Abstract

Throughout Mohammad Khatami’s two presidential periods (1997-2001; 2001-2005), Iranian society experienced a powerful debate on the concepts of political space and the foundations of political action. An essential element in this debate was the students’ participation. Yet Khatami’s policy had the unexpected effect of bringing into the open the dissenting voices against the normative and authoritarian framing of the public space. As a result, Iranian society was exposed to the inherent contradictions of the system and its hazy functioning, jeopardizing for a moment the ascendancy of the religious revolutionary elites. In the protests of 1999 and 2003 it has been noticed a drive to reformulate, symbolically and institutionally, the boundaries between the public and private spheres that have ruled Iranian State-Society relations since 1979.
