Darwin SabouriCultural Sociologist Exploring Language, Identity, and National Narratives

The authentic in the collision of event and time

Darwin Sabouri views history as a dynamic interaction of “events” and “time,” where events rest on the fabric of social time to form defining moments. These moments, while giving history a fixed appearance, are constantly challenged by the social flux of time. In this dialectical interplay, history becomes fluid and fragile, always seeking consensus for redefinition. Through the lens of social philosophy, Sabouri will explore how authenticity situates itself as a timeless element—able to unite individuals through the interplay of events and time, and guide history toward renewed stability.

Darwin Sabouri
Darwin Sabouri is a liberal Iranian sociologist based in Tehran. Beginning his academic journey in social research, Sabouri later pursued anthropology with a focus on culture and its processes. For his master’s studies, he examined the intersection of language and culture, notably investigating the role of curses in Iranian society, a concept he termed “the cursed share of language.”

Sabouri’s academic contributions include teaching social theory and serving as an editor for cultural studies journals. Now an independent scholar, he believes that Iran’s future will be illuminated by embracing concepts such as “nationalism” and “national interest.”
