Iranische Nationalspielerinnen als Männer entlarvt

Der iranische Fußballverband schaut seinen Spielerinnen unter den Rock. Sie müssen sich einem Geschlechtstest unterziehen. Zuvor waren vier Frauen aus der Nationalelf als Männer entlarvt worden.

Ich schaue in diesen Strang nur gelegentlich rein und finde eher nicht das, was ich von meinen iranischen Kunden von iranischem Alltag erzählt bekomme. Mag schon sein, daß die Schicht, mit der ich da zu tun habe (Fast alle wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter, Dozenten oder auch Studenten an der Uni KL) nicht den gleichen Alltag hat, wie der Durchschnittsiraner. Nur fiel mir hier halt auf, daß Repression mit Alltagskultur Meiner Ansicht nach recht wenig zu tun hat.

Teheran, ganz alltäglich

Eine Gruppe junger iranischer Fotografen porträtiert die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner von Teheran in ihrem alltäglichen Leben und stellt die Bilder auf Facebook. Das Projekt »Humans of Tehran« fordert täglich die Zensur des Regimes heraus und will gleichzeitig »dem Westen« eine Realität zeigen, deren Wahrnehmung oft durch ideologische Bewertungen, Klischees und Vorurteile verzerrt ist.

Misreading Feminism & Women’s Rights in Tehran: Beyond Chadors, Ninjabis, & Secular Fantasies

It is nearly impossible to read any article about Iranian women and not spend the entire time rolling your eyes. Historically, the Western media has tended to make liberal use of Orientalist and infantilizing depictions of Iranian women as, alternatively, trapped in the harems of their turbaned overseers (a historically pre-1979 trope applied liberally to all Middle Eastern women) or militantly crazed and clad in black “traditional garb” (a post-1979 trope specific to Iranian, and later Islamist, women).

Since 9/11, meanwhile, these depictions have become increasingly politicized within the War on Terror “white men saving brown women from brown men” paradigm (so brilliantly identified by Gayatri Spivak & explored by, among others, Saba Mahmood & Lila Abu Lughod). Despite the increase in rightwing rhetoric calling for war on Iran, however, the charge that Iranian women are mistreated and must be saved (like their Afghan sisters, as NATO and some neo-colonial minded collaborators at Amnesty International would have you believe) has not quite caught on.

The recent controversy over the Iranian women “ninjas” offers some insight into why it has thus far been quite difficult to convince Americans of the need to save Iranian women. On 2 February, Press TV ran a clip describing the increasing popularity of ninjutsu, a Japanese martial art, among Iranian women in a dojo in Karaj, a Tehran suburb. Reuters subsequently ran a story on the video with the headline, “Thousands of Female Ninjas train as Iran’s Assassins,” and on 18 February, the Telegraph ran a story entitled, “Iran trains ninjas as potential assassins,” one of many other news outlets that wrote pieces about a secret army of Iranian women ninjas that were being trained for war. Of course, this was all utter nonsense, though few of the agencies- besides Reuters- bothered to correct their mistakes.

As it became clearer that the ninja army angle was failing, other sites began to take a nominally feminist stance. The Guardian ran a piece discussing how the ninjas were “fighting for sexual equality,” and the Atlantic came out with an article that answered the question of “Why thousands of Iranian women are training to be ninjas” with: “In a society that treats them like children, sports — and especially martial arts — offer a way to express strength and independence,” proceeding to detail how marginalized Iranian women are in the Iranian public sphere, where their participation is “arduous and painful.”

The Iranian women “ninjas” themselves, sufficiently pissed off at Reuters for starting this whole insulting mess, subsequently sued the agency for defamation.

So what the hell happened?

An Iranian channel ran a story about how a certain kind of martial arts is enjoying increasing popularity among Iranian women. This means that a) Iranian women have rights, b) Iranian women can access the public sphere, c) Iranian women participate in organized, public sports, and d) an Iranian government news channel has no problem with any of this.
