Tajaddod as a discourse. 330 $aIn the midst of Europe?s nineteenth-century industrial revolution, four men embarked on separate journeys to the wondrous Farangestan ? a land of fascinating objects, mysterious technologies, heavenly women, and magical spaces. Determined to learn the secret of Farangestan?s advancements, the travelers kept detailed records of their observations. These diaries mapped an aspirational path to progress for curious Iranian audiences who were eager to change the course of history. Two hundred years later, Travels in Farangi Space unpacks these writings to reveal a challenging new interpretation of Iran?s experience of modernity. This book opens the Persian travelers? long-forgotten suitcases, and analyzes the descriptions contained within to gain insight into Occidentalist perspectives on modern Europe. By carefully tracing the physical and mental journeys of these travelers, the book paints a picture of European architecture that is nothing like what one would expect. 606 $aSpace (Architecture)$zEurope$xForeign public opinion, Iranian 606 $aEast and West 606 $aTravelers' writings, Persian$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIranians$xTravel$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aIranians$vDiaries 607 $aEurope$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aIran$xIntellectual life$y19th century 610 $aamphitheatre 610 $aastleys 610 $abaillie 610 $adiving 610 $afraser 610 $agardens 610 $ajames 610 $aliterature 610 $atravelers 610 $avauxhall 615 0$aSpace (Architecture)$xForeign public opinion, Iranian. 615 0$aEast and West. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, Persian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIranians$xTravel$xHistory 615 0$aIranians 676 $a720.94/09034 700 $aVahdat Zad$b Vahid.$0995886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482021803321 996 $aOccidentalist perceptions of European architecture in nineteenth-century Persian travel diaries$92281919 997 $aUNINA
