  • Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran
    Negotiating a Position: Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran Parmis Mozafari Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Music January 2011 The candidate confIrms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2011 The University of Leeds Parmis Mozafari Acknowledgment I would like to express my gratitude to ORSAS scholarship committee and the University of Leeds Tetly and Lupton funding committee for offering the financial support that enabled me to do this research. I would also like to thank my supervisors Professor Kevin Dawe and Dr Sita Popat for their constructive suggestions and patience. Abstract This research examines the changes in conditions of music and dance after the 1979 revolution in Iran. My focus is the restrictions imposed on women instrumentalists, dancers and singers and the ways that have confronted them. I study the social, religious, and political factors that cause restrictive attitudes towards female performers. I pay particular attention to changes in some specific musical genres and the attitudes of the government officials towards them in pre and post-revolution Iran. I have tried to demonstrate the emotional and professional effects of post-revolution boundaries on female musicians and dancers. Chapter one of this thesis is a historical overview of the position of female performers in pre-modern and contemporary Iran.

  • The Art of State Persuasion: Iran's Post-Revolutionary
    Persica 22, 1-13. doi: 10.2143/PERS.22.0.2034398 © 2008 by Persica. All rights reserved. THE ART OF STATE PERSUASION: IRAN’S POST-REVOLUTIONARY MURALS H.E. Chehabi & Fotini Christia Largely ignored by Western visitors for almost three decades, Tehran is the puzzling capital of an increasingly powerful and defi ant Iran. Vast and densely populated, this Middle Eastern megalopolis makes for a rich urban topography, its mystique amplifi ed by a shroud of chronic smog.1 Though landscape stimulants competing for the visitor’s atten- tion abound — be they fl ashy billboards, colorful posters, or catchy advertisements —, none are more gripping for the foreign visitor than the city’s murals.2 Cast across Tehran’s prominent avenues, on both private and public buildings, the murals constitute dominant fi xtures of the city’s visual space. Varying in color, genre, and symbolism, they are of distinctive artistic style, painted and brought to life by regime-sanctioned artists. Though Iran’s propaganda culture has been a subject of academic inquiry,3 mural images per se had not been systematically presented to Western audiences until the spring of 2007. At a time when Iran was making daily headlines, the murals’ number and size, as well as their powerful iconography and aesthetics, inspired a photo exhibit entitled “Walls of Martyrdom”: Tehran’s Propaganda Murals, displayed from May to July 2007 at Harvard’s Center for Government and International Studies South Concourse Gallery.4 The exhibit employed mixed visual media such as a fi fteen meter-long cityscape design, 1 For a relatively recent study of Tehran see Ali Madanipour, Tehran: The Making of a Metropolis.
