Iranian dress culture (women's dress and its change after revolution)
Kubošová, Kamila ; Korecká, Zuzana (referee) ; Štěpánová, Irena (advisor)
I have structured my thesis into four sections. In the first section, I describe the clothing, make-up and physical appearance that is expected of a woman in public. The second section of my thesis focuses on the influence politics and legal regulations had on women's clothing and women's reactions to these. In the third and fourth sections I explore both my theoretical view and the views of Iranian women I surveyed on the reasons for the important role clothing plays in the society, and why does even the state pay so much attention to the women's apparance. My thesis focuses on the cloting of women in cities, for all changes are significantly faster and sooner apparent in cities than in the conservative countryside. It is from the cities that changes are spread throughout the country. Cities also connect Iran to outside world and are therefore under the influence of other cultures. Although the clothing style of Iranian women absorbs and incorporates foreign elements, these are taken out of the original context and used in new unique ways. 60
