The Iranian city experienced a major transformation when the
Pahlavi Dynasty initiated a project of modernization in the 1920s.
The Rite of Urban Passage investigates this process by focusing on
the spatial dynamics of Muharram processions, a ritual that
commemorates the tragic massacre of Hussein and his companions in
680 CE. In doing so, this volume offers not only an alternative
approach to understanding the process of urban transformation, but
also a spatial genealogy of Muharram rituals that provides a
platform for developing a fresh spatial approach to ritual studies.
