by Michael M. J. Fischer
- 1 Want to read
Over the past decade Iranian films have received enormous international attention, garnering both critical praise and popular success. Combining his extensive ethnographic experience in Iran and his broad command of critical theory, Michael M.J. Fischer argues that the widespread appeal of Iranian cinema is based in a poetics that speaks not only to Iranʹs domestic cultural politics but also to the more general ethical dilemmas of a world simultaneously torn apart and pushed together. Approaching film as a tool for anthropological analysis, he illuminates how Iranian filmmakers have incorporated and remade the rich traditions of oral, literary, and visual media in Persian culture. -- Publisher description.
