Abstract

Huraman is a geographically mountainous and impassable region where people lifestyle has remained surreptitious and unknown. As a result, it has attracted the attention of researchers in local historical, socio-historical, ethnographical, and anthropological fields. We do not have any historical information concerning Huraman people’s social and ethnic practices of life. However, the oral and written literature can pave the way for a socio-historical approach in analyzing the social life of the people. In these types of studies, analysis and discussion of people social life is not possible unless we employ non-historical resources, in particular literature. This article addresses the question of how Huraman people lived during Qajar and the First Pahlavi eras. In this regard, attempts were made to present a cultural and historical analysis of Huraman residents’ life during Qajar and First Pahlavi eras via reading the text of poetical works of Mollah Hassan Dezli. The research method is descriptive-analytic. At first, the data related to the terminologies of food and clothes were gathered and extracted from the collection of the poetical works of Mollah Hassan Dezli. Next, the collected data was categorized in order to evaluate the cultural condition and lifestyle as well as everyday life of Huraman residents throughout the mentioned eras. Our findings revealed that in spite of the existing variety of food and clothes, Huraman residents were deprived of such a variety and there was a noticeable gag.
