• Sommario/riassunto: This book discusses what it means to 'perform the State' what this action means in relation to the country of Iran and how these various performances are represented. The concept of the 'State' as a modern phenomenon has had a powerful impact on the formation of the individual and collective, as well as on determining how political entities are perceived in their interactions with one another in the current global arena.
