'Ashura as Submission and Rebellion: An Ethnography on Shia Rituals in Contemporary Iran'
SOASThornhaugh Street, Russell Square
Fri 23 Oct · 18:00
About this event
Ashura as Submission and Rebellion examines Shiʿa rituals in contemporary Iran through ethnographic studies of urban religious gatherings, pilgrimage, and self-flagellation. The book explores how state regulation, religious authority, and everyday practice intersect, while showing how rituals can exceed the political and religious frameworks intended to govern them.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
