Description
This book explores the concept of the veiled voice, which conceals the bodily aspects of the voice and suppresses its discursive power. Focusing on the veiling of women’s voices in New Iranian Cinema, it examines their relationship to authoritative voices, their limitations within cinematic space, and their detachment from the female body. The book argues that this detachment can function as a feminist strategy to bypass restrictions on women’s on-screen representation. It analyzes how female voices are marginalized structurally and narratively within patriarchal frameworks and investigates moments of unveiling, where the female voice becomes an object of aesthetic admiration and desire while navigating censorship.
