Iran in Pictures is a true insight and photographic journey inside one of the most ancient countries and cultures on our planet. The immense knowledge of the author about the country and his experience there deliver us a unique point of view on Iran’s everyday life, its rich history and extraordinary culture. Christopher Thornton is a professor born in Chicago in 1956. Writer and photographer, he teaches in the Department of American Literature and Culture Studies at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. He has worked as a special correspondent for the U.S. State Department’s International Information Program and has written many articles and essays based on travel-related themes. In 2019 his first book, Descendants of Cyrus: Travels Through Everyday Iran, was published by the University of Nebraska Press. He is currently planning a book on eastern Europe that would also be a travel narrative.

Photography is clearly not a mirror of daily life: that images are constructions is especially obvious in 19th-century studio portrait photography. This book explores how indigenous Iranian photographers constructed their own realities in contrast to how foreign photographers constructed Iranians' realities. Through an in-depth comparative visual analysis of 19th-century Iranian portrait photography and Persian painting, the author arrives at the insight that aesthetic preferences correlate with socio-cultural habits and practices in writing, reading and looking. Subsequently, she advocates for a place in a global history of photography for those unknown, local photo histories (such as the Iranian one) and for the indigenous photographers who produced them.

Since the revolution in 1979, Iran has developed an image culture projecting statesanctioned religious ideology in public spaces that serve as transit zones. Between 2011 and 2014, German artist and former freelance photographer for the New York Times Oliver Hartung produced a body of work on Iran comprised of images which, upon first glance, depict colorful street paraphernalia, posters, graffiti, murals, monuments, and war cemeteries, but upon a closer inspection reveal a much deeper psychology engineered to bolster the myth of the Islamic Republic. Hartungs unique view of the Middle Eastoften lost amid images of war and conflictcreates a portrait of a country still largely unknown to the West. Part of a long-term project exploring the contemporary cultures of the Middle East, Hartungs thoughtful monograph is packed with over 300 color images. Hartungs last publication with Spector was Syria Al-Assad.

Nineteenth-century Iran was an ocularcentered society predicated on visuality and what was seen and unseen, and photographs became liminal sites of desire that maneuvered "betwixt and between" various social spaces—public, private, seen, unseen, accessible, and forbidden—thus mapping, graphing, and even transgressing those spaces, especially in light of increasing modernization and global contact during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Of primary interest is how photographs negotiated and coded gender, sexuality, and desire, becoming strategies of empowerment, of domination, of expression, and of being seen. Hence, the photograph became a vehicle to traverse multiple locations that various gendered physical bodies could not, and it was also the social and political relations that had preceded the photograph that determined those ideological spaces of (im)mobility. In identifying these notions in photographs, one may glean information about how modern Iran metamorphosed throughout its own long durée or resisted those societal transformations as a result of modernization.

This book explores, through the vision of ten contemporary Iranian photographers, the contrasts and contradictions that exist in Iranian Society at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Each representation is different to the next and each image serves to represent the main conflict present in Iran today: that of the power of tradition versus the quest for modernity. Each of the ten photographers has chosen an aspect of daily life in their country, for example, a café, a shopping mall, and the clerics, with each serving to show another part of the mosaic of cultural experience in Iran. One theme that remains constant through all of the images is that of women, who remain living symbols of the interaction between change and stagnation. In this book, women test the limits of the Hijab and their experience is used to represent that of young women all around the world. Distributed by I.B.Tauris

"One of the most dominant tropes in the visual arts from the Middle East, including Iran, is the figure of the veiled woman in the visual arts, among which photography holds sway. The veil has not had a single meaning for the West; a meaning that is rooted in Orientalism. In this study I explore how the three artists I chose decentralize the veil, focusing instead on the presence and the role of women in society, culture, and history by restaging modern Iranian photographs, by inverting and challenging the male gaze, and by using the domestic sphere to tackle identity issues. By drawing on the interconnected theories of postcolonialism and feminism, I further demonstrate how understanding the sociocultural context of Iran is indispensable in reading and interpreting images of veiled women, and how these artists challenge the hegemony of male dominance, a hegemony that is not necessarily religious. Finally, I tackle the stakes in the reception of Iranian artworks in Euro-American settings and suggest that analyzing their reception inside Iran would provide us with an invaluable insight into Iranian art." --
