Ästhetik, Politik und schiitische Repräsentation im zeitgenössischen Iran

Hochschulschrift

Zusammenfassung: In Aesthetics, Politics, and Shiʻi Representation in Contemporary Iran Christian Funke explores the entangled relationship between politics, protest and Shiʻi materiality in the Islamic Republic. He shows how the post-election protests of 2009 and the 'Green Movement' were part of larger discourses on democracy, identity, the present and the past, and religion and politics. Funke's argument is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews. He covers a broad array of topics, ranging from the interpretation of colours to the use of banknotes to the emergence of an urban spatial order. Funke offers a novel approach to the methodology and theory of material religion and by revealing the Islamic undercurrents in the 'Green Movement', his book provides a new and more appropriate picture of protest and religion in Iran.
