*Apologies for crossposting* [image: The Poetics and Politics of the Veil in Iran_cover.jpg] 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. *Table of Contents* *About the BookPrefaceIntroduction* *Chapter One* 1.1 Iran in 1936 1.2 The Hijab in Iran 1.3 On Feminism in Iran 1.4 The Islamic Revolution of 1979 1.5 On Photography *Chapter Two* 2.1 On Veiling and Writing 2.2 Veiling and the Sense of Protection 2.3 On Veiling and Modesty 2.4 On Looking *Chapter Three*3.1 Mobile Architecture 3.2 On the Garden: Away from the Crowd 3.3 Drapery: Displacement from the Body to the Fabric 3.4 Today in Iran: The Contemporary Public Life *Appendix: The Showroom Project September 2015BibliographyAcknowledgements* *Index * Please visit our website for more information: https://www.intellectbooks.com/the-poetics-and-politics-of-the-veil-in-iran-an-archival-and-photographic-adventure -- *Georgia Glasspole* Marketing Assistant Intellect | 0117 9589910 | [log in to unmask] Working Days: Monday-Friday Find out more about Intellect's latest titles with our 2019 Books <https://www.intellectbooks.com/asset/651/books-catalogue-2019-final-web.pdf> Catalogue and our 2020 Journals <https://www.intellectbooks.com/asset/649/intellect-journals-catalogue-2020-web.pdf> Catalogue, or sign up to some of our newsletters <https://www.intellectbooks.com/newsletter>. <https://www.intellectbooks.com/> -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
