Media and Feminist Protest in Iran

My Camera Is My Weapon

About this book

This book provides an analysis of social media and women's resistance in Iran with relevance to similar polities. The author examines how Iranian women continue to fight against the regime's gender discriminatory laws and protest the government in public squares and in virtual spaces. The book presents a critical approach to technology's role in politics and society and an in-depth analysis of authoritarianism and its relationship to social media harms and state violence. With a particular focus on images, hashtags, and other digital content, it calls for a rethinking of the concepts of crime, culture, and control in the technosocial world. The author draws on conceptual contributions from the fields of criminology, philosophy, psychology, technology and media studies.
