Critical approaches to the study of topics related to Persian literature and Iranian culture have evolved in recent decades. The essays included in this volume collectively demonstrate the most recent creative approaches to the study of the Persian language, literature, and culture, and the way these methodologies have progressed academic debate.

This paper investigates the concept of global sisterhood and attempts to illustrate how the universalized ideas of Western feminism fails because the political, social, and historical backgrounds in various contexts aren’t taken into consideration. In the first part, the reactions to the unveiling act in Iran will be used as an example of the presumption of Western white feminists about the veiling. In the following part, on the contrary to Western ideas, how veiling can be used as a tool of resistance and asserting agency by a class of women in Cairo will be presented.

Cookbooks and food remains in the medieval towns of Norway: Three preserved collections of medieval food recipes are written in Norse languages. One of these is probably based on a Norwegian edition. Too what degree do the recipes present relevant information about the food culture in the medieval towns of Norway? A compilation of sources shows a relatively large discrepancy between the food remains found in Norwegian medieval towns and the ingredients mentioned in the preserved Norse food recipes. The recipes do not reflect the diet of an average urban inhabitant in the medieval Norway as it appears in the archaeological sources. Despite this, the recipes can nevertheless contribute to insights into food trends that might be traced through more detailed investigations of archaeological material and historical sources from high status contexts. As an expression of a modern and international cuisine that signalled high status, the collections of medieval food recipes are relevant sources of information on food culture in the Norwegian medieval towns.

Conceiving of the image’s capacity to negate may be considered to represent a major challenge for any theory of the visual domain; nevertheless, there is no tradition of research on the capacity of the image to negate what it represents. This papers aims at proposing an enunciative point of view of this issue, stating that the image, far from limiting itself to affirmatively assuming what it displays, can modulate the degrees by which it assumes what it represents. Enunciative perspective will enable me to define the image as a non-irenic locus where the figures of enunciator and observer may compete with respect to visibility and knowledge through a conflict of perspectives. This will make me able to show that the image consists not only in presenting something to the eyes but that it can also argument, for example, by denying what it showcases. This approach will be put to the test of semiotic analysis of painting and photography.
