Fīlm va īdiʼūlūzhī dar Īrān: dahah-yi hashtād

Fīlm va īdiʼūlūzhī dar Īrān : dahah-yi hashtād offers a critical examination of the relationship between motion pictures and the dominant political landscapes of Īrān during the 1380s (roughly the 2000s). Written by Iḥsān Āqābābāyī and Siyāmak Rafīʻī, the work investigates how the cinema of this decade mirrored the intense discursive struggle between Reformism and Principalism. By utilising theories of discourse and ideology, the authors unpack the ways in which films acted as mediums for social commentary and ideological enforcement. The text delves into specific themes such as the portrayal of women, class disparity, and political authority, analysing how cinematic narratives legitimized or challenged the status quo. This volume provides a scholarly lens through which to view the cultural and sociopolitical dynamics of Īrān in the post-revolution era, highlighting the role of film in shaping the collective consciousness of a changing society.
