Sexual economy of the Islamic Republic
/ Afary, Janet
Afary, Janet
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2009.
Summary/Abstract
This article examines the gender and sexual policies of the Islamic Republic and their ramifications. It argues that the policies of the Islamist government cannot easily be categorized as "puritanical" or "moralistic." Rather we can argue that various factions within the state actively deployed a new "sexual economy" for the population. Sometimes, the Islamist state privileged patriarchal interpretations of gender norms over more modern ones. At other times, it adopted modern projects such as family planning alongside a discourse that presented them as practices rooted in traditional Islam. In all cases, the state used modern institutions to disseminate and enforce these practices.
