Abstract

Studying the book Disciplining Women (al-Ta'adib al-Niswan), this research aims to examine the concept of Gender as a social construct in order to show how the boundaries of body are defined and then suppressed by linguistic mechanisms. Where body is understood by language it becomes a social and cultural construction which does not leave any way to understand the material and biological phenomenon of body. In Disciplining Women the body is intrinsically disturbing, abnormal, and antisocial. It is the occurrence and display of this kind of body that led the Qajar prince to write a book to correct it. His letter of advice (the book) illustrates the general pattern of patriarchal discourse in Iran, which considers Gender as a limiting and natural characteristic of women. In this book the male subject purges himself by symbolic contamination and alienation of female body to draw a clear line between him and that ‘ other’ , which is both stranger and sufficiently familiar.
