Hi all!
Here are some themes/ topics to consider while writing your blog:
superficialities such as the veil, makeup, etc. deflecting from serious questions concerning freedom, quality of life, war, etc. (see page 148)
self-destructiveness/ destructiveness of war
intellectualism vs. fundamentalism
disillusionment
homelessness/ transience
"The only way to bear the unbearable is to laugh at it" (page 112)
censorship
the modern woman/ the traditionalist woman
loss of identity/ clash of cultures
notion of being "truly" religious
"Art should defy the law" (page 148)
"schizophrenia" in the way people present themselves in the private/public spheres
loss of political conscience/desensitization
"Disneyland in Tehran"
drugs/parties to "escape"
sexual revolution
marriage of text/images
unsuspected moments of victory/ outspokenness rewarded
propaganda

references to theorists/writers
Good stuff! See you in class on Tuesday. (:
