- More about The Rite of Urban Passage: The Spatial Ritualization of Iranian Urban Transformation
The Pahlavi Dynasty's modernization project in the 1920s transformed the Iranian city, and the Rite of Urban Passage explores this transformation through the spatial dynamics of Muharram processions. It offers an alternative approach to understanding urban transformation and provides a spatial genealogy of Muharram rituals.

The Iranian city of Tehran underwent a significant transformation during the 1920s when the Pahlavi Dynasty embarked on a modernization project. The Rite of Urban Passage delves into this process by examining the spatial dynamics of Muharram processions, a ritual that commemorates the tragic massacre of Hussein and his companions in 680 CE. By exploring these rituals, the volume not only presents an alternative perspective on urban transformation but also contributes to the spatial genealogy of Muharram rituals, offering a foundation for developing a novel spatial approach to ritual studies.
