Ta bom, amigão, já entendemos que vc é preocupado com justiça social. Que tal começar a estudar alguma coisa agora?
Persepolis is banned in Iran bc, you know, theocratic authoritarian state.
But there are many Farsi translations made by fans and the entire film is on YouTube subtitled in Farsi.
I know underground versions were spread illegally in Iran by fans.
It’s been heartening to see how many young women from around the world have come to defense of Marjane Satrapi these past few days - proof of her universal potential
@totally_not_ace@estro_newtype_2 "America is the root of all evil, all atrocities are justified if it ultimately hurts America, anyone who hates America is my friend even if they hate me and want me dead"
There, just summarised it for you.
@TheSportProhet Also "responsibility with the national project of her people" lmao fuck that fascistic bullshit 1000 times. She didn't and neither does anybody.
@TheSportProhet Lol. The only narcisist here is you, dude. You're basically saying she owes you an explanation about Iran's "social processes". She really fucking didn't, and she was a better artist for not doing so.
@TheSportProhet In any case, saying that the morality police is a "stand in for veiled woman" is a dead giveaway that you haven't actually read the book because if you had you'd know that Persepolis contains plenty of veiled women portrayed with sympathy and complexity.
@TheSportProhet The burden was never on her to curate her inner life for the comfort of others. And if your main concern when an Iranian woman recounts her childhood under compulsory veiling is how that story might affect Western debates about the veil you're basically colonising her perspective
I'm glad Marjane Satrapi is dead. It was evil of her to be oppressed by non-Americans. A moral woman would choose exclusively to be oppressed by Americans.
@TheSportProhet This argument only works if you assume secular Western audiences are the universal audience and that every work of art must be read through their cultural lens rather than on its own terms. But I guess treating your own perspective as the default is typical for Americans.
@TheSportProhet “The audience is encouraged” no it isn't. She drew them wearing veils because that's how they dressed. They seem threatening because they were threatening to her, a child, and the story is told through her eyes.
The veil women here are presented as ghost like figures, denied genuine interiority. They appear primarily through the protagonist's gaz. We are invited into Marjane's fears, desires, frustrations, and political development, but the veil women are seldom granted a comparable inner life. Their political commitments appear self-evident, irrational, or socially imposed than historically produced. they can come across as figures existing outside history. The secular, cosmopolitan protagonist possesses interiority; the veil woman has no inner life.
The reason Persepolis is liked by Western imperialists despite the author's many explicit anti-Western stances is bc she demonstrates no commitment whatsoever to the national project of Iran, only to the personal hedonic interests of herself and her friends and kin.
