Flourishing of Occidentalism in Iran After Cultural Revolution*

Modernite, toplum çıkarlarını değiştirdi; bireysellik ve liberal demokrasiyi idealize ederek dini insan hayatının dışına itmeye başladı. Batı Hıristiyanlığı kendini moderniteyle ayarlayarak geli- şimini sağladı, Hâlbuki İslam sadece Kuran tarafından gerçekleri doğruladığı ölçüde kabul gördü. Bugün Oryantalizm oksidantalizm ve İslamcılık çeşitli bağlamlarda etkileyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Oksidentalizm Doğunun kimliğini güçlendirmek için yardımcı bir rol üstlenmektedir. Bu çalışma, insanlar ve kültürler arasındaki güç ilişkisini değerlendirmektedir. Roller ve kimlikler tarih boyunca değişiyor. Günümüzde İslam kültürü popüler bir konu haline gelmiştir. Yani, İslam dünyası ve İslam kültürünün canlanması Oksidentalizmin başlangıcıdır. Oksidentalizm doğuda gelişerek batıyı batılı olmayan Dünya noktasından araştırmaktadır. Arap dünyasında kimlik canlanması olarak (isteghrab için) Hasan Hanefi veya Talibanian veya ISIS Oksidentalistler tarafından Arap kültürü, Wahhabicilik veya uyanmasıyla ifade edilebilir. Bütün bu uyandırıcı hareketler İslamcılığı ideoloji olarak ele almaktadır. Bu makalede, İran Kültür Devriminden sonra İran Oksidentalizm canlanmasını ele almaktadır

İran Kültür Devrimi nden Sonra İran Oksidentalizm Canlanması

Modernity changed the community interests; it idealized individuality and liberal democracy, and based its main aim on pushing religion to the outskirts of human life. Western Christianity adjusted to modernity to justify the developments while Islam accepted it only to the extent of its capacity to authenticate the realities stated by the Qur an. Orientalism, Occidentalism, and Islamism play impressive role in a variety of contexts today. Occidentalism in its popular variety helps to reinforce the identities. This study considers the power relationship between people and cultures. The roles and the identities are changing throughout history. Nowadays Islamic culture is one of popular subjects to study on. So, the Muslim world and revival of Islamic culture are the beginning of Occidentalism. Occidentalism is developed in the Orient in order to study the West from a non-Western World point of view. It can be referred as revival of identity (for isteghrab) in Arab world by Hasan Hanafi or Talibanian or ISIS Occidentalists movements which stand for empowering Arab culture, Wahhabism or Salafism. All are revivalist movements to rapture Islamism as an ideology. This article tries to focus on the concept of Occidentalism in Iran after Iran Cultural Revolution.
