ハーメネイー体制下における法学権威と学知システムの変容 : 国家による宗教制度への政治的影響力をめぐる考察

Abstract

Several weeks after the death of Aya Allah al-‘Uzma ‘Ali Araki in November 1994, Supreme Leader ‘Ali Khamene’i was promoted by the two Iranian Islamic jurist groups as one of the recommended maraja‘-e taqlid (“sources of emulation, ” the title of the highest-educated Islamic jurisconsults). This event has had an impact on not only the marja‘-e taqlid system but also the relationship between political authority and religious authority in post-Khomeini Iran. Although many researchers have referred to this event, only a few have examined its subsequent influence on both Iranian politics and the marja‘-e taqlid system in Iran. In this paper, I will attempt to reveal the infl uence of this event on the marja‘-e taqlid system in Iran in two ways. First, I will illustrate the character of the new marja‘-e taqlid concept that was developed by the two associations, focusing on not only the intermittent aspect but also the continuous relationship between the marja‘-e taqlid system and the two associations’ announcements. Second, by focusing on the location of Khamene’i as a marja‘-e taqlid in 2008, I will show the influence of this new marja‘-e taqlid concept on the development of the marja‘-e taqlid system in Iran after the 1994 event.
