Imagology is a branch of comparative literature which explores the image of one nation in the literature of another nation. One Thousand Nights and One Night is among the important books which can show the image of different nations and people such as Indians, Iranians and Arabs. Since the oldest version of the book is in Arabic, it is considered an Arabic literary work though it was translated from a Persian tale in the first place. On this basis the study of the image of Iranians in One Thousand Nights and One Night can be included under the definition of imagology. In this article, first we explain, analyze and study the image of Iranians in the book One Thousand Nights and One Night with respect to 1. anthropology (including entertainments, personification of animals, disapprobation of lies and betrayal of spouses), 2. religious and mythical beliefs (including the belief in daevas and jinnis, magic, fire-worshipping and similar plots), 3. politics (emphasizing the position of vizier and his family in government), 4. economics (emphasizing economic prosperity), then we will compare the collected information with the image of Iranians in credited works and in this way we will identify the similarities and differences of Iranians' image in One Thousand Nights and One Night and the above-said literary works. Finally we come to this conclusion that the similarities belong to the real image of Iranians in the pre-Islamic days and that differences show the image of post-Islamic Iran which is added through Arabic translation.

International audience ; Geographies of the night. This intervention invites us to explore "geographies of the night" at multiple levels, in different contexts and through different approaches. If this project seeks to map out the geographies of a particular astronomical moment in the 24-hour cycle, it also aims to reflect on the emergence of a specific branch of the discipline, one with its own concepts, methods and tools. This is both a reflection "on" the night, "with" and "through" geography and an interrogation of geography from the perspective of night. In this article, we will begin by tracing the pressures which act upon the night and have made it a present-day concern, a preoccupation of public policy and an object of research in geography and across the social sciences and humanities. In a second movement, we will analyse research on the night within the discipline and trace the emergence of an interdisciplinary field of research: "night stud-ies". Finally, we will explore the possible contributions of a "night" turn for geography. From such a perspective, the night is simultaneously a matter, an infrastructure, an object, an environment, an ambiance and a generator of research. ; Géographies de la nuit. Cet article nous invite à explorer «les géographies de la nuit »à plusieurs niveaux, dans différents contextes et selon différentes approches. Si ce projet cherche à cartographier les géographies d'un moment astronomique particulier dans le cycle de 24 heures, il vise également à réfléchir à l'émergence d'une branche spécifique du discipline, une avec ses propres concepts, méthodes et outils. C'est à la fois une réflexion «sur»la nuit, «avec» et «à travers» la géographie et une interrogation de la géographie de la perspective de la nuit. Dans cet article, nous commencerons par retracer les pressions qui agir la nuit et en faire une préoccupation actuelle, une préoccupation du public politique et un objet de recherche en géographie et dans les sciences sociales et sciences humaines.
