Abstract

Abstract This article navigates ruptures and transformations in the processes of resistance performed by Iranian workers between two key events of the history of contemporary Iran: the 1979 Revolution and the 2009 Green Movement. It explores how labor activism emerged in the Islamic Republic, and illustrates how it managed to survive. Drawing from the concepts of resistance, collective awareness and counter-conduct as its theoretical basis – between Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault – the article details the changing strategies that workers adopted over time and space to cope with the absence of trade unions, monitoring activities, and repression in the workplace. It demonstrates that workers' agency was never fully blocked by the Islamic Republic. However, it tests the limits imposed by the social context to discourage activism, beyond state coercive measures and policies.
伊朗工人运动的反抗轨迹与形式转换
摘要本文探讨了伊朗工人在当代伊朗历史上两个关键事件之间进行抵抗的过程中的破裂和转变:1979年革命和2009年绿色运动。它探讨了劳工激进主义是如何在伊斯兰共和国出现的,并说明了它是如何生存下来的。文章以Antonio Gramsci和Michel Foucault之间的抵抗、集体意识和反行为概念为理论基础,详细介绍了工人在时间和空间上为应对工会缺席、监督活动和工作场所镇压而采取的不断变化的策略。它表明,伊斯兰共和国从未完全阻止工人代理。然而,它测试了社会环境施加的限制,以阻止国家强制性措施和政策之外的激进主义。
