Is psychoanalysis possible in the Islamic Republic of Iran? This is the question that Gohar Homayounpour poses to herself, and to us, at the beginning of this memoir of displacement, nostalgia, love, and pain. Twenty years after leaving her country, Homayounpour, an Iranian, Western-trained psychoanalyst, returns to Tehran to establish a psychoanalytic practice. When an American colleague exclaims, “I do not think that Iranians can free-associate!” Homayounpour responds that in her opinion Iranians do nothing but. Iranian culture, she says, revolves around stories. Why wouldn’t Freud’s methods work, given Iranians’ need to talk? Thus begins a fascinating narrative of interlocking stories that resembles--more than a little--a psychoanalytic session. Homayounpour recounts the pleasure and pain of returning to her motherland, her passion for the work of Milan Kundera, her complex relationship with Kundera’s Iranian translator (her father), and her own and other Iranians’ anxieties of influence and disobedience. Woven throughout the narrative are glimpses of her sometimes frustrating, always candid, sessions with patients. Ms. N, a famous artist, dreams of abandonment and sits in the analyst’s chair rather than on the analysand’s couch; a young chador-clad woman expresses shame because she has lost her virginity; an eloquently suicidal young man cannot kill himself. As a psychoanalyst, Homayounpour knows that behind every story told is another story that remains untold. Doing Psychoanalysis in Tehran connects the stories, spoken and unspoken, that ordinary Iranians tell about their lives before their hour is up. About the Author Gohar Homayounpour is a practicing psychoanalyst in Tehran. She trains and supervises the psychoanalysts of the Freudian Group of Tehran and is Professor of Psychology at Shahid Besheti University Tehran.

Par un jour orageux de 2007, Abbas Kiarostami décide de s'échapper de Téhéran : " J'ai fait mon sac, sans oublier mon appareil photo et ma caméra numérique. La pluie tombe depuis hier soir, ponctuée d'éclairs, mais ce n'est pas ce qui va me faire changer d'avis, bien au contraire. " A l'abri dans l'habitacle de sa voiture, le cinéaste iranien prend à la volée des photos du paysage urbain et de la campagne. Cette série donne à voir, à travers le ruissellement de la pluie sur le pare-brise, des hautes silhouettes d'arbres dégoulinants, l'éclat tremblé des phares des voitures, ou encore, au bord de la route, un pan de mur jaune. Des images en couleurs, mais où dominent les gris et les noirs, et qui sont autant de tableaux. Cinéaste, photographe et poète, Abbas Kiarostami est né le 22 juin 1940 à Téhéran, Il est reconnu, depuis le début des années 1990, comme l'une des grandes figures du cinéma contemporain. Palme d'Or à Cannes en 1997 pour Le Goût de la cerise, il a reçu deux ans plus tard le Grand Prix spécial du jury à la Mostra de Venise pour Le vent nous emportera. Ses photographies ont été exposées dans le monde entier, notamment à Londres, au Victoria & Albert Museum et à New York, au MoMa, ou encore, en 2007-2008, au Centre Pompidou à Paris et dans cinq métropoles chinoises.
