This thesis explores the complex intersection of religion, power, and female resistance in contemporary Iran, a country characterized by a theocratic regime. The work analyzes the structure of institutional power, focusing on the dynamics between the Supreme Leader and the President, and the pervasive nature of Islamic law (Sharia) as the foundation for political and social decisions. Particular attention is dedicated to the condition of Iranian women within this regulatory framework. The study examines the case of Mahsa Amini (2022) and the subsequent waves of nationwide protests, stemming from the repression linked to the imposition of the mandatory veil. In this context, it analyzes how the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" has become an emblem of the struggle, highlighting the central role and increasing visibility of women in political protest against the regime.
La presente tesi indaga l'intersezione complessa tra religione, potere e resistenza femminile nell'Iran contemporaneo, un paese caratterizzato da un regime teocratico. Il lavoro analizza la struttura del potere istituzionale, focalizzandosi sulle dinamiche tra la Guida Suprema e il Presidente, e la pervasività della legge islamica (sharia) come fondamento delle decisioni politiche e sociali. Particolare attenzione è dedicata alla condizione delle donne iraniane all'interno di questo quadro normativo. Lo studio esamina il caso di Mahsa Amini (2022) e le conseguenti ondate di protesta su scala nazionale, scaturite dalla repressione legata all'imposizione del velo obbligatorio. In questo contesto, si analizza come lo slogan "Donne, Vita, Libertà" sia divenuto un emblema della lotta, evidenziando il ruolo centrale e la crescente visibilità delle donne nella protesta politica contro il regime.

Abstract
This thesis explores the complex intersection of religion, power, and female resistance in contemporary Iran, a country characterized by a theocratic regime. The work analyzes the structure of institutional power, focusing on the dynamics between the Supreme Leader and the President, and the pervasive nature of Islamic law (Sharia) as the foundation for political and social decisions. Particular attention is dedicated to the condition of Iranian women within this regulatory framework. The study examines the case of Mahsa Amini (2022) and the subsequent waves of nationwide protests, stemming from the repression linked to the imposition of the mandatory veil. In this context, it analyzes how the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" has become an emblem of the struggle, highlighting the central role and increasing visibility of women in political protest against the regime.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
