The document titled 'Beyond the Burka' by Yasamin Salari explores the semiotic value of clothing in Iran from the pre-monarchy to the post-revolutionary period of the 20th century. It examines how imposed dress codes reflect sociopolitical changes and citizen rights, emphasizing that these changes are not solely due to Islamic thought but are influenced by historical social dynamics and modernity. Utilizing Roland Barthes' theories on fashion, the project analyzes how clothing serves as a semiotic code that conveys deeper meanings related to class, gender, and political ideologies, particularly during significant shifts such as the Iranian Revolution.
