Becoming cultural and disability activists who challenge dominant narratives
This article discusses how Faye Ginsburg's work on ethnographic filmmaking, cultural activism, disability studies, and the parallax effect inspired me to collaborate over two decades with survivors of chemical warfare in Iran and Iraq. In order to continue to advocate for their needs for subsidized medical treatment, survivors of chemical weapons in Iran took up disability rights and carved out an important spaces as cultural activists to advocat…
Legacies of Protest Art in Iran
This article examines the art practice of a group of professors and students-who later came to be known as Group 57-at the Fine Arts College of the University of Tehran during the revolutionary period of 1978 to 1980. Through interviews with artists and art historical research, the authors describe the artists' workshop where they produced posters against the Shah, the United States, and imperialism. Their posters drew on the bold colors, clear t…
The perils of producing revolutionary moderation
What makes revolutionary media 'moderate', and why would a revolutionary state produce moderation? Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with pro-regime media producers in Iran, this article examines the attempted creation of a new revolutionary hero, an 'Islamic Che', who appeals to younger audiences by creating a moderate style. Iran's regime media makers seek to attract not just youth who protest against the Islamic Republic, but their own childre…
Decolonizing Transnational Feminism
This article analyzes the Afghan and Iranian feminist uprisings of the early 2020s spurred by #MahsaAmini’s death and the return of the Taliban, and their predecessors, #MyRedLine and #MyStealthyFreedom. It assesses why these movements, which gained international traction and a huge global online and offline presence, are no longer in the mainstream media spotlight. The article examines the efficacy and dangers of these feminist movements, which …
Social Movements, Power, and Mediated Visibility
This article focuses on how the anthropological study of media-through an examination of its production, circulation, and consumption-elucidates issues of social organization, political economy, and alternative visions for political futures. By bringing together the studies of visual media, social movements, and hegemonic power by anthropologists and ethnographers of media since the turn of the twenty-first century, this review article provides a…
Iran Reframed
An inside look at what it means to be pro-regime in Iran, and the debates around the future of the Islamic Republic. More than half of Iran's citizens were not alive at the time of the 1979 Revolution. Now entering its fifth decade in power, the Iranian regime faces the paradox of any successful revolution: how to transmit the commitments of its political project to the next generation. New media ventures supported by the Islamic Republic attempt…
Debating the Iran-Iraq War in Contemporary Iran
The Researcher as a National Security Threat
Based on ethnographic research in Iran among the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its Basij militia, this article explores the process of gaining access to these militarized groups in order to conduct long-term research. Specifically, what does it mean to build rapport and gain trust within a highly securitized space such as this? What happens when the researcher is a potential “national security” threat in both Iran and th…

The Outcasts
With developments in the past decade of such popular films as Masoud Dehnamaki’s trilogy, Ekhrajiha (The Outcasts), we are privy to a new trend in pro-regime filmmaking in Iran, one that centers on the creation of ‘new entertainment.’ This pivot by pro-regime cultural producers is based on a perceived need to do away with the ‘war time propaganda’ that ‘no one wants to see anymore’ (as one pro-regime screenwriter told me), and to replace it with …
