Since the age of the Sasanian Empire (224-651 AD), Iran and the
West have time and again appeared to be at odds. Iran and the West
charts this contentious and complex relationship by examining the
myriad ways the two have perceived each other, from antiquity to
today. Across disciplines, perspectives and periods contributors
consider literary, imagined, mythical, visual, filmic, political
and historical representations of the 'other' and the ways in which
these have been constructed in, and often in spite of, their
specific historical contexts. Many of these narratives, for
example, have their origin in the ancient world but have since been
altered, recycled and manipulated to fit a particular agenda.
Ranging from Tacitus, Leonidas and Xerxes via Shahriar Mandanipour
and Azar Nafisi to Rosewater, Argo and 300, this inter-disciplinary
and wide-ranging volume is essential reading for anyone working on
the complex history, present and future of Iranian-Western
relations.
