In memory of Franklin Lewis, the Translator
This homage to the late Frank Lewis offers two translations of micro stories by the contemporary author, Belqeys Soleimani, from Persian into English. The translations are prefaced with contextual and critical commentary
Politics of Vengeance in Iranian Diaspora Communities
The death of the young Kurdish Iranian woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, on September 16, 2022 following her arrest by Iran's now-suspended Gasht-i Irshad (guidance patrol or morality police) for apparent lax conformity to the Islamic dress code ignited protests across Iran. The protests, known as Women, Life, Freedom ( Zan, Zendegī, Azadi ) quickly spread to Iranian diaspora communities across North America, Europe, and Australia. Initially, diasporic Ir…
Iranian Culture
Throughout modern Iranian history, culture has served as a means of imposing unity and cohesion onto society. The Pahlavi monarchs used it to project an image of Iran as an ancient civilisation, re-emerging as an equal to Western nations, while the revolutionaries deployed it to remake the country into an Islamic nation. Just as Iranian culture has been continually re-interpreted, the representations and avocations of Iranian identity vary amongs…

Georgis sees this dream as emblematic of her niece’s attempt at grasping her family’s turbulent past and shaping a sense of belonging; the story is …

Four decades after her tragic death at the age of 32, Forugh Farrokhzad, Poet of Modern Iran brings her ground-breaking work into new focus. During her lifetime Farrokhzad embodied the vexed predicament of the contemporary Iranian woman, at once subject…
Divorce Seen through Women's Cinematic Lens
The curtailment of women's rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran has received a great deal of scholarly attention. Among the legal changes that have profoundly affected women's lives are divorce laws. If the legal arena has not given women much room for maneuver, the realm of cultural representation, particularly cinematic production by women, has provided a fertile ground for self-expression and resistance. Through an analysis of Ziba Mir-Hosse…

Oriental Responses to the West
Modern writers and scholars from the Islamic East have represented actual or fictional encounters with the West in a surprising variety of ways. Far from constituting a mono- lithic approach to the West, as Western Orientalism often tended to, these writings reveal an interest in and sometimes acute perception of cross-cultural conflict and synthesis. The very difficulties experienced by writers and critics immersed in two or more cultures have l…
