Summary
"This book uses the case of Artists' House, a cultural center in Tehran, to place the socio-political implications of Iran's social and cultural transformation in a local-global context. The author examines the bipolar dimension of openness to change versus conservation and the role of these values in both in Iranian society generally and in the context of everyday life in Tehran. The text addresses reflexive interaction of the youth with technology and mass communications, law, society, traditional and religious perceptions and values, and contemporary questions concerning body, self, identity, shared emotions, and lifestyle. It explores the Artists' House as an alternative space that contributes to the emergence, continuance, and coexistence of new ideas, norms and values"--
