This dissertation presents a close analysis of certain observables that make visible “human rights” discourse or activity related to the Islamic Republic of Iran today. It presents an examination of a series of texts that give “human rights” its shape: from academic and journalistic accounts to online data aggregators, film, social media, and related policies. It traces its use by competing actors: from activists and politicians to business leaders and academics. In so doing, the dissertation reveals important political, emotional, intellectual, and socioeconomic contestations that arise through use of the human rights framework.The dissertation sheds light on the motivations and methods of entities that take up the human rights framework as a political strategy. It narrates the relations between observables, revealing the architecture of a human rights “industry” that consumes and produces knowledge about Iranians and the Islamic Republic of Iran. In so doing, this dissertation reveals the vulnerability of the human rights discourse and activities to other projects and finds that the human rights industry motors a form of (neo)Orientalism that should be interrupted if the network of actors around the world that are set up to address violations of “human rights” are to be effective at helping to maintain or uphold the dignity and freedom of Iranians in a sustainable way.
