Negative Freedom Vs. Positive Freedom In Marjane Satrapi’s Perspolis : Quest For Illusory Reality

Auteurs : Boutiara Hind . Chami Nidhal .

Résumé

Based on Isaiah Berlin’s concepts of liberty, this paper sheds light on the threats surrounding women's protest marches against patriarchal bigotry through Marjane Satrapi’s Perspolis. It aims to gauge a woman's reactionary move towards the realization of her own space, which may appear in the guise of a legitimate claim in her favor rather than an unyielding and impulsive greediness for more rights and liberties. This study shows that women’s pursuit of freedom from the shackles of phallocentric decrees may unintentionally shepherd her to a state of illusory reality, granting her ‘freedom from’ not ‘freedom to'; negative in lieu of positive.
