Resumen
Aquest article explora la conceptualització de la llibertat a les memòries de la periodista i activista digital iraniana-estatunidenca Masih Alinejad, tot examinant The Wind in My Hair: My Fight for Freedom in Modern Iran (2018) respecte a l’activisme d’Alineejad en el moviment "Dona, Vida, Llibertat" a l’Iran. S’utilitza un marc crític extret de les crítiques feministes del feminisme neoliberal i l’hospitalitat de Derrida per centrar-se en com Alinejad repeteix les narratives de la minoria model i l’excepcionalisme nord-americà. Aquestes narratives neoliberals tenen el potencial de convertir tant l’Iran com els Estats Units en llocs inhòspits per a les dones. L’article conclou que una lectura interseccional de l’enfocament neoliberal d’Alineejad sobre les experiències de les dones tant als Estats Units com a l’Iran demostra que no coincideix amb les reivindicacions del moviment "Dona, Vida, Llibertat".
