Abstract :

The category of identity has different cognitive types that are reproduced in various narratives of Iranian identity and transmitted in generational changes. Is a typology of Iranian identity from the perspective of cultural management? In terms of the qualitative implementation process, in terms of descriptive purpose, the current research is a library of concepts and theories related to identity and related research literature. It is also practical in terms of results and consequences. It shows that the category of identity is classified in different ways. In terms of Essence, identity includes Intrinsic and Acquired, in terms of the level of analysis, it includes individual and Collective, in terms of discourse, it includes Traditional, Modern, Postmodern, and Islamic Revolution of Iran, in terms of semantic system, it includes legitimizing identity, procedure, and resistance, and in terms of function, it includes National identity. It has its own dimensions, components and indicators. This typology in the field of Iranian identity leads to three nationalist, modern, postmodern and historical narratives. According to the different narratives of Iranian identity, through cultural management, identity can be managed in such a way that despite the internal and external changes, it can hold and promote itself in the worldwide sphere.
