Discusses how contemporary Iranian and Middle Eastern thinkers and artists are forging a new postmodern vision.The insurgent, the poet, the mystic, the sectarian: these are four modes of subjectivity that have emerged amid Middle Eastern thoughts attempt to reverse, dethrone, or supersede modernity. Providing a theoretical overview of each of these existential stances, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh engages the views of thinkers and artists of the last several decades, primarily from Iran, but also from Arab, Turkish, North African, Armenian, Afghani, Chechen, and Kurdish backgrounds. He explores various dimensions of the Middle Eastern experience at the threshold of the postmodern moment, including revolutionary ideology, avantgarde literature, newwave cinema, and radicalextremist thought. The profound reinvention of concepts characteristic of such workfatalism, insurrection, disappearance, siegeprovide unique interpretations and confrontations with the modern period and its relationship to those who presumably fall outside its boundaries of selfconsciousness. Expanding the conversation, Mohaghegh contrasts the impressions of the Middle Eastern figures considered with those of the most incisive Western thinkers of modernity, such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Baudrillard, to offer an original global vision that crosses the EastWest divide.This is a fascinating book that accomplishes something absolutely unique: it weaves together several theories, it is historically attuned to the region, and it engages politics (local and international). Mohagheghs work is a genuinely novel contribution. Farhang Erfani, American University
