This book studies the production of urban culture in Tehran after
1979. It analyzes urban resistance and urban processes in
underground cultural spaces: bookshops, cafes and art galleries.
The intended audience is architects and urban planners interested
in socio-political aspects of bottom-up space formation, but also
those in humanities and particularly cultural studies. The idea of
the book reflects architectural criticism and bottom-up processes
of space formation. It analyzes alternative, non-official ways of
forming cultural spaces in Tehran and the way they resist formally
endorsed culture. Cafes, bookshops and galleries, each take various
and different sets of strategies to constitute their territory and
their communities within the city. From temporarily occupying
street corners (booksellers) to constitution of an underground
network of unfixed meeting points, to using the modern paradigms of
ownership and the idea of private property, primarily as a
political tool for management, to claim a safe alternative sphere
of art, and finally to semiotic spatial codifications of spaces to
make them as a safe gathering places taking food as a means. All
these three cultural spaces deal with various conditions to form
specific forms of resistance practices, throughout processes that
leave their spatial traces on the city.
