Notes
- Abstract:
- A film produced by Professor Almut Hintze, Zartoshty Brothers Professor of Zoroastrianism, and Dr Céline Redard, Postdoctoral Researcher in Avestan Studies, on Parsi villages in rural Southern Gujarat has been used by the World Zoroastrian Organisation (WZO) to aid its fundraising efforts. The film helps to capture the harsh conditions in which many families live in the rural areas of this region and also show the work being done by The WZO Trust Funds to help improve their everyday lives.
- General Note:
- Film produced and made available, originally on YouTube, 12 February 2019. Travels depicted occured approximate to 30 January 2019.
- General Note:
- Professor Hintze leads a team of international researchers exploring the performance and written transmission of the core ritual of the Zoroastrian tradition, the Yasna.
- General Note:
- MUYA is the Multimedia Yasna (MUYA) project, which examines the performance and written transmission of the core ritual of the Zoroastrian tradition, the Yasna, whose oldest parts date from the second millennium BCE. Composed in an ancient Iranian language, Avestan, the texts were transmitted orally and not written down until the fifth or sixth century C.E. The oral tradition continues to be central to the religion and the daily Yasna ceremony, the most important of all the rituals, is recited from memory by Zoroastrian priests. The interpretation of the Yasna has long been hampered by out-dated editions and translations of the text and until now there has been no documentation and study of the performance of the full ritual. The project MUYA will examine both the oral and written traditions. It will film a performance of the Yasna ritual and create a critical edition of the recitation text examining the Yasna both as a performance and as a text attested in manuscripts. The two approaches will be integrated to answer questions about the meaning and function of the Yasna in a historical perspective. -- Based at SOAS, University of London and funded by the European Research Council (ERC) with an Advanced Investigator Grant (2016-2021), this multi-disciplinary, international project has as its focus the Yasna - the core ritual of the Zoroastrian religion.
