Mashya and Mashyana Unearthed: Myth, Metonymy and the Unknowing Subject

By Hamid Dabashi

Using Iran as an example of an ancient civilization with a sustained course of continuity all the way to the present time, this book moves towards a philosophical reflection on the relationship between what we see and feel today when engaging with art, literature and film and what we have otherwise deeply buried in the forgotten layers of our collective consciousness from time immemorial.
