Abstract
Analysis of questions related to late 20th-century urban geographies (the onscreen depiction of bodies - both individual and collective, and, crucially, female - as socially significant spaces; and an individual experience of exile and its in-between spaces) as they emerge in Marjane Satrapi's film Persepolis.
