Reimagining Royal Domesticity: Locating the Gulistan Harem in the late Qajar Period
Leila Pourtavaf- New York University
Re-imagining Royal Domesticity explores the social, spatial and cultural dimensions of the women’s quarter of Nasir al-Din Shah’s court, variously referred to as his harem or andarun, during his reign (1848-1896). The presentation will offer a brief sketch of the complex structure of this institution and the everyday life of its residents—at various points estimated to be between 700 and 2000 wives and female relatives, as well as different classes of employees—from physicians and translators, to servants, maids, slaves, and eunuchs.
