Iranian Culture

Exploring the complexities of Iranian culture, this work analyzes literature, music, graphic art, film, and oral narratives from both pre- and post-1979 revolution periods. It highlights the contradictions and contested claims to culture that arise from both within Iran and the diaspora, emphasizing how these elements shape our understanding of Iranian identity. By revealing overlooked nuances in cultural production, it offers a critical re-examination of collective cultural concepts and the spaces for new expressions within Iranian culture.
