When he bonds with an elderly woman who lives in the senior home at which the West Mesa group volunteers, Laz finds freedom in this unexpected connection.

  • 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.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

  • Fair Use and Shia Labeouf
    Fair Use and Shia LaBeouf Jason Kim Writing 5 February 24, 2016 The medium that I chose to define fair use is a YouTube video, via a combination of copyrighted media and a voice over. Using a video allows viewers to follow the definitional text with low effort. I hope to make the definitional text both persuasive and effective in defining fair use, while maintaining an element of humour. A video format allows for an exhibition of what can be considered fair use with regard to Shia LaBeouf’s career. Since video consumption has increasingly become commonplace, a focus on what is fair use with regards to video is most relevant and relevant to today’s society. A strong trend of media consumption moving toward video can be seen by the rise in popularity of Youtube, Vine, and Snapchat. Furthermore, this sentiment is further realized when looking at declining sales in the newspaper, magazine, and books industry. This shift in the method of media consumption is ever more prevalent in the younger generations, who will undoubtedly shape the future debate of fair use. Therefore, a video is used for the definitional text in order to reach an audience that is bent on using advancing technology to create content. Because copyright and fair use laws are constantly evolving trying to keep up with technology, it is logical to use Youtube as a platform to define video related fair use because the legal implications are inherently the most contentious in a newly developed industry. The law is always in a game of catchup when it comes to regulating the private sector and technology.

  • Iranian Women in the Year 1400: the Struggle for Equal Rights Continues
    ISSUE BRIEF Iranian Women in the Year 1400: The Struggle for Equal Rights Continues APRIL 2021 MEHRANGIZ KAR AND AZADEH POURZAND You want to erase my being, but in this land I shall remain I will continue to dance as long as I sustain I speak as long as I’m living; fury, roar, and revolt your stones and rocks I fear not, I’m flood, my flow you can’t halt — Poet Simin Behbahani1 The story of Iranian women’s struggle for equality in many ways embodies the nation’s struggles as a whole. It is a tale of continuous bargaining with the state by citizens of diverse backgrounds. While Iranian women have made remarkable strides in various fields such as science, the arts, and business, they continue to face discriminatory laws, policies, and practices in their daily lives and beyond. The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, sought to maintain a strictly controlled society using religious-populist lead- ership accompanied by repression. Yet no degree of state control has suc- ceeded in shutting down society’s aspirations for a better and freer life, and the women’s movement in Iran is a dramatic example of the state’s failure. This issue brief aims to present a clearer image of women’s struggles for equal- ity to help US policy makers better understand the intricacies of Iranian soci- ety and design policies that support—but do not supplant or undermine—the women’s movement. Understanding this struggle can help policy makers look beyond simplistic solutions that see disempowered Iranian women as requiring saving from the outside or that use women’s achievements as a justification to legitimize IRI rule.
