Résumé
"The main purpose of this study is to illustrate the interconnections between the local culture and vernacular architecture of the Iranian town of Masulih. My research will explore the connections between the rituals, artifacts, and beliefs of the inhabitants of Masulih and their distinctive vernacular architecture in order to demonstrate that the landscape of Masulih is a powerful symbolic-ritual space that represents their identity. The cultural production of Masulih's inhabitants forms an essential part of their identity. It includes the settlement pattern, architecture, and material culture such as blacksmithing, shoemaking, baking, carpentry and textiles. I argue that in order to understand the cultural specificities of place, one needs to focus holistically on cultural phenomena. My approach therefore requires an examination of the everyday activities of people, their rituals, beliefs, artifacts and the built environment."--
