Abstract

Nationalism in the framework of new definitions and influenced by the West is one of the important discourses of contemporary Iranian political and social thought, which was considered by familiar Western thinkers during the 19th century and mainly from the Nasserite era onwards and became quite apparent in the Pahlavi era. Nationalism has various elements and forms in the period under discussion, including archeology, which is associated with a strong attachment to the heritage of the pre-Islamic Iran. Accordingly, the analysis of the relationship between archaism and nationalism and in the more general perspective of nationalism based on archaism and its differences with other forms of nationalism and its consequences is the main issue discussed in this article. Thus, the present study has tried to clarify the dimensions of the subject by analyzing the content of resources related to the library method, by answering the basic research questions in the field of the connection between archeology and nationalism. On the one hand, the research findings show that in addition to the elites of the familiar West, the Persians of India also played an important role in shaping the idea of ​​Archaism and combining it with nationalism. On the other hand, archaism has basically distinguished between the two discourses of nationalism focused on the present and the existing realities and relatively emotional and past nationalism in this period.
