Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the medieval Persian Sufi tradition and the works of Att r, this interdisciplinary study explores the themes of transgression and subjectivity, revealing their significance in both historical and modern contexts. It challenges traditional hierarchies by comparing Persian and European literatures, emphasizing how Att r's insights on enlightenment intersect with issues of class, religion, gender, and sexuality. The author argues that these concepts are not merely modern but can illuminate past understandings, suggesting that medieval texts offer valuable perspectives on contemporary identity and human diversity.
