This article explores the formation of the modern legal subject in post-constitutional and Pahlavi Iran (1906-1979) and its relationship to citizenship. It first explores, at an abstract level, the relationship between law, subject-formation and citizenship before looking at the historical and comparative aspects of personhood in the Western and Islamic legal traditions. This forms the backdrop for analysis of the legal reforms triggered by the Constitutional Revolution of 1906, with a particular focus on the civil and penal codes which were promulgated under Reza Shah and the complex and conflicted notions of subjectivity and citizenship which they nurtured. The article will conclude with some observations about the relationship between law, subjectivity and citizenship between the two revolutions and beyond.Este artículo examina la formación del sujeto jurídico moderno en el Irán posconstitucional y en la era de los Pahlaví (1906-1979) y su relación con la ciudadanía. En primer lugar, analiza, en un nivel abstracto, la relación entre derecho, formación de sujeto y ciudadanía; después, se fija en los aspectos históricos y comparativos de la persona en las tradiciones jurídicas occidental e islámica. Esto configura el panorama para el análisis de las reformas jurídicas impulsadas por la Revolución Constitucional de 1906, con especial atención en los códigos civil y penal que fueron promulgados durante el reinado de Reza Pahlaví, y las complejas y conflictivas nociones de subjetividad y ciudadanía que aquéllos alimentaron. El artículo concluye con algunas observaciones sobre la relación entre derecho, subjetividad y ciudadanía entre las dos revoluciones y más allá.
