and understandings of domestic technology. Structured in three parts, the first surveys debates on the future of work,
showing how feminist materialist critiques of technology would lend themselves to an anti-work rather than…[Read more]

Die Debatte um die politische Differenz stellt Kontingenz und Konfliktualität als fundamentale Eigenschaften des Politischen heraus. Dies birgt ein Problem für die postfundamentalistische Demokratietheorie, die auf Augenhöhe mit dieser Debatte argumentieren will: Durch die Kontingentsetzung aller normativen Begründungen ist zunächst unklar, welc…[Read more]

پروین اعتصامی (۱۲۸۵ـ ۱۳۲۰)، شاعر نامدار معاصر، در شعرهایش از منابع متعددی بهره برده‌است؛ اما نکته­ جالب توجه این است که او در تمام این برداشت‌های ادبی، اشعار خود را کاملاً از آثار پیشین متمایز می‌کند. پروین عناصری را که از آثار دیگران وام گرفته ­است‌ هنرمندانه با عناصر شعر خود و سنت ادبی فارسی درمی‌آمیزد و آن را از آن خود می‌کند؛ به ­گ…[Read more]

Within Iran, the transformation in the Islamic legal understanding of the foreign (ajnabi) into a political concept was accelerated by the encounter with Europe during the 19th century. The classical Iranian understanding of otherness as a domain fully demarcated from the self was replaced by an internalized other, resulting in what we call here…[Read more]

In the summer of 2011, an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Ivanov (1887) debuted on the Iranian stage. The director and playwright Amir-Reza Koohestani (b. 1978) created a production that was faithful to the classic status of this text while also maximizing its resonance with a contemporary Iranian audience. I explore how Koohestani achieved this b…[Read more]

This paper turns to another mode of…[Read more]

I report on my research into the liminal spaces of organisational…[Read more]
