THIRD WORLD FEMINISM
GROUP WORK: “CONTESTED MEANING OF THE VEIL AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES”• The Meaning of Head Hair/ History of the Veil
• Contested Meaning of the Veil in Contemporary Iran
• Unveiling
• Revival of the Veil
• Culturally Authentic Muslim Women
• Women and the Revolution of 1979
• The Veil as a Paradox
• With your partner (s) determine one or two of the main ideas in this section, one quote that you think is reflective of it or in support of it, and a question to ask the class about the topic.
SCENES FROM PERSEPOLIS• Punk Rock Scene
• How does this relate to our discussions last class about westoxification?
• Does this clip give you a different perspective of Iranian women of culture?
• Supermarket Scene:
• How does this scene connect to some of the themes we have examined this semester? (It doesn’t necessarily have to be in this unit.)
• University Scene:
• What stood out to you in this scene? How does this complicate or support the readings we had today?
• 1.) How has the rhetoric to save Muslim women been tied to the War on Terror? Why might this be a faulty analogy?
• 2.) According to the reading, how has the veil become a symbol of oppression?
• 3.) According to the reading, how has it also a symbol of empowerment?
• 4.) How might we “be aware of differences, respectful of other paths toward social change that might give women better lives?” Are emancipation, equality, and rights a part of a universal language for which we all use? (96).
• 5.) What does Abu-Lughad propose as an alternative approach to the savior rhetoric?
