In this unprecedented book, Hamid Dabashi provides a provocative
account of Iran in its current resurrection as a mighty regional
power. Through a careful study of contemporary Iranian history in
its political, literary, and artistic dimensions, Dabashi decouples
the idea of Iran from its colonial linkage to the cliche notion of
"the nation-state," and then demonstrates how an "aesthetic
intuition of transcendence" has enabled it to be re-conceived as a
powerful nation. This rebirth has allowed for repressed political
and cultural forces to surface, redefining the nation's future
beyond its fictive postcolonial borders and autonomous from the
state apparatus that wishes but fails to rule it. Iran's
sovereignty, Dabashi argues, is inaugurated through an active and
open-ended self-awareness of the nation's history and recent
political and aesthetic instantiations, as it has been sustained by
successive waves of revolutionary prose, poetry, and visual and
performing arts performed categorically against the censorial will
of the state.
