Modernity, Sexuality, and Ideology in Iran represents a significant moment
in artistic resurrection and re-vision. It examines the life and work of a discarded
Iranian female popular artist known as Shahrzad (b. 1946). Through
critical attention previously denied to Shahrzad, Talattof honors her creative
contributions and, by extension, recognizes and honors artists like her who
have been marginalized for the last several decades, their art labeled as
“shameful” or “profane” due to their unacceptable sexual roles as dancers,
singers, and actresses. Through the lens of her life and legacy, he argues that
true modernity can never fully emerge without space for the discussion of
sexuality – especially that of women.

1970s. While detailing and noting the significance of her accomplishments,
he asks why she has not been so recognized and locates that question along a
line of inquiry as regards Iran’s “missing” modernity. He asks why a nation
with such a long tradition of the scientific and socio-cultural accomplishments
seems suddenly stuck in a medieval mindset, selectively applying modernity
