Animation and Cultural Resistance in Iran: A Thematic Analysis of Persepolis, Window Horses, and Tehran Taboo
Animation has long served as a powerful medium for cultural resistance, providing a platform for marginalized voices to challenge dominant narratives, critique oppressive systems, and express identity. However, despite a growing body of scholarship on cultural resistance in authoritarian contexts, few studies have investigated full-length animated films produced by or about Iranians as sites of ideological contestation. This article maps how anim…
The discreet narrative of dissent: An analysis of Leila’s Brothers movie
Saeed Roustayi’s Leila’s Brothers (2022) sparked significant controversy in Iran following its international success, culminating in criminal charges against the movie’s director and producer. While public discourse largely focused on the film’s portrayal of poverty and patriarchy, this study goes beyond it and argues that its narrative structure subtly encodes a critique of the authoritarian regime in Iran. Applying classical structuralist model…

Political socialization, in this sense, has involved reinforcing Shia/Revolutionary ideologies through mobilizing young people for various cultural activities and propaganda campaigns. As part of these …

Donald J. Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election marked the beginning of a gloomy era for Iran-US relations which consequently brought about a series of economic and political consequences, most notably the international sanctions imposed on Iran. As the key player in these political affairs, Trump made several radical decisions involving Iran, provoking the Islamic regime’s harsh and insolent rejoinders which were directed at the US p…
Iranian Youth’s Identity Politics: Cosmopolitan Aspirations, Self-Reproach and Lived Experiences of Belongingness to the Nation
Constituting more than one-third of the country’s population, young generation in Iran are also a subnational group who have their own unique experiences of living in Iran and distinct way of defining themselves as Iranian. This has given rise to Iranian youth’s identity politics, evinced by nationwide student-led uprisings and social movements throughout the past decade. Identity politics in this sense is specified as the ways in which the young…
