“…As a counterpoint to the emerging homonormativity of the twenty-first century, this paper seeks to identify and reevaluate the potential of queer chosen families as they are cinematically mediated, and historically located, in the context of the AIDS epidemic.

Channels of Iranian pastoral nomads on the YouTube network: Video narratives of the life of the Lori (Lur) Bakhtiari tribal people and ethnic group by Gorunović Gordana

“…This way of documenting the daily practices of nomadic families and clans is primarily an alternative way of making money on YouTube, but it is also an ethnocultural promotion of the Lor Bakhtiari ethnic and tribal group and a tourist advertisement of their homeland - mountain villages and seasonal camps in the Zagros region, Lordegan district and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.
