A Special Issue on
Foucault and the Historiography of the Iranian Revolution
Guest Editors:
Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi and Mohamad Tavakoli-Targhi

Michel Foucault’s essays and interviews on the Iranian Revolution of 1978-79 raise important historiographical questions on how to narrate the history of the present. To explore these historiographical issues, we invite scholarly submissions, based on new archival work, that chronicle Foucault’s travels to Iran, assess his writings on the Iranian Revolution, and explore how his engagement with this historical event provides missing links between his earlier critical genealogy and his later ontology of the present and the hermeneutics of the subject. More generally, we encourage well-documented and original historiographical contributions exploring Iranian modernity and the Iranian Revolution utilizing Foucauldian analytics such as biopolitics, governmentality, regimes of truth, techniques of the self, voluntary insubordination, reflected intractability, and political spirituality. We particularly welcome scholarly essays that offer Foucauldian analytics and narratives of the Iranian Revolution.

Please send your abstracts of no more than 500 words, along with a single-page Curriculum Vitae, to Mohamad Tavakoli (m.tavakoli@utoronto.ca) and Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi (bghamari@illinois.edu). The deadline for the submission of abstracts is May 1, 2017. As a bilingual quarterly, Iran Namag accepts articles for peer-review in Persian and English. Please indicate whether your final contribution will be in English or Persian.

We expect to publish a proportion of around 40% English and 60% Persian articles for this special issue. Authors of the selected abstracts will be asked to submit the initial drafts of their articles by June 30, 2017. To be included in the special issue, full versions of the articles (between 6000 to 8000 words) must be received no later than September 15, 2017.

Iran Namag is committed to responsible authorship, intellectual honesty, the appropriate assignment of credit and responsibility, and ethical publication practices. It encourages its contributors to be explicit and generous in acknowledging their intellectual debts to other scholars through commensurate citations. To promote scholarly collaboration and the free exchange of ideas, authors are expected to give due credit to collaborators and to acknowledge assistance received from colleagues, students, and research assistants.
