Abstract :
Dialogues are created with the aim of gaining power in the community and require a minimum of shared space to arise in the community. Whenever a discourse attempts to destroy and dismantle competing discourse symbols and challenge its ideological structures, it is discarded from its own circle and driven to another. Therefore, in the present study, the discourse challenges of two political forces in Iran, principled and reformist, as activists of discourse, were investigated in the years 1396-1392. This theory has been chosen as a theoretical framework, due to the subject matter as well as the remarkable ability of Ernestolaquella and Shantal Mouffe to explain socio-political phenomena. The results indicate that competing discourse of reformism is a fundamentalist discourse that uses elements of Exclusion and Foregrounding to design elements in different political domains and intensifies discourse challenges over time and competitively with others. It has done so with the aim of dismantling the rival on the eve of the twelfth presidential election, which ultimately ended with the hegemony of the Reformist-Moderation discourse in 1396 as the rival's semantic defeat.
