Majlis-i Taqlīd: Rām Kardan-i Zan-i Sarkash: Persian 1396

The book "The Assembly of Imitation: Taming the Rebellious Woman" by Davoud Fathali Beigi is a profound social and cultural critique that deals with the processes of imitation and its role in Iranian social structures. In this work, the author, with a sharp and critical eye, shows how imitation can become a tool for controlling and taming women. The book examines and analyzes cultural and social patterns in which women must behave according to existing laws and norms, and any deviation from these norms is considered "rebellious." In this work, Beigi, while examining the role of women in these cultural processes, deals with a social and cultural critique of imitation and shows how these imitation processes, especially in traditional societies, become a tool for regulating behaviors and personalities. By analyzing the history and various social trends, he tries to reveal the hidden dimensions of these processes. According to published reviews, this book is also notable in terms of its writing style. Beigi's language in this work is a combination of sharp criticism and detailed analysis that allows the reader to easily relate to complex social and cultural concepts. He uses various techniques of structural and discourse-based criticism to analyze social processes, and this feature gives the book depth and complexity. "The Imitation Chamber" does not only criticize gender and cultural norms, but also refers to the social and historical structures that have allowed these imitations and domestications to survive in Iranian society. The book is particularly successful in criticizing patriarchy and the processes that help reproduce male power. He emphasizes that this work, by using social and cultural analysis, raises issues that have received less attention in many societies, especially Iran. According to critics, this book has been able to carefully examine complex social and gender issues by using its fluent and at the same time complex language. According to Dr. Nazemi in the "Contemporary Literary Criticism Journal", this book is one of the works that can play an important role in changing traditional attitudes, especially regarding the position of women in society. In this work, Beigi clearly shows that the processes of imitation, while controlling individual behaviors, play a role in reproducing social and gender norms. One of the outstanding features of the book is its systematic structure. In each chapter, Beigi examines an aspect of the process of imitation and domestication, and this division allows the reader to become familiar with the author's concepts and analyses step by step. This feature, along with the use of reliable historical and contemporary sources, makes the book an important reference in cultural and social criticism. Finally, "The Assembly of Imitation: Taming the Rebellious Woman" should be considered not only as a social and cultural criticism but also as a comprehensive and structural analysis of gender and social issues in Iran. This book, by carefully reexamining cultural and imitative processes, especially in the context of women's issues, has been able to open new horizons in Iran's cultural and social discourse.
