This article examines Googoosh, the reigning diva of Persian popular music, through an evaluation of diasporic Iranian discourse and artistic productions linking the vocalist to a feminized nation, its ‘victimisation’ in the revolution, and an attendant ‘nostalgia for the modern’ (Özyürek 2006) of pre-revolutionary Iran. Following analyses of diasporic media that project national drama and desire onto her persona, I then demonstrate how, since her departure from Iran in 2000, Googoosh has embraced her national metaphorization and produced new works that build on historical tropes linking nation, the erotic, and motherhood while capitalising on the nostalgia that surrounds her.

伊朗的女儿和母亲伊朗：对巴列维现代人的 Googoosh 和流散乡愁

本文通过评估流散的伊朗话语和将歌手与女性化国家联系起来的艺术作品、其在革命中的“受害”以及随之而来的“对现代的怀旧”（Özyürek 2006) 革命前的伊朗。在分析了将国家戏剧和欲望投射到她的角色上的侨民媒体之后，我随后展示了自 2000 年离开伊朗以来，Googoosh 如何接受她的国家隐喻，并创作出建立在历史比喻基础上的新作品，这些比喻将国家、色情和母性，同时利用她周围的怀旧情绪。
