Abstract:

This volume surveys political satire as a journalistic genre in Iran since the
latter days of the Qajar dynasty to the present, thus spanning one century and
more. It is an important resource, but it also provides an analysis. Moreover,
this volume is a rare effort to answer a question that looks simple but is
very complicated: “Why would someone produce satire, knowing that this act
might be followed by dangerous consequences?”, and to find out what motivates
political satirists. For this aim, nine prominent political satirists have
been interviewed: writers and cartoonists, men and women, those who live
abroad and those who still live in Iran. The author analyses this data in
relation to, among other things, the main theories of humor to provide a
descriptive report for each satirist’s motivations as well as the strength of
each motivational element in a general comparative context.
