ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the challenges of the political narratives and discourse of, what we would and some scholars have argued as, Islamic feminism in contemporary Iran. The paper explains briefly the social origins and accompanying intellectual and political developments that led to the emergence and shaped the political narratives in Iranian Islamic feminism. Next, it outlines and discusses the nature and characteristics of the Islamic feminist discourse. In doing so, the paper highlights and explains the central intellectual and ethical-political principles deliberated and advocated by several writers and thinkers within and related to this discourse and women’s discourse in general, including Ali Shariati, as well as Murtada Mutahhari whose views on women and gender inform mainstream perspectives on the status and role of women in Iranian society. The paper then examines the challenges confronted by the discourse of Islamic feminism and concludes by considering the implications of Islamic feminist narratives and discourse on contemporary Iranian thought and society.

摘要

本文讨论了政治叙事和话语的挑战，以及我们和一些学者认为的当代伊朗伊斯兰女权主义的挑战。本文简要解释了导致伊朗伊斯兰女权主义兴起并塑造政治叙事的社会起源以及随之而来的思想政治发展。接下来，它概述并讨论了伊斯兰女权主义话语的性质和特征。在此过程中，本文重点介绍并解释了由该话语和妇女话语内部以及与之相关的几位作家和思想家探讨并提出的核心知识和道德政治原则，其中包括阿里·沙里亚蒂（Ali Shariati），以及穆塔达·穆塔哈里（Murtada Mutahhari）对妇女和性别的看法为人们提供了关于妇女在伊朗社会中地位和作用的主流观点。然后，本文考察了伊斯兰女权主义话语面临的挑战，并通过考虑伊斯兰女权主义叙事和话语对当代伊朗思想和社会的影响来得出结论。
