Remaking the Craft: Reflections on Pedagogy, Ethnography, and Anthropology in Iran.

The author comments on anthropology professor Nahal Naficy's ethnographic account of the possibilities and institutional challenges to the disciplinary life of anthropology in Iran. He argues that Naficy's paper is a call on Iranian anthropologists to rethink pedagogy and address the important issue of disciplinary identity. He also discusses the link between the 1979 Revolution on the current preoccupation of Iranian social sciences with concepts of modernity and cultural identity.
