ABSTRACT

This paper presents a research project, « OFF-SITE : Violence, State formation and memory politics: an off-site ethnography of post-revolution Iran » (ERC starting grant 2019-2023) which departure point is a reflexive investigation on the production of knowledge in Iranian studies and its relations to the shaping of public space in Iran.

The research project will start in January 2019, hence the aim of this paper and presentation is to discuss the hypotheses and methodologies envisionned for the research, which draw from an analysis of the power-knowledge relationship in Iranian studies and maybe more generally in social science based on empirical fieldwork.
