In folklore, many stories and narratives give life to the legendary fairy and make her an inseparable part of everyday life. Parig (which means fairy) appears in Zoroastrian texts as one of Ahriman’s allies. Accordingly, researchers presume that, due to a change in religious attitudes, the fairy who was the goddess of fertility in pre-Zoroastrian times was recreated in Zoroastrian mythology as a negative figure. However, what is astonishing is the role of the fairy in the views and beliefs of common people, who still think favourably of this ancient goddess. A fairy is a mysterious figure and therefore cannot be judged as totally good or bad. She is a beautiful woman and brings fertility; she is also, on the other hand, an enticing woman sworn to delude men. In short, a fairy’s contradictory nature of being both good and bad and her eternal presence in believers’ minds indicate the importance and status of this ancient goddess. The fairy is more popular in the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf than in the other parts of Iran. Associated with qanats (tunnels dug to carry water) and springs in central Iran, she is a mermaid in the regions near the Persian Gulf. What is notable in the folklore of Booshehr is the natives’ firm belief in the presence of various fairies in their everyday lives. This article sets out to study the different types of fairies in the folklore of Booshehr and to examine their differences and similarities by classifying them. It will also deal briefly with the concept of fairies in Iranian culture.

In 1994, during the International Conference on Population and Development convened by the United Nations in Cairo, a shocking video was shown, recorded by CNN and depicting the circumcision of a ten-year-old child living in the same city. Discourses around female circumcision were not new to Egypt or to the international community, but the video, a new episode in a recurrent scandal, enhanced the ‘war against bad government’ (Foucault 2003:38) – a war fought with ideological weapons produced by various forms of expert knowledge, among which were medical and feminist views. The assignment of value to the ‘integrity’ of the female body and to women’s freedom of choice, both designed according to Western canons, led to different actions to ‘save’ Egyptian women. In this context, development agencies fostered a widespread representation of the ‘victim’, the woman’s mutilated body. Such representation is functional to establishing programmes that do not guarantee freedom of choice but rather require adherence to another female model, one that defines the ‘modern’ woman. My article, based on ethnographic experience, highlights the complexity of these dynamics and the role played by humanitarianism within them. The female body becomes the arena in which local and international economic powers operate, disregarding a real understanding of the practice, its meanings and its eventual change.
