  • 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.

Level 2.5: Explain the use of narrative conventions in media text. Level 3.2: Explain how meaning is created in media texts. GENRE Making a documentary is a more complex activity than many viewers realise. Rain of the Children is a highly ambitious example because it is feature-length, it combines a big historical story with complex personal stories, it uses reconstruction (dramatised events), and it moves between a number of different time levels. Its director, Vincent Ward, is among New Zealand’s most important and original film makers. For all these reasons, it is a rich documentary to study. The documentary genre reflects our desire to get as close as possible to the truth. Rain of the Children grew out of Ward’s sense that there was still much he did not understand about Te Puhi Tatu, the subject of his 1980 documentary In Spring One Plants Alone.

  • The Staging of Affect and the “Elsewhens” of Documentary Space
    djkal The Staging of Affect and the “Elsewhens” of Documentary Space Dan Fleming A quarter of a century ago, the English critic and writer John Berger said, “The true stories of our time have to be able to reconcile a pile of clothes in a drawer with world historical upheavals.”1 This seems like an ideal prescription for documentary but, given our times of intensified globalization and the reorganization of “world historical upheavals” around a particular global narrative, the practical challenge behind Berger’s word “reconcile” seems even more daunting than it did in 1985. In particular, the “pile of clothes in a drawer,” the lived spaces of the everyday, the intimate, the personal, the forgotten, the material things tinged with memory, seem even more at risk of consignment to the category of the inconsequential. Certain durable public exceptions, like the piled and tangled frames and cracked lenses of the Auschwich-Berkenau spectacles, have achieved an iconic status as personal markers of world historical trauma (thus celebrities being invited to donate pairs of old spectacles to a 2008 exhibit in Liverpool, England, marking National Holocaust Day2) but, if anything, this has raised the bar on just whose “pile of clothes in a drawer” might connect with the “true stories of our time” that Berger envisaged. The recent opening of so many old drawers to the burgeoning “family history” genre (e.g. television’s Media Fields Journal no. 3 (2011) 2 The Staging of Affect Who Do You Think You Are?) tends not to facilitate this connection so much

  • 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.

References 39 2 1. Abstract This essay represents an attempt to further the understanding of the films by Japanese New Wave director Shohei Imamura through the use of post-colonial theory, and political and cultural contextualisation; it also offers discussion on the inherent issues of discussing non- Western cinema from a Western point-of-view, and how post-colonial theory can be used tentatively by Western writers to prevent the perpetuation of orientalism and the generalisation of non-Western cultures as a single entity simply titled ‘the Other’. This is done through an in-depth exploration of Western film theory’s problematic relationship to Asian cinema, along with disposition and historical contextualisation relevant to Imamura’s films and the Japanese New Wave movement of the 1960s. This is then followed by an analysis on Imamura’s sixth film, The Insect Woman, released in 1963, in which I implement post-colonial theory while also comparing it to Yasujiro Ozu’s 1951 motion picture Early Summer, a film which addresses similar themes but in widely different ways.
