Narrative and Violence explores philosophical and anthropological
ideas surrounding the nature of social suffering, its relationship
to social, historical and political contexts and the manner in
which diasporic communities narrate their suffering. Against the
setting of the adverse relationship between Iran and the West, it
examines the ways in which suffering shapes identity and belonging
in the Diaspora for Iranians living in the West. Based on rich
empirical information drawn from the UK and Australia, this book
investigates ways in which the lives of Iranians living in the
Diaspora are affected by the understanding of Iran in terms of
abjection, as that which is beyond or outside of The West.
Exploring the emotions and feelings of pain and suffering, as they
are rooted in and shape various categories of experience, propounds
a view of suffering which is thoroughly grounded in culture,
history and politics. Presenting a new theoretical and cultural
understanding of experiences of suffering, violence, war and
displacement, this book contributes to critical debates within
sociology, geography, anthropology history and cultural and
critical theory.
