This dissertation examines a wide array of performance and media practices in the Iranian diasporas. It argues that any understanding of diasporic imagination and material culture demands an in-depth engagement with cultural histories, including genealogies of media and technologies. By focusing on performance and media practices in various geographical regions within the Iranian diasporas and putting contemporary practices in dialogue with their historical precedents, this dissertation argues that histories and archives in public and digital spaces help find points of connection in diasporas. I argue that Iranian diasporas, in all their complexities and effects, are fundamentally historical subjects. Diasporic Constellations ultimately posits that the affective engagements in the Iranian diasporas undergird our diasporic imaginations and matters. Using remix studies' broad definition of the remix as practices of "appropriation and transformation" of material and mass media texts, this project considers the remix as the aesthetics underpinning the selected diaspora cultural productions. The analysis of multiple case studies proves that the remix gives these Iranian diasporic remixers/curators and minoritarian artists techno compositional strategies to archive, queer the archival practice, and unarchive cultural histories. In doing so, the remix also offers a technology of remembrance in affective, visceral, trans-temporal, and interspecies archival encounters. In sum, despite their differences, the selected case studies this dissertation draws upon remember diasporic histories and pasts, and in doing so, envision alternative futurities that trespass hegemonic Iranian archives and historiographies.
