Abstract :

Today, science and technology policymaking has become one of the most important components in the development programs and documents of countries. From this point of view, science and technology take on different meanings and identities depending on the field of discourse. Therefore, the present study investigates the discourse analysis of science and technology policy in the fifth development program with the discourse analysis method of Laclau and Mouffe. The studied population was all the articles, clauses and notes included in the law of the fifth development plan, which were studied as a whole. The findings show that the discourse of science and technology policy in the fifth plan law is surrounded by meanings such as "commercialization of knowledge and technology", "targeted material support" and "professional competence". The floating sign of human empowerment is "idea-centric". Around the central sign, there are null signs in the discourse of the fifth development program of "negation of internal dependence" and "educational justice" which, despite the hegemony of the "universal-centered/world-centered" of the West, create the conditions for breaking the construction of the dominant hegemony. culture-oriented/landscape-oriented" have provided. The most important breaks and moments around the Central Plateau are "expansion of the quantity and quality of knowledge and technology", "closer to global standards", "launching science and technology poles and parks" and "fundamental transformation in science and technology (the software leap of science)" that these signs are also associated with a kind of myth-making due to the high prominence and neglect of general-centered/world-centered power; In this sense, by marginalizing "university" and "western and secular science", the culture-oriented/landscape-oriented hegemony has tried to destroy the myth of "achieving the second scientific and technological position in the region and stabilizing it until the end of the fifth plan". make the path.
