| Abstract: | In recent years, Iranian 'quality cinema' has presented itself as a significant branch of the world's cinematic practices and discourses. Similarly, the scholarship on cinematic aspects and approaches as well as the evolution of this cinema has attracted universal attention. The field of studies on the evolution of Iranian contemporary cinema covers a relatively broad spectrum of insights, themes, genres and approaches, which requires a systematic form of categorisation and critical evaluation. Underpinning the research strategy of the existing literary works on Iranian cinema, I have assorted them into eight thematic categories: Film directories, film auteurology, descriptive-pictorial history of Iranian cinema, analytical history of Iranian cinema, film criticism, themeology, stylistics, representation of women in Iranian cinema. Providing a practical description on each of these literary resources and sorting them according to their research strategy will help researchers to gain an explicit sense of the relevant data regarding the research scope. Moreover, critical evaluation of the existing literature will facilitate identifying the research gap in this context. Another advantage of this thematic categorisation is the ease of searching for information in the range of published scholarship on Iranian cinema. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
