Abstract
The Iranian howzevi (seminarian) have been key to the Islamic regimeâs development. This paper takes as its critical focus the branding of the howzevi as the unenlightened for their support of the regime. I take de Certeauâs reading as poaching to look at how life scripts or ideologies failed to work through womenâs bodies. Drawing on fifteen months of fieldwork, I describe how they unsettled ideologies in their reading of de Maupassantâs âClair de Lune.â
