Joan Copjec, professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, focuses her theoretical lens on a broad range of interests: cinema, psychoanalysis, feminism, philosophy, political theory, and architecture. Her upcoming book, “Short Circuits Cloud: Between Paris and Tehran” features the theoretical examination of veiling, shame, and modesty in the films of the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami through the lenses of Islamic philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
