Intellect is pleased to announce that */The Poetics and Politics of the
Veil in Iran/*
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/the-poetics-and-politics-of-the-veil-in-iran-an-archival-and-photographic-adventure>/,/ by
Azadeh Fatehrad is now available.
This volume explores the lives of women in Iran through the social,
political and aesthetic contexts of veiling, unveiling and re-veiling.
Through poetic writings and photographs, Azadeh Fatehrad responds to the
legacy of the Iranian Revolution via the representation of women in
photography, literature and film. The images and texts are documentary,
analytical and personal.
/The Poetics and Politics of the Veil in Iran /features Fatehrad’s own
photographs in addition to work by artists Hengameh Golestan, Shirin
Neshat, Shadi Ghadirian, Abbas Kiarostami, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Adolf
Loos, Gaëtan Gatian de Clérambault and Alison Watt. In exploring
women’s lives in post-revolutionary Iran, Fatehrad considers the role of
the found image and the relationship between the archive and the
present, resulting in an illuminating history of feminism in Iran in the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
