Rohi Journal Article 2016 08 05 If we forget about some serious works on the history of Iran, we will notice that most of the theories in this field are highly influenced by orientalism. These paradigms which are in the tradition of history of philosophy, inevitably, see Iran's history in the mirror of state and therefore, pay no attention to local and non-governmental phenomena. It generally assumed that the history of Persian kings is the history of Iran and consequently, our history is analysed based on the events that occurred in the palaces. In the article, I attempt to put those approaches away and use new ones that stress the local and non-governmental events, especially in Kurdestan of Iran. In other words, I try to deconstruct the formal history writing and re-read the history of "the moment". Given that it is a first step in this field, it is going to be hard work. In this paper, it is assumed that there is a gap between pre-modern and modern eras in Iran. To gather the data, I used the documentary method.
