        In the social atmosphere of the constitutional period (the end of the Qajar era), the minbars of the clergymen had an important and prestigious position as a factor of social cohesion. In this research, by using “Bourdieu Theory”, the position of the preaching and speech has been analyzed and it has been studied by explaining concepts such as “field”, “capital”, “habits” and “action”. Using Bourdieu's field theory, we considered that “religious pulpit” had what characteristics, achievements and feedbacks in the constitutional period. Based on Bourdieu's theory, it is assumed that the pulpit has a wide field, with special habits of the religious beliefs of the people, in mobilizing the masses, demanding constitutionalism and the establishment of the parliament. The findings of this historical research show that during this period, the “minbar field” relatively enjoyed the triple levers of the field (independence, power and conflict over capital) and had an effective presence in most of the constitutional events, of course, it has also been damaged by the confrontation of some fields.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: housing structure has been constantly forming and changing during history and has been influenced by thounsands of phenomena and factors.

        Sociological analysis of types of violence is an important issue that can be addressed using the views of theorists such as Bourdieu. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to analyze the female characters in the novels "My Bird" by Fariba Wafi and "The Forbidden Book" by Alba Accessups. And by comparatively examining the extent of the impact of violence in the social, cultural, and activist contexts of women and men, it shows how violence (especially explicit and active male violence) and the representation of the limitations of women in both societies are externalized. Forms of systemic, symbolic, covert, and actionable violence are imposed on women with the complicity of perpetrators in the absent strata of society. The results of the study in comparison between male and female social actors show that women are victims of various types of violence and social controls, in the production and reproduction of capital in social and cultural spaces are inferior to men. The rate of violence against men is lower and much lower than that of women and children. The activism of men in society by resorting to male domination and patriarchal rule of societies in five types of violence (symbolic, systemic, physical, sexual and linguistic) is more than women and children. Systemic violence and symbolic violence covertly harm women more than physical and verbal violence. On the other hand, the complicity and dominance of women communities and women activists paves the way for male domination over women. Manuscript profile

        Introduction:This article seeks to analyze sport and its functions in Berdieu's theoretical apparatus. Along with the genealogy of modern sports, he has analyzed the educational, educational, economic, social and political functions of this phenomenon, and it is considered that this phenomenon is a part of the process of political power, soft domination, and new education. Methodology:The research method of this article is historical and the technique of documents and library is used. In this study, Bourdieu's works in the field of sports, which were based on surveys and field findings, were examined. Findings:The findings of this study indicate that Bourdieu considered sports as a social and composite phenomenon that consists of multiple elements. Bourdieu considers sport to be class-oriented and one of the aspects of class separation. Based on this, people do not have absolute freedom in choosing sports, but their choice is limited by their class characteristics. Conclusion:Bourdieu concludes, today the diverse functions of sports have caused this phenomenon to be considered beyond sports. In his opinion, sports are a low-cost tool to entertain and enrich students' free time and a tool in the hands of the ruling class to advertise and legitimize the system. Bourdieu introduced sports in close connection with the field of political power and considered it as a field of competition for power, and it is because of this that sports is a mechanism for the mobilization and symbolic conquest of the masses and a means of domination by governments. He also believed that the spread of modern sports among the strata and mass of European society left a tremendous impact. Modern sports are a low-cost means of entertaining students and enriching their free time and filling their idle hours. According to him, taking care of students with sports will be simple and inexpensive. Therefore, Bourdieu considers modern sports as a part of the new education process and considers the function of this type of sports in day and night schools as an educational function. Economic mechanism in order to monitor and discharge violence and moderate their aggression. On the other hand, according to Bourdieu, sport is a field to compete for power. It is a tool in the hands of the ruling class as a symbolic political mobilization and conquest of the masses, therefore it believes that institutions such as parties, unions and churches compete with each other in attracting young people.

         Stories, by reflecting the norms and values ​​of society, play an important role in reproducing gender identity and status. Criticism of literary texts from such a perspective helps to represent the position of women in society based on having different types of capital. The present study, with reference to library sources and a comparative approach as well as descriptive-analytical method, examines the stories of "Samanoopazan" and "Ganj" by Jalal Al-Ahmad with the stories of "Sargozasht-e-Koocheh" and "Shahri chon Behesht" by Simin Daneshvar Paid And has analyzed and interpreted the types of women's cultural capital in these stories according to the approach of Pierre Bourdieu's types of capital to answer the question of how the cultural assets of female characters are reflected in the stories of Al-Ahmad and Daneshvar? The findings of this study, referring to the meager cultural capital of women, represent the patriarchal atmosphere of Iranian society and show that women in these stories, out of ignorance and lack of cultural capital, step in any direction than men (even wicked and vulgar men). Do not move away and stay in the same humble position. These women are satisfied with their meager cultural capital and show no signs of self-fulfillment. Manuscript profile

         In the sociology of literature, which is an interdisciplinary science, literature is viewed as one of the social institutions that is influenced by the developments of social life.

His personality is visible. Manuscript profile

        Pierre Bourdieu's theory of types of capital represents capitals and the effect of their types on each other in different ways. In Bourdieu's definition, the types of capital are: "Economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital". This article, with a comparative look at the habits influenced by the capitals of female narrators in the novels "My Bird" and "Forbidden Notebook", examines the effect of capitals on each other and changes the habits of female narrators, and shows with a descriptive-analytical method what effect the habits have on creating They have positive and negative funds. The most obvious negative habits of female actors in novels; Silence, passivity, isolation, submission and satisfaction of the men of the family without the least action and protest are in line with the otherness of the narrator's women and the most specific positive habits; Loyalty, motherhood, sense of responsibility, sacrifice and kindness. As a result, the nature of women's habits has either not changed, or has progressed in the direction of negative and negative production and reproduction, or if there is a slight change in the production and reproduction of positive capitals, it is pale in the shadow of the passivity of the narrators. The comparative result of the research shows the common structural position of two women in two different societies, whose similar and repeated experiences create common traits and habits. These similar behaviors and habits, in turn, give structure to their positive or negative social actions; That is, it sets guidelines and limits their activity. Or in very few social spaces, it removes passivity and limitations. But in the end, the revelation of the women's passivity in the economic fields, the inefficiency of the social spaces (before and after marriage), in the use of social capital, and the poverty of the economic, cultural and symbolic capital in the narrator's women.

        The study of music sociology is an important issue due to many reasons, and it has deep dimensional aesthetic and epistemology.As­the day passes perspective and the procedure of music consumption changes and also the way to receive and apply it, is different due to technology progress. Music fills human leisure and loneliness, and sometimes carrying a superior mental world. All of these conceptions indicate that music has been largely mixed with human entity. Among sociologists' opinions, there are seven generations of study about sociology that each examines music sociology in a way. Among these opinions, it can be mentioned that Pierre Bourdieu's was the most impressive one that has opened a new aspect in the study of cultural consumption through developing the concepts such as lifestyle, cultural capital, class reproduction and the most important, discrimination. Present paper based on theoretical principles, and different generations of theorists of music sociology such as Pierre Bourdieu, Theodor Adorno and Richard Peterson. First a preface on music sociology, its problematic dimensions, theoretical discussions and approaches of each of the respective theorists have been provided and in this regard the writer’s approach and outlook in terms of this issue and consequently, conclusions and summation have been addressed. Unlike Bourdieu predictions allowing a particular pattern of consumption in this class, it has been shown that medium class consumers have an art taste and consumption away from aesthetic and epistemology principles. For more exploration in the concepts of Bourdieu’s theoretical popularism framework, an anthropological view to music consumption shows that, diversity in the popularism pattern of music consumption is related to rich class consumers. That is, the type and diversity of rich class consumption in music is more diversified such as other aspects. In other words, higher social classes correlate with various tastes and different applications of techniques that release the consumer from passive modes of music application and this configures various levels of economic, social, cultural capital and structural restrictions of issues. Thus, their interests in music aspects and technological media lead to their consumption. Consequently, a combination of these three capitals results to the perception of common consumption of higher class. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is the most prominent figure in the French sociology that put an end to the hegemony of social action and structuralize theories in the field of sociology. He propounded Structural Constructivist Theory of politics through dialectical relationships between "fields" and "habits". Bourdieu's broad socio-anthropological and interrelation approach to power stands as opposed to the traditional academic political science discipline which emphasizes on the actual and objective operation of the political institutions (one of the legacies of the behavior list school) as well as on the more visible aspects of governing operations (elections, laws, policies, parties, etc). By contrast, Bourdieu as a sociologist and anthropologist approached the topic of power by stressing the social and cultural bases of power at the micro-as well as macro- levels. Naturally, this complicated view may not neglect analyzing electoral and democratic politics as doxa (dominated common belief) in political filed. Based on his critical view to current electoral democracies, Bourdieu emphasizes that delegation of power and political representation, despite the presence of the media and the press, inevitably leads to usurpation and manipulation of democracy. What does Bourdieu suggests as an alternative to representative democracies as a dominated doxa in political field? Bourdieu propounds the idea of "Real Democracy" which includes different dialectical categories as an alternative way to democratization of democracy in current societies.    Manuscript profile

        Abstract This research is an attempt to apply Bourdieu’s integrated structuralist theory in order to examine the extent of influence of literary production field in the 4th century taken as object, and also study the impact of Ferdowsi’s disposition regarded as a subject in the composition of the most important Persian national epic.  After examining the aforementioned field and studying the impact ofsocial, economic, cultural, and symbolic capitals on Ferdowsi’s habitus, this result is reached that there exists a dialectic relationship between the literary production field in the 4th century closely connected with the political field under the Samanids rule with the active habitus which did not lead him towards the vulgar teachings, instead had led him to use Persian national narratives in order to undertake the composition of Shahnameh.  Employing descriptive analytic approach in this article it was found out that, Ferdowsi’s strategy was under the influence of collective habitus in his time which in turn emanated from the political structure of Samanids and his individual habitus was affected by the symbolic and cultural capital and also his Dehghan class.  All these factors had persuaded him to incline towards preservation of the Persian language and Persian national identity.  It was further proved that Abu Mansur Abd al-Razzaq and his companions had a great role in providing the milieu in which a project such as the writing of the Shahnameh could be realized.
