Abstract
“Revolution is a rapture in the course of time”, argues Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, the prominent Iranian scholar referring to the Iranian Revolution of 1979. As a moment of “creative pause” to shape a new order (to quote again Ghamari), nobody is aware of the outcome of the revolution, nor how it will change internal socio-political dimensions. Popular enthusiasm is often dampened by the succeeding phase of the revolution, in which only a voice of the revolutionary chorus enforces a normalization that takes over the other forces, without disdaining the use of violence.
