Following on the work of Foucault, Gagnon, Laqueur, and others, the premise of the book is that people shape their ideas of what is permissible, define boundaries of right and wrong, and imagine their sexual worlds through the set of discourses available to them. Dror Ze'evi finds that while some of these discourses were restrictive and others more permissive, all treated sex in its many manifestations as a natural human pursuit. And, he further argues that all these discourses were transformed and finally silenced in the last century, leaving very little to inform Middle Eastern societies in sexual matters. With its innovative approach toward the history of sexuality in the Middle East, Producing Desire sheds new light on the history of the Ottoman Empire, on the history of sexuality and gender, and on the Islamic Middle East today.Studies on the history of society and culture ;52.Sex customsMiddle EastDesireSex customsDesire.306.7/0956/090315.75bclZeevi Dror1953-1477003MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911101674803321Producing desire4695908UNINA04539nam 2200745 a 450 991114340300332120251117092342.09780804784351080478435310.1515/9780804784351(CKB)2670000000275458(EBL)1040651(OCoLC)820120444(SSID)ssj0000780853(PQKBManifestationID)12366521(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000780853(PQKBWorkID)10803186(PQKB)10686632(StDuBDS)EDZ0000128016(MiAaPQ)EBC1040651(DE-B1597)563525(DE-B1597)9780804784351(Au-PeEL)EBL1040651(CaPaEBR)ebr10611503(OCoLC)1178770239(Perlego)745434(EXLCZ)99267000000027545820120615d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMiddle East authoritarianisms governance, contestation, and regime resilience in Syria and Iran /edited by Steven Heydemann and Reinoud Leenders1st ed.Stanford, California Stanford University Press20131 online resource (313 p.)Stanford Studies in Middle Eastern and Islamic Societies and CulturesStanford studies in Middle Eastern and Islamic societies and culturesDescription based upon print version of record.9780804793339 0804793336 9780804783019 0804783012 Includes bibliographical references and index.Authoritarian governance in Syria and Iran : challenged, reconfiguring and resilient / Steven Heydemann and Reinoud Leenders -- The economics of authoritarian upgrading in Syria : liberalization and the reconfiguration of economic networks / Caroline Donati -- A martyrs' welfare state and its contradictions : regime resilience and limits through the lens of social policy in Iran / Kevan Harris -- The state management of religion in Syria : the end of "indirect rule"? / Thomas Pierret -- Islamic social movements and the Syrian authoritarian regime : shifting patterns of control and accommodation / Teije Hidde Donker -- Contesting governance : authority, protest, and rights talk in postrepublican Iran / Arzoo Osanloo -- Who laughs last : literary transformations of Syrian authoritarianism / Max Weiss -- Prosecuting political dissent : courts and the resilience of authoritarianism in Syria / Reinoud Leenders -- Democratic struggles and authoritarian responses in Iran in comparative perspective / Güneş Murat Tezcür -- Authoritarian resilience and international linkages in Iran and Syria / Anush Ehteshami, Raymond Hinnebusch, Heidi Huuhtanen, Paola Raunio, Maaike Warnaar, and Tina Zintl.The developments of early 2011 changes the political landscape of the Middle East. But even as urgent struggles continue, it remains clear that authoritarianism will survive this transformational moment. The study of authoritarian governance, therefore, remains essential for our understanding of the political dynamics and inner workings of regimes across the region. This volume considers the Syrian and Iranian regimes—what they share in common and what distinguishes them. Too frequently, authoritarianism has been assumed to be a generic descriptor of the region and differences among regimes have been overlooked. But as the political trajectories of Middle Eastern states diverge in years ahead, with some perhaps consolidating democratic gains while others remaining under distinct and resilient forms of authoritarian rule, understanding variations in modes of authoritarian governance and the attributes that promote regime resilience becomes an increasingly urgent priority.Stanford studies in Middle Eastern and Islamic societies and cultures.AuthoritarianismSyriaAuthoritarianismIranSyriaPolitics and governmentIranPolitics and governmentAuthoritarianismAuthoritarianism320.955MH 60600rvkHeydemann StevenLeenders ReinoudMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911143403003321UNINA$56.2512/26/2019Poli
