Abstract

This paper explores the intersections of media, authority, and women's subjectivity in post-Mahsa Iran through Lacanian psychoanalysis. We examine digital activism on X (formerly Twitter) following Mahsa Amini's death in 2022, focusing on how women resist state-imposed hijab laws by deploying hashtags as tools of symbolic disruption. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze 20 hijab-related hashtags from 2018 to 2023 to reveal how these campaigns express resistance and shape psychological subjectification. Our findings underscore women's resistance as both a site of subjectivity and political agency, illustrating how digital activism fosters feminist identity, symbolic defiance, and subject formation under authoritarian rule.

标签抵抗：后马赫萨时代伊朗的媒体、权威与女性主体性。

本文通过拉康精神分析，探讨后马赫萨时代伊朗媒体、权威和女性主体性的交集。在2022年马赫萨·阿米尼去世后，我们研究了X（以前的Twitter）上的数字激进主义，重点关注女性如何通过使用标签作为象征性破坏的工具来抵制国家强加的头巾法律。我们使用混合方法分析了2018年至2023年期间与头巾相关的20个话题标签，以揭示这些运动如何表达抵抗并塑造心理主体化。我们的研究结果强调了女性作为主体性和政治主体的抵抗，说明了数字行动主义如何在威权统治下促进女权主义身份、象征性反抗和主体形成。
