Mirza Agha Tabrizi and the Politics of Aesthetics

Author

Abstract

Up to now, studies of Mirza Agha Tabrizi's works (a pioneer of Iranian drama) have been carried out from the perspective of the evolutionary history of drama in Iran. But this paper explores the enlightening aspects of these texts about social life in Iran before the Constitutional Revolution. Furthermore, the present study discovers a potentially aesthetic revolution in these works. By making a link between sociology and aesthetics, this paper tries to emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge.
