Foucault in Iran: Islamic Revolution after the Enlightenment de Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi

Foucault in Iran: Islamic Revolution after the Enlightenment: Muslim International

Autor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2016

Această monografie academică semnată de Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi propune o reevaluare critică a unuia dintre cele mai controversate episoade din biografia intelectuală a lui Michel Foucault: susținerea Revoluției Iraniene. Notăm cu interes modul în care autorul respinge acuzațiile clasice de „eroare de judecată”, demonstrând că textele jurnalistice ale lui Foucault din 1978-1979 sunt, în fapt, ancorate profund în critica sa față de raționalitatea iluministă europeană. Credem că relevanța acestui volum, publicat sub egida University of Minnesota Press în seria Muslim International, este amplificată de contextul geopolitic actual, oferind un aparat teoretic necesar înțelegerii mișcărilor politice care refuză modelele normative occidentale.

Structura volumului Foucault in Iran este riguros organizată, pornind de la „punerea sub acuzare” a gânditorului francez și avansând spre analize nuanțate despre drepturile femeilor și politicile feministe în context revoluționar. Cititorii familiarizați cu Foucault and the Iranian Revolution de Janet Afary vor aprecia perspectiva nouă adusă de Ghamari-Tabrizi; dacă Afary se concentra pe analiza jurnalistică a vizitelor lui Foucault, volumul de față extinde cadrul, arătând cum evenimentele din Iran au modelat prelegerile sale târzii despre „fearless speech” și spiritualitate politică.

Prin compararea cu Reading Legitimation Crisis in Tehran de Danny Postel, observăm că Ghamari-Tabrizi nu se limitează la o critică a stângii intelectuale, ci investighează posibilitatea existenței unor concepte de demnitate și libertate în afara hărților cognitive europene. Este o lucrare interdisciplinară care îmbină bogăția empirică a datelor istorice cu o sofisticare teoretică remarcabilă, poziționând Revoluția Iraniană nu ca o anomalie, ci ca un moment de redefinire a subiectivității politice.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor și studenților la filozofie politică sau studii orientale care doresc să înțeleagă legătura dintre teoria foucauldiană și realitățile politice non-occidentale. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nuanțată asupra modului în care o revoluție poate contesta discursurile progresiste liniare. Este un instrument esențial pentru a decoda complexitatea raportului dintre religie, spiritualitate și rezistență politică în modernitatea târzie.

Despre autor

Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi este un istoric și sociolog recunoscut pentru analizele sale asupra Iranului contemporan. În lucrarea sa anterioară, Islam and Dissent in Postrevolutionary Iran, acesta a explorat modul în care revoluția din 1979 a deschis, paradoxal, spațiul public către interpretări concurente ale Islamului. Expertiza sa în transformările societății iraniene și în teoria socială îi permite să navigheze cu precizie între contextul local iranian și dezbaterile filozofice europene, făcând din el una dintre vocile autoritare în studiul intersecției dintre religie și guvernanță modernă.

Descriere scurtă

Were the thirteen essays Michel Foucault wrote in 1978–1979 endorsing the Iranian Revolution an aberration of his earlier work or an inevitable pitfall of his stance on Enlightenment rationality, as critics have long alleged? Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi argues that the critics are wrong. He declares that Foucault recognized that Iranians were at a threshold and were considering if it were possible to think of dignity, justice, and liberty outside the cognitive maps and principles of the European Enlightenment. 
Foucault in Iran centers not only on the significance of the great thinker’s writings on the revolution but also on the profound mark the event left on his later lectures on ethics, spirituality, and fearless speech. Contemporary events since 9/11, the War on Terror, and the Arab Uprisings have made Foucault’s essays on the Iranian Revolution more relevant than ever. Ghamari-Tabrizi illustrates how Foucault saw in the revolution an instance of his antiteleological philosophy: here was an event that did not fit into the normative progressive discourses of history. What attracted him to the Iranian Revolution was precisely its ambiguity.
Theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich, this interdisciplinary work will spark a lively debate in its insistence that what informed Foucault’s writing was not an effort to understand Islamism but, rather, his conviction that Enlightenment rationality has not closed the gate of unknown possibilities for human societies.

Recenzii

"Foucault in Iran is a courageous and thought-provoking invitation to understand the Iranian revolution, and Foucault’s reaction to it, in an original way. A splendid work that goes beyond simple binaries, it has no sympathy for the clichéd vocabulary used by Progressivists to describe these events—or to criticize Foucault for his alleged romanticisation of the Iranian revolution."—Talal Asad, City University of New York

"Foucault in Iran is absorbing and integral. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi deftly situates his analysis within the currents of the protest movements that galvanized Iranians across wide ideological, economic, and class spectrums."—Nasrin Rahimieh, University of California, Irvine
"Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi shows that the Iranian revolutionary movement was a socio-political source of creativity with historical significance. Foucault in Iran is a devastating critique of self-righteous Enlightenment rationality, and a must-read for anyone interested in Iranian political history, revolutionary action, and Foucault’s later writings."—Babak Rahimi, University of California, San Diego
"Through a meticulous presentation of events, reading, and engagement with Foucault’s reportage, and the subsequent critiques of his writings on the topic, Foucault in Iran marvelously recaptures the unfolding unpredictability of the events and brings out vividly how this was a revolution without a known script, even to its participants."—Afsaneh Najmabadi, Harvard University

"This book presents an intimate portrait of the events and conditions that led to the revolution, coupled with a fascinating account of Foucault’s engagement with that moment. Historically rich and theoretically nuanced, Foucault in Iran advances a scathing critique of previous works on this subject that charged Foucault with having endorsed Islamist violence by supporting the revolution. This book offers a more complicated reading of Foucault’s views on the revolution that disrupts binaries like secular/Islamist while also providing a riveting analysis on questions of time, history, and revolution."—New Books Network
"Highly recommended, not only as a counter to Afary and Anderson (and many like-minded detractors of Foucault), but for all interested in Foucault’s work in general."—CHOICE
"Foucault in Iran is not simply a good work or even a brave one, it is a thoroughly necessary exemplar of contemporary academia. Every book should be this good."—Hong Kong Review of Books
"An exemplary book for our time."—SCTIW Reviews
"An impressively meticulous reading of Michel Foucault’s writings on the events that preceded the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy in early 1979."—Contemporary Political Theory
"It distinguishes itself foremost as a welcome provocation to Afary and Anderson’s labeling of Foucault as an unwitting, “bad leftist.”"—Milestones
"A significant critical work in the fields of Foucault studies, comparative revolutions, and political philosophy, Foucault in Iran has already become and will surely remain a must-read in these fields."—Canadian Journal of History
