Media and Feminist Protest in Iran

<p>This book&nbsp;provides an analysis of social media and women’s resistance in Iran with relevance to similar polities. The author examines how&nbsp;Iranian women continue to fight against the regime’s gender discriminatory laws and protest the government in public squares and in virtual spaces.&nbsp;The book presents&nbsp;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&nbsp;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&nbsp;conceptual contributions from the fields of criminology, philosophy, psychology, technology and media studies.</p><br>
