Ray Ban in Abadan: Oil Urbanism and Cultural History in the Iranian Petroleumscape

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperResearch

Abstract

In this paper, I argue that popular representations of the Iranian oil city of Abadan reflect particular connections and disconnections in the history of oil modernity and its spatial manifestations in Iran. These representations simultaneously bring to view and obscure the forces of petro-capitalism and the experiences of those living right in the middle of petroleum production.
