Two months after the initial announcement of COVID-19, the World Health Organization referred to the pathogen as a pandemic, and by March 2020 large gatherings were canceled as new “social distancing” measures were issued. Statements about the pandemic proliferated on social-media platforms, among them that culturally important gatherings were sources of a new anxiety. Given that qualitative works engaging the sociocultural aspects of people’s ex…

A century ago, W.E.B. Du Bois coined the term ‘double consciousness’ to describe an individual with an identity with several facets, particularly in the context of African-American experiences. A century later, Du Bois’ theory was expanded into a concept called ‘triple consciousness’ to acknowledge the intersectional construction of identities where race might have intersected with ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. to generate complex, …
Over Forty Years of Resisting Compulsory Veiling
While text-based and cyberspace campaigns against compulsory veiling in Iran have received much attention, Iranian diasporic creative writers have also engaged in this resistance through their writings, but they have remained almost unacknowledged. This article argues that diasporic literary narratives have functioned as part of what has led to today’s online platforms and cyberactivism. The article approaches these literary narratives as forms o…

Born in Iran, Saghi Ghahraman, an Iranian poet, lives in exile in Canada currently. Ghahraman founded Gilgamishaan Books, and founded and operated the Exiled Writers Club for two years. Zhe has been running the Iranian Queer Organization (IRQO) since 2008.

Pregnancy and Miscarriage in Qatar: Women, Reproduction and the State
As the bearers of the next generation in one of the richest countries in the world, the social status of Qatari women is closely linked to their ability to have children. Women are expected to reflect the cultural and religious values attached to motherhood, and not having children puts women in a potentially vulnerable position. But Qatari women must also play an essential role in reflecting the country as a centre of Arab modernity, availing th…
Temporary Marriage in Iran: Gender and Body Politics in Modern Iranian Film and Literature
Proposing a methodology that brings feminist theories of embodiment to bear on the Iranian literary and cinematic tradition, this study examines temporary marriage in Iran, not just as an institution but also as a set of practices, identities and meanings that have transformed over the course of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. Based on analysis of novels and short stories from the Pahlavi era, and cinematic works produced after the Isl…

Yusuf’s “Queer” Beauty in Persian Cultural Productions
In the Hebrew Bible, Joseph is one of Jacob's twelve sons whose story is woven throughout the final chapters of Genesis. In the quranic account, (Joseph) is the only prophet whose story gets a whole chapter of its own. According to tradition, the entire Sura Yusuf, which takes up 111 verses, was once revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. In Persian literature, Yusuf's story appears in the works of almost every poet from the classical period (900-1500…
