Cultural Revolution in Iran: Contemporary Popular Culture in the Islamic Republic

Cultural Revolution in Iran: Contemporary Popular Culture in the Islamic Republic by Annabelle Sreberny and Massoumeh Torfeh
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1780760892, 1784535133 | 296 pages | PDF | 25 MB

The Islamic Republic of Iran has entered its fourth decade, and the values and legacy of the Revolution it was founded upon continue to have profound and contradictory consequences for Iranian life. Despite the repressive power of the current regime the immense creativity of popular cultural practices, that negotiate and resist a repressive system, is a potent and dynamic force. This book draws on the expertise and experience of Iranian and international academics and activists to address diverse areas of social and cultural innovation that are driving change and progress. While religious conservatism remains the creed of the establishment, this volume uncovers an underground world of new technology, media and entertainment that speaks to women seeking a greater public role and a restless younger generation that organizes and engages with global trends online.

Paul Grainge – Memory and Popular Film (Inside Popular Film)
2003 | ISBN: 0719063752 | English | 276 pages | PDF | 3.2 MB

One of the first books to put memory at the centre of analysis when exploring the relationship between film culture and the past. Provides a sustained, interdisciplinary perspective on memory and film from early cinema to the present, drawing from film studies, American studies and cultural studies. Adopts a resolutely cultural perspective and unlike psychoanalytic or formalist approaches to memory, explores questions of culture, power and identity. Contributes to the growing debate about the status and function of the past in cultural life and discourse, discussing issues of memory in film, and of film as memory. Considers such well known films as Forrest Gump, Pleasantville, and Jackie Brown.
