Não nos submeteremos ao Xá nem ao Aiatolá: religião e relações de gênero em Persépolis e Bordados, de Marjane Satrapi (1978 -1994).

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the feminine movement, the gender relations and the religion present in the Graphic Novels Persépolis and Embroidery, by the Iranian artist Marjane Satrapi. Marjane was born in Iran in 1968 and grew up in the political trajectory of the Iranian Revolution and in the consolidation of the Islamic Republic through the new anti-imperialist social norms established in the country. After leaving the country in 1994 for political disagreements, Marjane launched Persépoilis, her autobiography in Graphic Novel format between 1999 and 2003 in France. In 2003 Marjane launches Embroideries, a complementary work to Persépolis which discusses the female and intergenerational relations inserted in the taboos of the sexuality of the Iranian woman. From the analysis of these works, we intend to reflect on the positions and political influences of Marjane, we also highlight in this analysis, the presence and importance of the Islamic sector of the women's movement in Iran during the consolidation of the Islamic Republic, movement of women quite evidenced by Marjane in Persepolis. To think about these issues, we have raised theoretical discussions about gender relations in the Muslim world, Islamic feminism, religion, intergenerationality, and Orientalism.
