groups and this political context shaped the decision to convert and the social process of conversion.

The Social

In Chapter 1, I offered a contemporary theory of how indirect satire works, focusing on the social process of meaning-making required by this type of satirical work with reference to other recent theoretical works that emphasize the social functions of satire. To conclude, I would like to reverse my chronology to consider the theories and values underlying indirect forms of satire in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In developing this argument, we cannot take satirical poets at their word regarding their intentions or methods because of the repeated assertions during this time period—many of which I have quoted in this book—advising the reader against reading allegorically and claiming that only general criticisms are intended....

This research aims to explain the influence of law on the social dynamics of society. The method used in this research is normative legal research. One of the sciences that studies the social dynamics of society is the Sociology of Law. Every dynamic that occurs as a result of social change requires a legal response. Social dynamics is a general phenomenon that occurs throughout the ages in every society, changes that occur in accordance with the nature and nature of humans who always want to make changes. The occurrence of social dynamics is influenced by several factors, including law, technology, community structure, culture, an open system of social stratification, and advanced education. Community institutions are considered truly valid if their norms fully assist the implementation of social patterns. The system of social layers can occur by itself or is deliberately structured to pursue a common goal. Legal coercion in the implementation of social institutions that apply as regulations is not always used. Instead, the emphasis is on the coercion of society.

From the point of view of Durkheim, institutions are ways of acting, feeling and thinking, expressing any social act. Institutions have stringent action on the individual, have its own existence, independent of individual manifestations, which are distinctive for a given group, being accepted by all members. Types of social institutions are economic institutions, educational, political, cultural and family. Within institutions, communication is an inherent phenomenon.For Katz and Kahn "communication is a social process of great relevance to the functioning of each group, organization or society," the very essence of the social system or organization. The organizational structure provides stability for human communication and facilitates administrative tasks. (Rogers Everett M. and Agarwala-Rogers Rekha, 1976, p. 6). Therefore, an effective institutional communication adds value to any institution.

Chapter 3 investigates the impact of the formation of the ‘ecclesiastical aristocracy’ on kingship. It uses eighth-century histories, and eighth- and ninth-century annals, letters, poems, and coins, to consider transformations in kingship. It suggests that the formation of the ‘ecclesiastical aristocracy’ conditioned the chronology of official conversion: a generation or two after political centralization, kin groups began pursuing conversion as a social strategy; kings reacted first to the emergence of a political constituency of converts amongst the Deirans and then a generation later to the conversion of the majority of kin groups. It argues that the social process of conversion required powerful political arguments and public demonstrations of religious change. It observes that the socio-political context made episcopal sees and churches less attractive than religious communities, and produced enthusiastic investment in religious communities followed by instability in kingship and expropriation of religious communities.

Chapter 2 charts the formation and dynamics of a new social fraction amongst the Deirans—the ‘ecclesiastical aristocracy’. It uses early eighth-century histories to consider the relationship between the social uncertainties faced by members of local free kin groups and the utility of conversion as a social strategy, and to explore the identity of those who entered the church. It suggests that conversion was a gradual social process, beginning before the official conversion of the Deirans and proceeding over two to three generations, as those born and brought up as Christians entered the church and made manifest the value of conversion as a social strategy. It argues that the ‘ecclesiastical aristocracy’ had a distinctive social identity, but one whose reproduction was resource intensive and fragile.

Research objectives: The main purpose of this article is to study the Quranic inscription of the Imamzadeh Ma’sum Temple in Maragheh. This inscription shows the evolution of religious beliefs during the Ilkhanid period in Iran which started from the se­venth century AH and continued until the eighth century AH. The main religions of the Ilkhanid rulers were Buddhism and Christianity, but they gradually adopted Islam as the official religion of government. The influence of the process of conversion has left traces in some of the inscriptions of this period. Another purpose of this study is to introduce the Imamzadeh Ma’sum temple as one of the Buddhist temples in Iran. Research materials: In this study, the authors have used two methods, namely field research and library surveys. Regarding the first method, the temple of Imamzadeh Ma’sum was examined. Regarding the second method, the historical sources of the Ilkhanid period, such as the Jami’ al-tawarikh of Khajeh Rashid al-Din Faḍlullah Hamadani, were used. These works refers to the situation of Buddhists in Iran during the Ilkhanid period (i.e. the seventh century AH). Results and novelty of the research: The results of the authors’ research in this article have demonstrated that the temple of Imamzadeh Ma’sum of Maragheh was one of the Buddhist temples in Iran. This Buddhist temple was changed to an Islamic mosque after the conversion of Ghazan Khan in 694 AH. The surviving Qur’anic inscription inside the buil­ding refers to the victory of Islam over Buddhism.

Normative Criteria

AbstractAccording to Dewey, normative criteria are a part of the social process and insofar a process themselves. These criteria have to be reflected and reformulated in new situations in which new social problems occur. The democratic public is in this conception the realm in which a common elucidation of problematic social consequences of the existing institutions takes place and in which proposals for the overcoming of these consequences are formulated. Thereby it reconstructs the central norms embedded within the social institutions and shows how collective actions guided by these norms leads to problematic social consequences. This is then the background for a critical reflection on and a reformulation of the guiding norms of these institutions. To realize such a form of collective self-determination the democratic public has to be extended to all forms of social cooperation.
