The studies gathered here examine how various forms of performances, especially theatre, have and continue to undergo change in response to shifting political and social settings from the antiquity to the present day. The analysis in this book focuses on performance practices, examining drama, texts, rituals, plays, music, cinema and drama technologies. This is done in order to show how Iran has been imagined through enactments and representations, and reproduced through these performative actions. The book uses a wider definition of the concept of 'performance', offering analysis of a wide range of phenomena, including indigenous rituals - such as the \u003ci\u003enaqqali \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003etaziyeh\u003c\/i\u003e - and online performances by diaspora communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBabak Rahimi \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Communication, Culture and Religion at the University of California, San Diego, USA.
