The BBC piece, full of cartoons from the magazine, painted a picture of the publication as poking fun at conservative Muslim and Christian traditions and a society where women\u2019s rights were nonexistent. Grant told the audience in the Walker-Ames room that the BBC\u2019s portrayal of the journal experience is typical of modern day coverage of it, but in fact <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> was about much more than just laughter.<br \/>\nInstead, it was about sense-making through imperial rule, centralized authority and other upheaval in the Caucasus. The satirical journal continually tackled difficult topics through \u201cindirect speech, ambiguities, and of course laughter,\u201d Grant said.<br \/>\nA specialist in cultural history and politics in the former Soviet Union, Siberia and the Caucasus, Grant focused his scholarly work on Azerbaijan in the 1990s when people in the region had to come to grips with a phenomenon he calls \u201crupture of signification\u201d especially in scenes of violence. To illustrate the term, Grant gave a vivid example of an anecdote from his own memory: A human rights activist was stabbed in front of witnesses, but was told by authorities he was the one who did the stabbing and was jailed for the assault.<br \/>\nThis disconnect between experienced reality and authoritative speech is not specific to Azerbaijan, Grant noted, referring to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-31669061\">the killing of a Russian opposition politician<\/a> just hours before the lecture he gave.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3639\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 180px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3639 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/ellisoncenter.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_3703-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3703\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anthropologist Bruce Grant was the speaker for the annual Donald W. Treadgold Memorial Lecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>The goals of the Molla Nasreddin research<\/strong><br \/>\nGrant\u2019s current research looks at the role of satire in authoritarian settings. He outlined for the audience the two themes of this work:<br \/>\nFocus on the journal \u2013 published in a little-studied part of the world; and its founder, Jalil Mammadguluzadeh, who has been \u201cmore celebrated than analyzed.\u201d<br \/>\nNot all satire is the same \u2013 Grant wanted to examine <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> because of its context, the magazine was published in \u201ctimes of rapid social upheaval\u201d in Azerbaijan.<br \/>\nThe magazine\u2019s name comes from the humorous stories of the adventures of Nasreddin, a mullah famous throughout the Middle East and Central Asia and to this day \u201cthe world of Molla Nasreddin remains largely oral,\u201d Grant said.<br \/>\nGrant\u2019s work reveals a more complex illustration of the magazine and its founding editor than the BBC article paints. According to Grant, \u201cany reader trying to make too much sense of the journal may be too hasty.\u201d Despite its often cited offenses of the Ottoman Sultan or Iranian Imams that got its editor in serious trouble with authorities, \u201cthe vast majority of the images were milder,\u201d Grant said. On the one hand the magazine ran cartoons of donkeys poking fun at people in power, portraying their high social standing obtained with minimal effort. Yet, Grant pointed out, <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> remained a \u201csteady ally to the government\u201d when it came to promoting education. Indeed, when the Soviet Union took over in the 1920s, the magazine grew tamer, Grant explained.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3638\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 411px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3638\" src=\"http:\/\/ellisoncenter.washington.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_3695-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3695\" width=\"411\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grant&#8217;s lecture was also the keynote lecture of the Soyuz Symposium which was also being hosted concurrently by the Ellison Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Jalil Mammadguluzadeh \u2013 founder, editor and columnist<\/strong><br \/>\nThe complex identity of the magazine is reflective of its founder\u2019s own enigmatic personality. Grant told the audience how one woman in Azerbaijan described the satirist to him: \u201cJalil Mammadguluzadeh is a special kind of animal. Everyone admires him but a bit cautiously. If you look too closely you could get bitten.\u201d<br \/>\nMammadguluzadeh\u2019s political views ranged widely. He resisted labels of his journal or himself as a secularist. Yet, he joined the Soviet Party and even ran for local office.<br \/>\nEven how the <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> editor died remains a subject of popular speculation, Grant found out during his field work in Azerbaijan. According to local historians and newspaper archives, Mammadguluzadeh died in January 1932, but today people still resist this storyline. Just last summer, Grant said, he spoke with an Azerbaijani undergraduate student who insisted that Mammadguluzadeh was taken by authorities in April 1932 and shot dead, a popular version of the writer\u2019s demise.<br \/>\n<strong><em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em>\u2019s modern-day legacy<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Molla Nasreddin\u2019s<\/em> story is not just a case of the pen being mightier than the sword, Grant told the audience in Kane Hall, nor is it about satire alone. Instead, it is the story of embracing contradiction from the start. Both the founder and his satirical magazine were much more complex and nuanced than they are portrayed as today. Yet, their legacy remains very much alive long after the magazine closed its doors. <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> is on Facebook, stories of him persist in the oral traditions of the region, and versions of the donkeys-in-power satire circulate online.<br \/>\nIn 2009, Western-educated online activists uploaded a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Aaecvg7xCIk&amp;eurl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.rferl.org%252Fcontent%252FDonkey_Satire_In_Azerbaijan%252F1774005.html&amp;feature=player_embedded\">satirical video<\/a> to YouTube in which a person in a donkey consume gave a press conference. The video creators were arrested on hooliganism charges in Azerbaijan\u2019s capital Baku. Such modern manifestations of the satirical legacy of the <em>Molla Nasreddin<\/em> magazine have caught the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/07\/15\/world\/asia\/15azerbaijan.html?_r=3&amp;\">attention of the West<\/a>. (Also, see UW Assistant Professor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.com.washington.edu\/pearce\/\">Katy Pearce<\/a>\u2019s work on social media, humor, and authoritarianism in Azerbaijan.)<br \/>\nGrant concluded the lecture with a nod to Mammadguluzadeh and his colleagues whose challenge to authorities echoes into modern day. The artists and editors of the journal, Grant said, took the South Caucasus region that has historically been considered as the periphery of other, more important places, \u201cand endowed it with a bold centrality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the memory of the Charlie Hebdo shooting still raw, the BBC ran a story about a daring satirical magazine that ran from 1906 until 1931 in Azerbaijan.
