Jean Aubin (1927-1998), historien specialiste de l'Iran pre-moderne et
de l'histoire des Portugais dans l'Ocean indien, a ete directeur
d'etudes a l'Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes et a l'Ecole des Hautes
Etudes en Sciences Sociales. Ses travaux sur la dominiation des Ilkhans,
sur l'acculturation des elites turco-mongoles, sur les reseaux
caravaniers, sur les routes et sur la litterature hagiographique ont
fait date et ont connu une large diffusion. Ils ont fait avancer la
reflexion historique sur des societes mal connues. Le style de Jean
Aubin leur redonnait la vie, notamment en geographie historique, son
domaine d'excellence. Cependant ses publications, parues dans des revues
tres diverses, sont devenues difficiles d'acces. Ce volume rassemble des
articles publies depuis une soixantaine d'annees, qui illustrent
l'aspect pionnier des reflexions de Jean Aubin sur des thematiques alors
peu etudiees par les specialistes de l'Iran.
La premiere partie du
recueil traite du rapport entre les reseaux routiers et les activites
commerciales, ainsi que de l'importance strategique des voies de
communication dans les periodes de conflits. La deuxieme partie eclaire
le role des elites religieuses et culturelles lorsque l'Iran etait sous
la domination de pouvoirs d'origine nomade. Les troisieme et quatrieme
parties concernent les Ilkhans: articles sur l'Azerbaidjan mongol, sur
les questions d'acculturation, sur l'effondrement de l'empire et enfin
l'emergence de l'Etat des Sarbadars au Khorassan.
Jean Aubin
(1927-1998), historian specialist of pre-modern Iran and of the history
of the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean, was Research Professor at Ecole
Pratique des Hautes Etudes and at the School of Advances Studies in
Social Sciences (EHESS, Paris). His work on the Ilkhan domination, on
the acculturation of the Turkic-Mongolian elites, on caravan roads and
networks, on hagiographic literature were widely spread. They have
strongly helped advance historical thinking on poorly known societies.
Jean Aubin’s style gave the latter new life, in historical geography
especially, his field of excellence. However, his publications,
dispersed in a large variety of journals, have often become of difficult
access. This volume brings together articles published for about sixty
years, which illustrate the pioneering aspect of Jean Aubin’s
reflections on themes not much studied at that time by the specialists
of Iran.
The first part of the compendium deals with the
relationship between road networks and commercial activities, as well as
with the strategic importance of communication channels in times of
conflict. The second part sheds light on the role of religious and
cultural elites when Iran was under domination of powers of nomadic
origin. The third and fourth parts concern the Ilkhans, with articles on
Mongolian Azerbaijan, questions of acculturation and the collapse of the
empire and on the emergence of the State of the Sarbadars in Khorassan.
