by Farshid Kazemi (Author)
Combining Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, Iranian Shi'ite thought, and Islamicate sexualities, this book provides an analysis of the logic of desire and sexuality in key films of contemporary Iranian cinema, arguing that there is a profound, albeit surprising, correlation between post-revolutionary Iranian cinema and psychoanalysis.
