A Social History of Iranian Cinema, Volume 3 – The Islamicate Period, 1978–1984 de Hamid Naficy

A Social History of Iranian Cinema, Volume 3 – The Islamicate Period, 1978–1984

Autor Hamid Naficy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2012
Hamid Naficy is one of the world’s leading authorities on Iranian film, and A Social History of Iranian Cinema is his magnum opus. Covering the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first and addressing documentaries, popular genres, and art films, it explains Iran’s peculiar cinematic production modes, as well as the role of cinema and media in shaping modernity and a modern national identity in Iran. This comprehensive social history unfolds across four volumes, each of which can be appreciated on its own. In Volume 3, Naficy assesses the profound effects of the Islamic Revolution on Iran's cinema and film industry. Throughout the book, he uses the term Islamicate, rather than Islamic, to indicate that the values of the post-revolutionary state, culture, and cinema were informed not only by Islam but also by Persian traditions. Naficy examines documentary films made to record events prior to, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the revolution. He describes how certain institutions and individuals, including prerevolutionary cinema and filmmakers, were associated with the Pahlavi regime, the West, and modernity and therefore perceived as corrupt and immoral. Many of the nation's movie-houses were burned down. Pre-revolutionary films were subject to strict review and often banned, to be replaced with films commensurate with Islamicate values. Filmmakers and entertainers were thrown out of the industry, exiled, imprisoned, and even executed. Yet, out of this revolutionary turmoil, an extraordinary Islamicate cinema and film culture emerged. Naficy traces its development and explains how Iran's long war with Iraq, the gendered segregation of space, and the imposition of the veil on women encouraged certain ideological and aesthetic trends in film and related media. Finally, he discusses the structural, administrative, and regulatory measures that helped to institutionalize the new evolving cinema.A Social History of Iranian Cinema: Volume 1: The Artisanal Era, 1897–1941; Volume 2: The Industrializing Years, 1941–1978; Volume 3: The Islamicate Period, 1978–1984; Volume 4: The Globalizing Era, 1984–2010

Recenzii

“Hamid Naficy is already established as the doyen of historians as well as critics of Iranian cinema. This massive, detailed, as well as extremely scholarly critical history of Iranian cinema since its very foundation more than a century ago—based as it is on a good understanding of modern Iranian political and social history—is the crowning of all his highly instructive and informative works so far. Each of the volumes can be read separately as well as a part of this colossal critical narrative. To say that it is a must read for virtually all concerned with modern Iranian history, and not just cinema and the arts, is to state the obvious.” Homa Katouzian, author of The Persians, Ancient, Mediaeval and Modern Iran“This magisterial four-volume work on Iranian cinema will be the defining work on the topic for a long time to come. Situating film within its socio-political context, the work covers the period leading up to the Constitutional Revolution and continues after the Islamic Revolution, examining questions about modernity, globalization, Islam and feminism along the way. It is a definitive work for our thinking about cinema and society and how issues of creativity and expression in one particular form, film, should be integrated into a wider engagement with social issues. Demand that your library buys this superb work of academic scholarship!” Annabelle Sreberny, SOAS, University of London“This book is an extraordinary achievement. Professor Hamid Naficy’s history of Iranian cinema (from its very beginnings to the present day) is scholarly and detailed and he has handled this mass of material with the lightest touch. It is, however, Naficy’s own personal experience and investment that gives this book a particular distinction. Only a skilled historian who is also on the inside of his story, could convey so vividly the cinema’s symbolic significance for twentieth century Iran and the depth with which it is interwoven with its national culture and politics.” Laura Mulvey, author of Death 24x a Second: Stillness and the Moving Image

Descriere

The third volume of Hamid Naficy’s four-volume history of Iranian cinema is the shortest, covering the revolution at the end of the Shah’s regime and the establishment of the Islamicate state. Movies were seen as a part of the corruption of the Shah’s era and a third of the movie houses were destroyed during the revolution. The uprising and revolution were filmed by both amateurs and professionals and Naficy describes what these filmmakers had to do to capture the events. As part of the new Islamic regime’s attempt to make a more Islamic film industry, new rules went into effect in 1982 and Naficy shows that the government was not against film per se, only against the portrayal of particular themes or behaviors.
