Journal Article
Civic Culture and Spatial Politics in Contemporary Iran
2020
Overview
On 4 January 2020, United States President Donald Trump announced via a tweet that he would attack fifty-two locations in Iran, including cultural sites, if Iran retaliated for the US-authorized assassination of military commander Major General Qasem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport. Iranians and non-Iranians alike voiced their opposition and flooded Twitter with images of their favorite cultural sites in Iran. This recent incident illustrates the interplay between spatial politics and civic culture that this roundtable addresses. What are civic and public cultures, and how do we “find” them? How do civic and public culture interplay with bottom-up vernacular culture to invite unexpected subjectivities and contestation of space? What are the particulars of a society such as Iran at this historical moment—postrevolutionary, confronting new shifts in relations with the US, attempting to curtail or bypass international sanctions, confronting continued social unrest, and living in an increasingly authoritarian global setting?
