Previously published as a special issue of British Journal of
Middle East Studies, this volume focuses on leading figures within
Iran between 1997-2007 and their visions and works that are related
to Iranian society. A cross section of opinion is investigated,
including the clerical ('Ali Khameneh'i, Muhammad Khatami and
Mohsen Kadivar), the dissident (Mohsen Makhmalbaf), and the poetic
(Qaysar Aminpour) and cinematic. The past decade has been a
traumatic one in Iran, and the essays in this volume testify to the
vibrancy of the responses from Iranian thinkers. It may be a
surprise to some observers that in some senses, 'Ali Khameneh'i may
be considered a 'liberal' whereas Muhammad Khatami's own
credentials as an advocate of rapprochement with the West needs to
be qualified. Responses to Western culture continue to remain
centre-stage, and this is also nowhere more apparent than in the
complex relationship between the directors of Iranian films
(perhaps Iran's most celebrated export these days) and their
audiences, both Iranian and Western. Despite some viewing Iran as a
pariah state, it remains firmly connected to the West and to modern
technology, typified in the practice of blogging that is enjoyed by
so many Iranians, which has provided a new space for expression and
thinking.
