Popis: Contains fulltext : 215097.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The way a people narrates major historical events is intimately related to the way it perceives its own identity. Emic coherence is coherence and cohesion in the self-description of a people’s identity, its presentation to the outside world. It encompasses the self-representation of identity in the present and in the past. History is an integral of part of a peoples’ identity. Fereydani Georgians are only a segment of the larger Georgian population of Iran. This chapter deals with the mechanisms by which Fereydani Georgians reaffirm their Shi’ite identity in harmony with the wider and general Iranian Georgians’ role in Iranian history. Furthermore, this chapter will discuss a few alternative and non-hegemonic narratives and representations of Fereydani Georgian identity and history.
