گاهشماری خورشیدی و پایداری نوروز در هویت فرهنگی ایران الفارسية 1447

This book examines the relationship between the Iranian solar calendar, collective memory, and national identity. Abbas Amanat explores how the solar calendar, especially the Jalali calendar and its later modernization, has shaped Iranian cultural and historical consciousness. Through the study of traditions such as Nowruz and the decline of festivals like Mehregan, the author analyzes how time, memory, and shared rituals contribute to the continuity of Iranian identity.
