  • Iranian Women's Quest for Self-Liberation Through
    IRANIAN WOMEN’S QUEST FOR SELF-LIBERATION THROUGH THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA: AN EMANCIPATORY PEDAGOGY TANNAZ ZARGARIAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2019 © [Tannaz Zargarian, 2019] i Abstract This dissertation examines the discourse of body autonomy among Iranian women. It approaches the discourse of body autonomy by deconstructing veiling, public mobility, and sexuality, while considering the impact of society, history, religion, and culture. Although there are many important scholarly works on Iranian women and human rights that explore women’s civil rights and freedom of individuality in relation to the hijab, family law, and sexuality, the absence of work on the discourse of body autonomy—the most fundamental human right—has created a deficiency in the field. My research examines the discourse of body autonomy in the context of liberation among Iranian women while also assessing the role of the internet as informal emancipatory educational tools. To explore the discourse of body autonomy, I draw upon critical and transnational feminist theory and the theoretical frameworks of Derayeh, Foucault, Shahidian, Bayat, Mauss, and Freire. Additionally, in-depth semi-structured interviews with Iranian women aged 26 to 42 in Iran support my analysis of the practice and understanding of body autonomy personally, on the internet, and social media. The results identify and explicate some of the major factors affecting the practice and awareness of body autonomy, particularly in relation to the goal of liberation for Iranian women.

    Karlovy Vary 2012 By Gönül Dönmez-Colin Fall 2012 Issue of KINEMA 47th KARLOVY VARY FILM FESTIVAL Over 200 films, including 34 shorts and 56 documentaries, with 23 world premieres and more than120,000 tickets sold. Karlovy Vary International Film Festival celebrated its 47th year with triumph this summer despite budget cuts that have also been menacing many other film festivals. The Grand Jury, headed by Richard Peña, programme director of New York Film Festival, and including Montreal’s well-known actor François Papineau, judged a dozen films over eight days (June 29 - July 7, 2012). In the Official Competition, Pele akher (The Last Step) by Ali Mosaffa from Iran, focused on a somewhat confused young wife-widow played by Leila Hatami, well-known for her role as an irritable housewife in Asghar Farhadi’s Oscar winner, A Separation. The Last Step however lacked the well-written script of A Separation and also suffered from Hatami’s being cast in a similar role as in her earlier film, Thefeature, a loose adaptation inspired by Tolstoy’s novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886) and James Joyce’s story The Dead (1914) was more like a pastiche of several Iranian films that preceded it. French Canadian Rafaël Ouellet’s Camion about a truck-driver whose life changes drastically following a traffic accident that leaves an unknown woman dead captivated the audience with its remarkable cinematography and sound narrative that succeeded in avoiding melodrama despite its subject matter. Deine Schönheit ist nichts wert (Your Beauty is Worth Nothing) by Hüseyin Tabak, an Austrian entry whose ’filmic’ identity became controversial in Turkey after having won several awards, including the best Turkish film at Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival’s national competition, focused on a twelve-year oldboyfrom Turkey and his alienation as an immigrant in Vienna.

  • Imes Alumni Newsletter
    IMES ALUMNI NEWSLETTER 2015 Winter 6, Issue From the Head of IMES By Anthony Gorman Welcome again to the latest IMES Alumni Newsletter! As usual, this winter issue provides details of the IMES MSc and PhD graduations last November, always an emotional occasion for the department as well as for the graduating students themselves. The last months have been busy in the department with many enjoyable academic and social occasions. The Watt event in October which marked the 50th anniversary of Montgomery Watt’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Islamic Studies at Edinburgh stands out as a particularly memorable occasion marked by an impressive evening of lectures and a symposium the following day. Other highlights were a short series of seminars on Shi’ism (part of the larger IMES Research seminar series) as well as the programme of the Alwaleed Centre. As usual we feature a number of contributions from current and former students as well as coverage of the social activities of the postgraduate student body. One particularly impressive feature is the translation - into English and Slovene - of the poetry of Ashraf Fayadh by our PhD student Jona Fras. The History of IMES column is also dedicated to the student presence in the department. Since I have recently stepped down as Head of IMES I will also be vacating the post of Editor of the Newsletter. My thanks to all that have contributed to its production over the last three years, Professor especially to a series of fine Assistant Editors, Emese Lorencsics, Fayaz Alibhai, Farshed Kazemi Carole and, for her very capable work on this issue, Hester Gartrell.

  • "Désintérêt" Politique À Une Fascination Culturelle Mutuelle DISSERTATION
    France-Iran: dans le sillage du "désintérêt" politique à une fascination culturelle mutuelle DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jaleh Sharif, MA Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jennifer Willging, Adviser Professor Danielle Marx-Scouras Professor Richard Davis 1 Copyright by Jaleh Sharif 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation studies the history of Francophonie in Iran since the first fructuous official interactions between France and Persia in 17th century. Francophonie, i.e., the use of the French language and culture outside of France, has followed a winding path throughout several centuries in Persia (Iran). It grew from the interest of the Persian elite in a French society that neither engaged Persia militarily, nor attempted to compete with other European powers doing so. France's apparent lack of political interest in Persia became an official French diplomatic policy of "désintéressement," or "disinterest." This "hands off" policy nourished a Persian/Iranian fascination with French culture during the 19th and 20th centuries, as France was seen as a potential ally against the growing menace of Russia and Great Britain. As a result, and despite the growing political influence of other Western powers in Persia/Iran, the French language enjoyed the privileged status of first foreign Western language in Persia/Iran for almost a century, before being replaced by the English language due to the entry of the United States onto the international stage after the Second World War.
