        Background: Policy capacity is one of the most basic concepts in the study of public policy that addresses gaps and factors related to why policies are not implemented. In this article, the problems and shortcomings for the non-implementation of these policies in the field of women's political participation at the elite level (1997-2020) explained. Then, based on the model, at three levels of conceptual-analytical, operational and political that each of these three competencies include resources or capabilities at three different levels of individual, organizational and systemic, were examined.Objective: To introduce the policy capacity as a new concept in the literature of political participation in Iran, upon which the boundaries and gaps between laws and practice can be examined.Method:This research has been done using “Q method” for classifying and scoring propositions and "critical discourse analysis". Findings:The results show that "individual" and "organizational" attitudes in the "analytical" dimension are the most important factors influencing women's political participation. Conclusion: discussion of the policy capacity based on its specific discourse space, which in the present study is women's political participation, should highlight other definitions and factors, such as cultural and ideological conditions that have a direct impact on the implementation of policies.

        2 - Critical Discourse Analysis "Man of Steel"(film) Relying on the metaphysical debates on Transmodernism paradigm

        In the twenty-first century, cinema, as the seventh art, continues to play an important role in transmitting the message. The combination of scientific and art paradigms has contributed to their participation in the process of content creation and the transfer of concepts that have a multi-faceted relationship with both fields. In the meantime, cinematic linkage with dominant paradigms at any time as a source of productive content with special capabilities in the production and presentation of concepts has become popular and has attracted many audiences. In this research, the author seeks to represent the metaphysical signs of the new Trans-modernism paradigm in Zack Snyder's "Man of the Paladin". In this regard, the search for metaphysical elements and the discovery of hidden semantic and ideological layers in the film, based on the theory of critical discourse analysis of Freclough, has been carried out with the approach of PADM. The methodology used to collect the metaphysical concepts of the modern trans-modern paradigm is descriptive-analytic. By analyzing the discourse of the film, the author concluded that the metaphysical discourse featured in Steel Man film represents the discourse of the new modern Trance paradigm. Of course, discursive practices such as mythology, savior, future represent a part of the ruling discourse that can not be regarded as ruling discourse. The findings of the research reveal the most important factors affecting the emergence of a new field in the third millennium for human beings with the Trans-modernism Paradigm approach and its impact on Hollywood cinema Manuscript profile

        Critical discourse analysis basically is the way of representation of social and political events in language. It makes visible the common – sense social and cultural assumptions which below the level of conscious awareness, are embedded in all forms of language that people use. In this regard and based on critical discourse analysis, Van Leeuwen (1996) has presented a theoretical framework with socio – semantic features, as representation of social actors, which is for analyzing text. Based on the theory, this study will try to analyze the using of four features of the theory, personalization, impersonalization, association, differentiation, in a selection of national and international newspapers' headlines about Iran's nuclear program during 2001-2012. The study will answer this question that whether national and international newspapers use these features to represent social actors and is there any difference between them in using these features? To do this, 242 headlines of two national newspaper, Keyhan and Iran, and two international newspaper, The Washington post and The Guardian were selected and analyzed by using an analytical- descriptive method. The findings showed both national and international newspapers the features in representation of social actors about Iran's nuclear program but each group uses them differently. Manuscript profile

        Discourse analysis is one of the humanities methods which analyzes the implicit concepts of power and ideology in different contexts. This understanding is conducted through different techniques of discourse. One of the most important approaches of discourse, is Laclau and Mouffe’s which adopts the concepts such as the separation of fixed and floating signifier, articulation, moments and elements, opposition and otherness to explore the implicit purposes in the texts. In this study, by using Laclau and Mouffe’s, we tried to analyze the “roots” novel discourse to indentify the approaches in the postcolonial literature. The views of people like Edward Said, Frantz Fanon and Homi Bhabha explain and interpret the post-colonial discourse analysis that would help us in this article. The main objective of this study is to determine the effective signifiers on the dispute between the two discourses: colonial and slavery. The novel, studies on several elements of American culture colonial and colonial African culture and their different.Slabs floating through the articulation of a discourse that is considered Laclau and Mouffe through a chain of equivalence to the original slab or nodes-are connected.

        This article is conducted by leveraging Fairclough’s framework for Critical Discourse Analysis to analyze the representation of Iran’s political context from 1991 to 2001 in the movie, The Dead Wave (2001) written and directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia. The criteria for choosing this particular movie was its wealth in representing Iran’s political, social and ideological conditions. After reviewing the present wings and political groups at the years leading to the time of production of this text, this research will attempt to determine the movie’s position towards their competing discourses. Disregarding some aspects of the movie in the analysis process (such as images, music and tones of dialogues) due to practical limitations, after extracting discourse types (and their interpretation of situational and intertextual contexts) from the dialogues of the characters of the Dead Wave and their actions in the story and then explanations of these discourse types in respect of power relations in the time of production of the text, It has been claimed that this movie by reminding the history of involvement of the US government in Iran-Iraq war and especially shooting down the Iranian passenger aircraft of flight 655, with criticizing the performance of the then-current administration in foreign affairs and the alteration of position toward that country and the subculture and actions of the Iranian young generation, defends the dominant idealism from 1981 to 1991 in Iran and the traditional values of this country.

        6 - Analyzing the Identity and Other Circuits in the Moderationist Discourse (Case Study: the Campaign Films of the 11th and 12th Presidential Elections)

        This study is about to comparatively investigate how identity is represented in the campaign films of the 11th and 12th presidential elections in June 2013 and May 2017. This study is based on a question that “in the process of the 11th and 12th presidential elections, how identity is articulated in the campaign films of the hegemon candidate and it has been produced and reproduced with what kind of signifiers, elements and processes?” In order to answer this question this claim is proposed that in the process of the two periods of the presidential elections, the elected discourse has articulated his campaigns on the base of presenting a special formulation of its ideology in the context of which self and other are presented in a special way in the shade of the nodal signifier and reflect their borderlines with other discourses positively or negatively. The theoretical base and the methodological framework of this research are planned on defining three levels. The micro-level is based on linguistic mechanisms like explicit and implicit implication and intertextuality. In the middle level, concepts are gained through linguistic investigations and in order to reach the macro concepts, the approaches of Laclau and Mouffe and Norman Fairclough have been used. According to the findings, the Moderationist discourse in both of its presidential campaigns, being based on negative and other-making approach drew its identity borders and through backgrounding, positively represents itself.

        This paper investigates the Covid-19 discourse which has taken shape in Haasan Rouhani’s speeches. Following Laclau and Mouffe theory of discourse analysis, we investigated all of Rouhani’s speeches (i.e. 30 speeches) from February 2, 2020 to April 27, 2020. Findings showed that Covid-19 discourse has mainly revolved around three nodal points: the country, enemy, and the state of exception. Our results also explained how Rouhani used Covid-19 as an empty signifier to reinforce the hegemonic discourse in Iran while trying to redefine his relations with the state-leaning organizations. While a growing body of research has already emerged from medical disciplines, this study contributes to our understanding of the novel coronavirus from a discursive perspective.

The views of people like Edward Said, Frantz Fanon and Homi Bhabha explain and interpret the post-colonial discourse analysis that would help us in this article. The main goal of this research is to identify the effective signifiers of the conflict between colonialist discourse and slavery, which forms the central ideology of the novel of the roots. Racism and slavery were among the important concepts in the discourse of colonialism, which contributed to the hegemonic process of discourse. On the other hand, concepts such as submission, retardation, violence and lack of accountability are also found in the discursive circle of African slavery. The dominance of colonial discourse in the roots of the novel is formed by the rejection of indigenous African concepts and culture and consolidating their western and American meanings in American dominant discourse.

        City as a live and dynamic creature can have important function at meeting mental and psychological needs of people but due to improper growth of population with urban development of cities and many problems, urban managers have paid attention to the physical aspects of cities and to some extent have neglected psychological and mental effects of cities’ skeleton on citizens. This paper is based on a qualitative research considering the relationship between visual factors of urban spaces and behavioral patterns of consumers from these spaces aimed at identifying favorable and unfavorable visual factors of urban spaces and also regarding visual perception and behavioral pattern of citizens at urban spaces. In this relation it was tried to answer the question that whether the existence of visual factors of urban space affects citizens’ behavior and encourages especial behavior or prevent appearance of some behaviors? For achieving this goal after reviewing basic concepts and hypothesis related to the project and writing analytic model of the research and also collecting data through two methods of direct observation (behavioral mapping) and indirect observation (questionnaire); data extracted by considering a case sample in Rasht city and its skeletal analysis through pathology of wall, floor, furniture and green space. For analyzing data, the correlation statistic method has been used and the relationship between variables and hypothesis of the research has been tested by chi-square test and by using SPSS software. Finally regarding the importance of the research, some suggestion for strengthening social interaction at studying site and procedures have been presented for favorability of visual factors to prepare conditions for changing some behavioral patterns of citizens and on the one side it has been tried to consider visual aspects of mentioned urban space a lot so that by outstanding some visual factors of these spaces, create the condition for appearance of new behavioral space at studying space. The significant point is that in studying area due to the significance of placement function, behavioral patterns are more resulted from this function that in suggestions the urban space have ben emphasized. Finding shows that urban space that is far from its main function is a functional problem and by paying attention to the point that we know city as a live creature the existence of this problem means that there is a kind of skeletal disorder in city and in this state with the existence of skeletal disorder we cannot merely rely on the manifestation of beauty. Therefore regarding the point that firstly visual factors of urban space affects behavioral pattern of citizens and secondly the type of function of; urban space can affect the degree of citizens’ attention to surrounding visual factors and the existence of social life at urban cities is emphasized. The important point that is observed at the research was that citizens use a space properly while there is factors for their attraction to the considered space that regarding visual factors of the space and the degree of citizens’ satisfaction of these characteristics is important.

        The concept of the subject is rooted in the thoughts of the newborn period, which in the twentieth century found a political nature; the subject can be examined from at least three perspectives; in modern terms, which begins with Descartes, the subject of the subject is a discovery that is independent of metaphysical forces, the ability to think and act Has. From the perspective of post-structuralism and postmodernism, which manifests itself in particular in Foucault's thought, the subject is the invention of the modern age, and it is also declining with the end of modernism. In this sense, the subject is the subjugation of the elements of power, and it all forms in the context of its historical forces and discourses. In the third perspective, the subject is an object that forms in the context of historical forces and discourses, but it also has the power to resist and change it, and it affects it. This paper, by documentary method, studies the concept of a subject in different approaches to discourse analysis. The results of the research show that the subject and its identity have gone through many ups and downs, sometimes in the awe of creative and effective activism and sometimes in the form of passive and enclosed inventory. From the point of view of discourse analysis approaches, especially the approach of Laclau's discourse and subject matter, subjects in particular situations are capable of collapse of discourse and hegemonic creation of another discourse.Keywords: Subject, Discourse, Discourse Analysis.

        Because of their importance in the economic and social development of societies, science and technology policies have become one of the most important arenas of discourse conflict. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the discourse of the sixth program based on Laclau and Mouffe's approach. The studied society was all the legal articles and notes related to science and technology in the law of the sixth development plan, which were studied in full. The findings show that the central signifier of this document is "purposeful scientific innovation". It has built its symbols based on three signs: "Efficiency and modernity, privatization/popularization and knowledge-based economy". The floating sign has shown itself in the form of "collaboration and scientific participation" and "competitive performance". The null signs are "Employment", "Scientific modernization and improvement" and "Scientific productivity" which are associated with interruptions and moments of "People building", "Educational modernization and improvement" and "Islamic culture and values". The discourse area of this program is "state-centered, external dependence, reduction of deprivation and scientific neutrality" which "culture-centered/landscape-centered" discourse with its hegemonic position has marginalized conflicts and consolidated the space for its own discourse maneuver. The results of this study show that this program is moving towards quantitative goals with an emphasis on positivist and supply-oriented processes, which has made it possible to popularize science and use social capital with a serious vacuum.

        Abstract: The purpose of this article was to analyze the discourse of social development during the periods of the Islamic parliament. For this purpose, the text of the negotiations related to social development in the first to ninth periods of the Islamic parliament with emphasis on the negotiations related to the first to fifth development programs and using the"theoretical" sampling method as the target community, has been the basis of analysis. The findings of the research indicate that in the first and second periods of the parliament, due to the war conditions in the country, the focus was on the distribution and meeting the essential needs of the members of the society, and everything that was connected with development in the sense of economic-social growth, they were considered abnormal and were removed from the verbal and practical literature of development. In the third parliament, due to the dominance of the "economic adjustment"discourse, we witnessed a"one-dimensional approach to development" with the priority of economic development and marginalization of other aspects of development, including social development. In the fourth parliament, the discourse of "sustainable growth and development" became the ruler in the 5th and 6th parliaments, the discourse of "sustainable development" and in the 6th and 7th parliaments, the discourse of "local social development" And finally, in the 8th and 9th parliaments, the discourse of "progress and justice" has dominated the discourse.This approach has indicated a kind of break and non-continuity of the comprehensive discourse of social development in different periods of the Islamic parliament.

        The world is the product of discourses and discourses have power. This enables them to highlight or marginalize political or social issues. It also allows them to create a hegemony in the political-social conflicts, or even to deconstruct them, and, in short, they create identity in the same way as myths. This paper examines the object of America in foreign policy discourse in the development period by considering the Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani’s discourse toward facing the U.S. at the time. The research method used in this article is discourse analysis. The results indicate that the signifiers of good will and good faith as well as logical behavior, are the main signifiers in Hashemi Rafsanjani’s discourse in facing the U.S. There are signifiers and other elements articulated such as a lack of trust and intimacy around the signifiers. However, by reviewing the literature related to the speeches and statements of the then Iranian president, he has shown that while he was trying to have an interactive and good-faith-oriented approach to the West / U.S., he could not succeed in this regard because some of America's actions created main obstacles like this.

A model of discourse analysis is developed to redefine the concept of lifelikness(zendevari) in architecture. After examining the critical discourse and Fairclough theory in this case and the compatibility of the cases of this discourse with the issues of living layers in which there is a systematic view of architecture, we came to the conclusion that the traditional and modern model in Isfahan is not relevant. That it has been achieved in the right place and balance and naturalization is practically none of the traditional and modern models is the criterion for determining the architectural design and the most important thing is the discussion of context and context and finally naturalization and balance. And this shows the correctness of equilibrium and naturalization of these theories. So we came to the conclusion that the two can be compatible and be the criteria for determining the designer of a commercial complex. Manuscript profile

        This study investigates and analyzes the discourse of the agricultural philosophy within the framework of technological philosophy theories. Lack of sufficient knowledge on the philosophical nature of agricultural technologies that have been led to relying on creation of aimless, pointless, non-teleological, non-anthropocentric technique and technology inconsistent with the genuine essence of universe, makes it necessary to do this research. Research methodology of this paper has been qualitative discourse analysis based on Laclau- Memphis approach that is a descriptive-analytic and critical approach at the same time. Research tools were interviews, written surveys and questionnaires. The samples selected for interviews were philosophers (Iranian and non-Iranian) and experts in research areas related to technology. In this study, after the interview and implementation of texts, the procedures for discourse analysis of agricultural philosophy were conducted relying on main discourse concepts and signifiers, and the obtained results were presented and analyzed in the form of charts of discourse semantic system.

        This article is an analysis based on Norman Fairclough's theory in the Ataba Al-Kataba with a pragmatic approach that examines and analyzes linguistic forms, their purposes and functions based on Fairclough's views. The theoretical basis of the research is in the framework of a three-level (layered) model of description, interpretation and explanation. The dimensions of discourse are very prominent in "Schools and Letters of Ataba al-Katabah" due to the close connection between language and social structures and the influence of the text on social relations. In this text, in addition to the effect of power relations, specific language choices that are specific to the style of this period are distinguished in the process of meaning production. The purpose of this study is to show the type and style of twentieth century discourse and to show the power of the author (Montajeb Jovini) in the form of his discourse. The different view on introduction and analysis of Ataba Al-Kataba is another goal of this study. This research has been conducted by descriptive-analytical method and it is examined by qualitative content analysis method and citing the text of the letters and mentioning the evidence of the example.

        One of the subjects which effects and plays a vital role in Hafiz's interpretation and is not paid attention too much is the conflicts in his words and poetries. These conflicts are researchable from two aspects: initially from couplets and single concepts and secondly from intertextuality point of view. The first group conflicts are the ones which are simple and is seen in many poets' works but the intertextual conflicts are of specific characteristics of Hafiz poetries. There are many intertextual conflicts in Hafiz poetry; some of them are critical – social, verbal and religious – ethical. The present article studies the origins of the mentioned conflicts as well as birth of a special discourse called love discourse which studies ideological conflict with rival. The method is discourse analysis. Manuscript profile

        Liberalism, often referred to as the ideology of modern times, is one of the concepts that has influenced the social and political developments in Iran since the constitutional era, and we are witnessing its widespread emergence in literature. Discourse analysis is also a type of interdisciplinary study that analyzes words and leads to in-depth reading of literary works. Based on the theory of analysis of the discourse of Laclau and Mouffe, this research tries to show the details of liberal concepts in order to identify them in the contemporary period based on the poem "Ali told his mother one day" by Forough Farrokhzad. According to this theory, the main goal of the liberal discourse is to compete with the prevailing discourse to establish freedom and independence as the central signifier of this discourse, and also seeks to identify itself by articulating the floating implications of tradition-breaking and the struggle for freedom. This discourse finds its political subject by mythologizing the militant human being, who is the same fish and Ali who is the child within Forough Farrokhzad, and challenges the hegemony of the ruling discourse in order to establish its order in the ruling society. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and the research data has been studied using content analysis method and library and document research method. Manuscript profile

        Each language is formed in a specific cultural context. This enables the literary works to point out the cultural discourse, and especially the ideology of a society. Thereby the effect of cultural transformations of various generations and even different literary genres can be studied. The study lies in the field of stylistics and it is from the category of discourse analysis. The story of the Amir Arsalan is one of the most popular folk-romantic novels of Persian language. Like any other literary text, the story is not devoid of ideological views, and it well describes the language discourse, power and ideology of a certain era. Through exploration of the ideological layers and their social and historical backgrounds, this study suggests how this seemingly romantic story reflects cultural and ideological clues. The result of the research shows that the story of Amir Arsalan, despite the structure of romance, has been drafted with a religious-national ideological approach to explain the supremacy of Islam (Shi'i) to disbelief .The story has changed from a historical genre to romance-fiction genre over the course of time. It is this structure and reliance on the collective memory of the people, that enables the story to have a high impact on the society Manuscript profile

        After the emergence of changes due to the industrial revolution and the growth of living and economic levels at the same time the relative independence of family members compared to the single core family system which generally had a head named father and all family members depended on him. The difference of opinion became what we know today as the generation gap. In the twentieth century, Michel Foucault presented a broad theory called "discourse analysis" in which he emphasized that words have different meanings in different situations. In this article, we try to examine the image of family relations in the contemporary Algerian family by examining the novel "AlsaghFawghAlsagh" by Amin Al-Zawi and examine the generation gap between family members. The research method in this article is based on a critical method and We intend to explore how and to what extent society changes affect family events and the prevailing discourse in the family within the contemporary novel. We derive in our study from the discourse analysis of Michel Foucault. Discourse for him is used to know the factors outside the text framework and their impact on the content. Perhaps one of the most important points that can be mentioned as a result of this article is the independence of family members and consequently the expression of personal positions and as a result creating differences between different generations and views, which can be said to be a constant conflict between tradition and Modernity also fuels these differences.

        Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) plays an important part in finding insights into a discourse. CDA runs a contentious examination of texts and plays a significant part in expression of textual implications and connotations. It helps going over the formalistic gloss of the text which poses barriers to capturing its true sense. It helps discover underlying discourse and latent layers of meanings. CDA differs from discourse analysis in terms of its methodology of examination. It is not pure examination of text or discourse within the textual framework. Boshra albostani, a renowned contemporary Iraqi poetess with a prominent poetic status. The distinctive linguistic structures of her poems have captured the attention of researchers. Employing Laclau and Mouffe approach, this research attempts to examine Al Bostani’s Ode of “Andalusian wounds of Iraq”. As one of her notable works, this ode signals a civilizational attitude as it was composed during years of Iraq’s occupation. The theme of resistance is the centralsignifier of this work while betrayal and handing the keys to the country to outsiders form other signifiers around which other secondary signifiers are articulated. Chain of Equivalence takes shape to breaks the discourse of others. In an ideological foray, it attempts to unveil the actual, consistence identity of the other party. Here, the poet relies on an inspiring, dynamic poetic language to enchantingly portray the exposition of the actual identity of the other party. Manuscript profile

Abul Ala Al-ma'arri wrote it about 1020- 1021 addressing Aboushoja'a Fatak, known as Azizoddoleh, ruler of Halab from Fatimi's caliphate in which through conversation made between a horse called Sahel and a mule called Shahej he discusses literary, historical, political and social matters and provides much information about lexical, syntactical, prosodic puzzles and issues related to political relations between ruler of Halab and the Fatimi's family in the one hand and he and Roman  emperor on the other hand and pictures people's condition following a crisis caused by political deals between Azizoddoleh (ruler of Halab) and Basil (Roman  emperor).The  Risalah investigated in this article to express role of power and technology in forming Abul Ala Al-ma'arri's discourse and language in the  light of critical discourse analysis . This research shows that Abul Ala's discourse can be divided into 4 groups: literary discourse including his vast information about poetry, syntax and prosody; political discourse that pictures political relation between ruler of Halab and emperor of Rome; social discourse in which people's horror due to Rome's attack has been provided and finally advertising discourse between Romans and Muslims and also this point that political and cultural power has played a  key role in forming Abul Ala's discourse and language.       Manuscript profile

        One of the eldest and at the same time, the most effective literary device, is expressing a subject through allegorical exemplum. In this method by using a simile structure, the poet tries to present an inner meaning in his mind, while it is actually the tenor, throughout a story, which is actually the vehicle of the simile structure. In the present survey which is an essential one, the data is obtained through library studies and then they are analyzed throughout a descriptive method, based on discourse analysis, specially, the critical discourse analysis theory by Norman Fairclough, the reasons and the manner of Mehdi Akhavan Sales, a contemporary Persian poet, allegorical exemplum usage in his poetry is discussed. Akhavan, whose contents of his poems are mostly based on the social affairs of his time, uses allegorical exemplum for different reasons, such as: increasing the effects on his readers, as well as saving himself from the political- social dangerous impacts of such poems. In so many of his poems which consist of allegorical exemplum, the vehicles of vast detailed simile structures are affairs such as: poverty, loneliness, honour, oppression, and the valuable culture of Iran, while the tenors are allegorical exemplum, with different subjects, settings, and characters. Finding the tenor out of the vehicle through a systematic targeted method based on the Fairclough’s theory which has three phases, is completely possible and the processes can be offered to interpret other allegorical exemplum in other poet’s works, Manuscript profile

        Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is a hypertext that depicts the identity of Iranian-Islamic man from pre-Islamic to the fifth century in an allegorical way. In processing the characters of Shahnameh stories, Ferdowsi consciously introduces two types of characters, good and evil, based on the discourses of the period. Each of the characters can be allegorically represented as a Scheme of negative and positive figures that have emerged due to class worldviews and power relations. Rostam and Afrasiab, as representatives of two groups of characters, due to the change in the literary type of the text and Ferdowsi's discourse with these characters, show an allegory of good and bad human components. Using allegory, Ferdowsi gives an allegorical form to some of the characters of Shahnameh and considers each of them as an allegory of one or more concepts, such as Rostam, Zahak, etc., each of which is an allegory of different concepts such  as  good and evil. Love, wisdom, religion, wisdom, etc. are other concepts that Ferdowsi, with an allegorical look, depicts his content and thoughts in order to manifest his anthropological thought Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper is to examine the power, ideology and hegemony in Hafez's poem in three levels of description, interpretation and explanation using the theory of critical discourse analysis. This article argues that Hafez's poetry is a mystical discourse that attempts to neutralize dominant discourses. Hafez's mysticism, through the use of language, rhetorical and semantic tricks, challenges the hegemonic institutions and institutionalize another discourse within the context of culture; in fact, Hafez's poem, by showing this controversy, has created a new cultural ability. At the end this article concludes that Hafez, through its special mystical framework, challenges the hegemonic institutions of Sufism and Shariah, and move contrary to hegemony. Therefore, it can be said that the Hafez mystical system has been formed on the basis of a political, social and moral reaction. This article has been done by analytical and descriptive method.

        Among the works of mystical literature, Tazkerat al-Owliya, as one of the valuable works of Attar Neyshabouri to deal with the situations, thoughts and speeches of mystics and Sufi elders allocates a wide range of social relations. Attar's emphasis on this issue causes social agents to display their work in different ways. These representations are purposeful and in order to instill Attar's mystical ideology on the audience. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the discourse of Fazil bin Ayyaz based on Van Leeuwen's model and to examine the representation of social agents in it. Since Attar in this story seeks to transcend knowledge and show the spiritual status of Fazil by fading the discourse system of the thief and the ruler and also highlighting the discourse system of the mystic; Therefore, the analysis of Fazil's discourse as a discourse arising from the social strata of mystics at that time reveals new results. Therefore, in the present study, we decided to express the relationship between activations and passivations of social agents, to find out how Attar, in a stylistic creativity, familiarize the audience with the names of individuals, groups, places and times that social agents have an active role in it and what measures have been taken to determine the role and activation of social agents regarding the action of Fazil ibn Ayyaz and to make passive about the action of his followers, especially Harun al-Rasheed.

        Decoding of hidden meanings in pristine texts is a challenge for researchers to develop new and acceptable methods for dissecting and extrapolating the concealed messages in these written heritage texts. One of the most effective methods to accomplish this arduous task is analyzing discourse via studying conceptual metaphors that reveal the Author's thought process. The aim of the present research is to clarify Abdul Qadir Gilāni's mistic discourse that was dominant in Islamic world for centuries, and its analysis through Fairclaugh's discourse analysis approach in three steps: Description, interpretation and explanation. In this project, "Love" Metaphor has been studied by the researcher which is the foreground and frequent in his lyrics, through Lakoff and Johnson's theory that interprets conceptual metaphors as a character of human thought. Through utilizing SPSS software, metaphor identification procedure of Pragglejaz group (2007) has been used to identifying and categorizing different kind of metaphors. The results demonstrate that in Gilāni's discourse, the relationship between a human being and God, should not be characterized as the relationship between and idolater and an idol but rather as a genuine relationship between the lover and the loved. His use of metaphors is not intended to beautify and emblazon his words but rather to enhance the objectivity and accuracy of his message. The discourse of Gilāni is mystic, simple and antediluvian and it is instituted on facility and laxity and one of the inclinations is the lack of awkward ritual for entering the Tarighat.

The studied universe was Zan-e-Ziadi stories collection with the same title by Jalal Al-Ahmad. The research sample included power signs and socio-historical issues of Zan-e-Ziadi story. The design of the research was qualitative and studied by descriptive-analytic method on three levels namely, description, explanation, and analysis. The results of the study in this work of Al-Ahmad indicated that the powerful presence of authoritative and patriarchal discourse in the story and simultaneously in the society of the writer own time and even in the thoughts of the writer himself. As a result, the presence of men gender superiority culture and the persistence of domination and submissiveness had led to women marginalization and passiveness. The important point revealed by the story critical discourse analysis was that the tyrannical mentality was more responsible for the institutionalization of that culture more than tyrannical power. Hence in such a system the story main character (protagonist) was the victim of her own undeveloped thought, passiveness, accepting domination discourse, and institutionalizing it in her more than being defeated by the power and decision of men of her family.

        Words and their relations have always been a considerable point among the critics especially those who are specialized in the cognitive poetics. This branch of literary studies is, more than anything, concerned with the similarities and relativities between things and to re-acknowledge their super-structure patterns. Naturally, this is attainable only by analyzing the literary texts. Analysis of the texts itself is also inter-connected with speech act of the author or the poet, and the inductive act among readers. Perceptions of these concepts can be found in two ways of speech and epilogue that each causes other’s line of actions. Hence, it can be asserted that every literary text is an objective re-exposing of discourse analyses which are available in every society. The researchers of the present study, assuming that the above assumptions are exemplified in Parvin Etesami’s poems, seek to examine the cognitive poetics and discourse analysis in some of her poetic vocations. The researchers of this article try to show the instances of cognitive poetics and discourse analysis in Parvin Etesami’s poems. The findings of the study show how the textual structure of language can show the hidden power relation and its misuse, hegemony, and social inequality. Manuscript profile

        Abstract : The main topic of this research is a combination between stylistic of letters of Jami and Ghazzali with the approach of critical discourse analysis. The letters of mystics and great scientists are major historical sources which, in addition to enclosing a lot of political, social and cultural information of the past, they show the relationships between the writers and authorities and different social classes. In this research we are trying to investigate the stylistic features of Jami and Ghazzali in three levels of description, annotation and explanation based on 3_dimentional model of Norman Fairclough in order to answer this questions that each one used which discourse and language strategy to communicate with others in political subjects? Which common and different points are exist in stylistic and language features of their letters? What role does discourse play in letters? The metod of this study is analytical-descriptive and our results showed that the ruling discourse on the letters of Jami is gnostic which, centered on divine love and ruling discourse on the letters of Ghazzali are ascetic which, centered on futurism. Each of them manipulate a discriminate discourse in letters to save authority against government ; but in fact the relationship of Jami's authority is via alignment with power of governors, on the other hand Ghazzalis's authority is via standing against the government apparatus and by this method could control the authority and invited them to adminstrative of justice and supporting people.

Among the other important commentaries of this period are the Tafsir "Kashf-al-Asrar and odat-al-Abrar" by "Abul Fazl Meybodi " in which the author has interpreted the Qur'an with a mystical perspective. The discourse analysis of these two books can very well show the authors' beliefs and ideologies. One of the important theories in the field of discourse analysis is the theory of "Norman Fairclough" in which The relationship between the internal and external criteria of the text is examined. Fairclough examines the text in three axes of description, interpretation and explanation. One of the topics that is discussed in the text description section is which of the interactive conventions the author uses. and how is the turn-taking system for speaking in the text managed? Examining this issue depends on the power relations between the two sides of the conversation. , sometimes the commentators add additional explanations in their translation. They give the possibility to the researcher to determine their intellectual structure in this field. According to his historical and interpretive information, Nasafi has acted in a strong way in this field. this article, the authors intend to analyze the discourse in the translation of these two books in the context of interactive data using a descriptive-analytical and library method.

        Seyyed Ahmad Mostafavi Khomeini (1946-1995) is the son of Imam Khomeini, as one of the important political activists before and after the Islamic Revolution. Although he is well known as one of the first-hand sources of contemporary political historiography due his presence and activity during the struggle and exile and Imam's leadership, in research,, his opinions and political life are rarely mentioned. Administration Imam's Beit (house) during the exile, struggles, and establishment of the Islamic revolution, developments related to the imposed war, issues related to the dismissal of the deputy leadership and the writing of the Ranjnameh are among the turning points of his life. The issue of this research is why Ahmad Khomeini wrote the Ranjnameh. In the present study, an attempt is made to explain the text of Ranjnameh as one of the most important political letters in the history of contemporary Iran, using the approach of analyzing the critical discourse of Norman Fairclough and the role of Ahmad in the developments of the first decade of the Islamic Revolution. Using this approach, the base is processed and checked in the index. The findings of the research show Ahmad Khomeini, considering the political and social situation of Iran in the 1980s and variables such as Imam Khomeini's illness and the changes in power relations in the 1960s, tried to create a new political and religious meaning in the field by compiling the manifesto. In line with political identification, the reproduction of the ideological beliefs of the Islamic Revolution, the consolidation and organization of the public consent for the selection of the new successor of the leadership and the persuasion of the public opinion.

        Legal linguistics is a new and interdisciplinary branch of applied linguistics and law, which uses linguistic tools and linguistic evidence to analyze spoken and written texts by experts, and in today's era, semantics and discourse analysis are more effective in improving judicial testimony. For this reason, the author has discussed and examined it using Grice's principles in a library method and with a descriptive-analytical approach, and the results of the article indicate that: the analysis of witness testimony with the help of various tools and principles, including "Grice's principles of cooperation" It is possible because the witness in the interrogation seeks to advance the testimony in favor of himself and the petitioner, and by violating the principle of Grice, he suffers contradictions in his testimony, but judicial courts, using linguistic principles, especially the principle of Grice, allow They don't allow the witness to continuously change or advance the subject according to his wish, or to advance the cases according to his wish and in his own interest. Examining the cases related to judicial testimony shows that when lying, witnesses make the most use of appearance and presumption, and the least they use is reference, inference, and subjective meanings.

        The main issue in discourse analysis is the transition from explaining linguistic data to effective processes in discourse formation. The effort is on to investigate the characteristics and protest aspects of two contemporary poets, Shamlou and Kasraei, based on the descriptive-analytical approach and based on the model of Laclau and Mouffe's discourse analysis. As a poet, Shamlou does not accept the established social order, His political and social goals gradually lead to a simple philosophical and revolutionary worldview. However, Kasraei is not as disappointed with social change as poets like the Third Brotherhood, nor is he as pleased with philosophical and social propositions as Shamlou, but he is a committed poet in every sense of the word.Based on the elements involved in Laclau and Moffe's discourse theory, it can be said that Shamlou was inherently a poet incompatible with the spirit of his time. Shamlou's poetry considered all the vital elements of society to be a distorted construction of the ideological realms of political sovereignty, Therefore, protest in such a society is considered a sacred movement. On the other hand, Kasraei's allegorical and symbolic initial approach, and finally his revolutionary and guerrilla poetry, made him a supporter and encourager of a socialist and popular revolution. Based on this, the present study tries to study of Laclau and Mouffe's analysis discourse, namely articulation, identity, conflict and alienation, hegemony and mythology in the poems of these two important poets of contemporary Iranian history.

         Ain al-Qudat Hamedani with the full name of Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Ali Mianji Hamedani (525-492 AH) is one of the most famous mystics who has left various works in the fields of mysticism, philosophy and religion in Persian and Arabic. Preparations is one of his most important Persian works, which, in addition to its importance in mysticism, is noteworthy in terms of poetic prose. Hamedani has written this work with the aim of preventing the followers and seekers from going astray from the right path of mysticism and Sufism. Disciples and seekers are not written, but are a continuation of a discourse that was formed a century ago with the initiative of mystics such as Bayazid Bastami and Hossein Mansour Hallaj in opposition to the ruling discourse; A point that seems to have not been viewed from this perspective so far. Therefore, in this research, the author has tried to reveal the intellectual system of the same Ain al-Qudat in opposition to the prevailing politics in a descriptive-analytical manner, relying on the theoretical framework of critical discourse analysis and Norman Colafe's theory, and with library tools. The result of the research indicates that the preparations are a purely religious and ideological work to legitimize mystical ideas, which seeks to strengthen the counter-discourse of militant mysticism against the ideas of the ruling power with quasi-ideological and ideological centrality.

        The Political is formed within a discourse, based on a dual antithesis and sympathy or an opposing and hostile relationship with the "discourse" discourses. Concepts with the definition of politics provide, on the one hand, the identity frontiers between forces \ "Insider \" and \ "another \", and on the other hand, give meaning to political conflicts in a society. The collapse of the constitutional discourse and, eventually, its dismantling, was the outcome of the conflict with the discourses that were at the head of the catholic discourse. The conflicts that brought the country back to the path and led to the return of tyranny in the form of Pahlavi discourse. With the preliminaries of this article, the present article examines the concept of political affairs in Iran during the Constitutional Revolution. In this research, the researcher is to show that by using the method of analyzing the critical discourse of Theon Van Dyke and extracting the concepts and categories related to this method, what does the concept of the political concept in this period have had on the collapse of constitutional discourse and the formation and hegemony of Pahlavi discourse? To answer the above question, we first examined the formulation of the political and then its impact on the collapse of constitutional discourse and the supremacy of Pahlavi discourse.

The main goal of discourse analysis is to find the new technique in the study of texts, media, culture, science, politics, and society.  The approach of critical discourse analysis is developmental of discourse analysis in linguistic studies which from individual and methodological points of view has upgraded the discourse analysis from description of texts to explanation level. In critical discourse analysis, the critique of ideology and power is considered more than the other types of discourse analysis.

For this purpose, other than using various sociologicaltheories related to this field such as post-structuralism and modernhermeneutics, the methodology of Lacla and Mouffe‟s discourse analysisis also used. The results of this research show that, the works of Sepehrilack semantic determination, and the relationship between signifier andsignified is not one-to-one. This explains the possibility of poststructuralismof his works. This research also shows the literature of Iranalongside world literature has a high capacity to address human andsocial issues and interprets them with different approaches, whichSepehri‟s narrative is just one of them.

        Formation of the Republic of Kurdistan in Mahabad in 1946, after the Russians refused to leave Iran during World War II, was an important event at that time that had a significant impact on both the country's developments and on the future. The Kurdish newspaper, was the Official language of the Republic of Kurdistan and the KDPI, that led by Ghazi Mohammad, and are therefore one of the valuable sources for reviewing, analyzing, and criticizing the events of this period.Based on the qualitative discourse analysis model of Norman Fairclough, this article analyzes the discourse of Anti- government in the experience of the Republic of Kurdistan by examining articles published in the Kurdistan newspaper.The main question is whether is there a political discourse of anti-government in the Republic of Kurdistan? According to the results, the experience of the Kurdistan Republic is a part of the results of the despotism in Iran during the Qajars and Pahlavi regimes. Hence, the main discourse of the republic is freedom and democracy, and, then there is Kurdish nationalism in the pursuit of autonomy within the political framework of the Iranian government.The approach of the Republic of Kurdistan has not been an anti- government. Rather, it was a confrontation with despotism, a popular demand that coincided with the social movement of the Iranian people against the political despotism of Iran. Manuscript profile

        Discourse analysis as one of the methods of study of phenomenon in social science deals with systematic interaction of thoughts and ideas with social affairs. Each discourse system has three features viz. domination, opposition and agency and it tries to dominate all organs of the society so that it should justify its existence. When the discourse system loses its justifying power its forces try spontaneously to redefine its discourse to adapt itself with new situation. The present article in the light of discourse analysis intends to examine the differences and similarities between the Apartheid discourse in former South Africa and Israel. As such the question raised by the article is what are the differences and similarities between the Apartheid discourse and Israel? The underlying hypothesis is that in formation of Apartheid discourse in both regions two elements of foreign factor, ideology and religion have played essential role. From the viewpoint of security and identity both regimes witnessed the dominance of geopolitics of war. Both the regimes differ from each other from the viewpoint of role of geopolitics in their sustenance and the nature of their formation. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: The political orientation of states determines the quality of their relationship. Foreign policy is basically an outcome of the identity theories and their actors cannot act efficiently and in a sustained manner unless they achieve a unified theory and ideology. Imam Khomeini considered “Islam” as a different entity so that “others” can be identified in his political identity and perception. Language and ideology emphasizes on justification, production and reproduction of hegemony and unequal power relationship and consider the aim of criticism paying attention to most profound aspect of power in society through exposing the hypocrisy of language. Critical discourse analysis from philosophical point of view is based on social constructivism which by emphasis on human factor reduces the reality to human structure. The aim of critical analysis is to show ideological belief and values which has reflected itself as common sense. Everyone knows that the United States has the role of “hostile” and “other” in Imam Khomeini’s discourse and this role remains until America does not change her behavioral pattern. In response to this question “What are the conditions for normalization of relations between the two countries in Imam Khomeini’s discourse?” factors like “mutual respect” and “change of confrontationist and hostile policy” are recognized. The article by a descriptive method based on library material examines Islamic ideas of Imam Khomeini, his critical discourse analysis in foreign policy and then tests the article’s hypothesis, to prove the general principles.   Manuscript profile

        The present study seeks to confirm the assumption that Sa’di is trying to implement the ideology of warning instruction. In the meantime, he sees audience so passive that ethics could be taught by warnings about the negative consequences of behaviors. To justify this, he uses some artistry and to offer a blend of his poem sand Quranic verses and Hadiths to increase the impact of his words. Considering the cultural space of the Iran, as well as historical and social issues of that day, he offers his trainings and advices by means of warning to the audiences; and against the passive mood of the people of his time, he preaches from an authority position with the support of religion and Cultural popularity. To prove this, by an approach of critical discourse analysis of Fairclough, we review the odes of Sa’di in Bustan. Discourse analysis is done in three levels of description, interpretation and explanation and a scrutiny of verbal choices of Sa’di and an explanation of the social conditions of that period is given Manuscript profile

        Holding a novel and different approach, this study aims to investigate the nature of both social identity construction and social system development as two subjective and challenging issues in a dialectic process and based on an integrative sociological and socio-psychological approach in the light of three theoretical perspectives at macro, micro and medium scales (vis-a- vis mainly the suggested subjective orientations).. The main question addressed is whether individuals’ sense of social identity construction subject to Facilitating Factors of youths' Social Identity Construction in Social System. To this end, facilitating factors of social system-based construction among youths was addressed with a sample of 445 probability stratified sampling selected students from Tehran University. Attending this field study, they attempted a researcher-made tablet-rendered valid and reliable questionnaire. Content and construct validity measures of the instrument were measured through expert judgment and factor analysis, respectively and its reliability was estimated through Cronbach alpha correlational analysis. One sample parametric t-test and Binomial test-based analyses of the data supported the main hypothesis predicting that social system through precipitating factors has no effective role (T=21/45) on identity construction of youth. This study mainly suggests a scientific, different and comprehensive applied model for social identity construction on the basis of facilitating factors of social system. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to analyze the discourse of Iran's government management in the field of tourism development. The scope of this research was all the texts expressed by government managers in the tourism sector in three historical periods of governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the reform discourse, the justice-oriented discourse, and the moderation discourse in 8-year periods. The scope of this research included a collection of texts that were published in newspapers, magazines, and the website of the presidency, etc. The statistical sample in this research was a total of 83 texts that were interpreted and analyzed. Library method was used to collect data in this research. The current research method was discourse analysis. The findings showed that the managers of two periods have thought about achieving good governance indicators and have stated in many texts that it is necessary to move in that direction. But in both eras, contrary to what has been said, the reality is something else, and the current situation is far from the promised situation, which is good governance. Using the method of discourse analysis and examining linguistic rules, it is possible to find out in the discourse coordinates of government administrators that speaking beautifully in the eyes of the public can make weak performance appear strong by deceiving public opinion.

Based on Norman Fairclough's theory, in the present article, the story of "How Hamza, may God be well-pleased with him, came to battle without a coat of mail" form book 3 of Masnavi Manavi is described in three stages of description, interpretation and explanation. The purpose of the paper is to clarify the formal and semantic structure of the narrator's speech and the generator of discourse by using descriptive-analytical method. It is through this way that the dominance of the narrator over the audience as well as his discursive interaction in the form of preaching are known. The results show that Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, relying on Qur'an and the religious and moral teachings and using firm and emphasizing sentences, forms a special discourse that its deep-structure is "voluntary death and the worthlessness of worldly life".

        The study and analysis of the protest discourse of contemporary poetry, especially relying on the poetry of poets such as Akhavan Sales, indicates the unity of the conceptual and thematic system of poetry, commitment to the people, society and the common use of poetry in raising the voice of the people. In the Akhavan's poetry, protest motifs appear in the form of a kind of desperate attitude. As a result, his poetry was a covenant of silent and politically protesting voices in the form of a social salvation. In the present study, an attempt is made to study the discourse of protest in the poetry of the Akhavan Sales based on a descriptive-analytical method. In fact, the main issue is to recognize the consolidating and vital elements of a dominant discourse in Iranian society based on recognizing and analyzing the type and diagram of official power. According to Laclau and Moffe, everything, especially the political and social, finds meaning in the form of discourses. The Using the theory of Laclau and Moffe in the present study, it is proved that the poetry of Akhavan Sales, with its protest and libertarian themes, introduces a new identity discourse against the dominant political discourse and ideology of the second Pahlavi era. Akhavan Sales creates a new articulation with the central sign of Iran, floating signs such as patriotism, defense of freedom and justice, protest against tyranny and oppression, as well as the revival of new religious schools.

        Discourse is a type of language application in a specific field and the study of social and cultural developments affecting the language structure. According to Fairclough, discourse analysis is the integration of text and society with the structure of language. Discourses are different representations of social life that place social actors in different situations and represent social life in different ways to creatively create a regular world through everyday methods. The analysis of each discourse has three perspectives;Analyzing the forms and structures of syntax that represent the author's point of view, the use of literary arts that is a big step in the personalization of language, and the analysis of the nature of literary speech that is a great way of communication in the service of society. Hosseini connects the melodious words to the symbol of zeal and the anti-tyranny nation and removes the objective veils from this great event. In his Ashura poem "Safarnameh Khaizran", he depicts the oppressed martyrdom of Alamdar of Karbala with an epic and strong tone in the form of Nimai's poetry.

Theme and characterization have the greatest role in the reflection of the society situations; therefore, in this article we have tried to analyze the reflection of World War II on theme and characterization. In this paper, the novel Almasabih Alzorq by the famous contemporary Syrian novelist, Hanna Mine and Savashoon by the famous Iranian novelist, Simin Daneshvar from the perspective of the impact of colonialism on both Iranian and Syrian societies have been reviewed. We have tried to analyze these two novels by using the theory of discourse analysis by Fairclough. The similarities and differences between these two novels were evaluated and examined. This led to the conclusion that both novels bear more similarities rather than differences in the colonialism attack and its reflections on Iran and Syria. Manuscript profile

        Critical Discourse Analysis emphasizes the principle that the language of literary texts, like other texts, serves communication and can be analyzed critically. In this article, Roger Fowler's theory in critical discourse analysis is selected and based on that, by looking at the context of the situation, the necessary knowledge has been obtained about the interaction in the text as well as the influence of the actors of the discourse. Also, the functions of the text have been studied from thought, interpersonal and textual perspectives.Theorists in the field of critical discourse analysis, including Norman Fairclough, Theon E. VanDyke, and Roger Fowler, have used Halliday's role theory as a tool for text analysis. This theory provides a tool for the researcher to find the ideology that governs the text and the ways that the speaker chooses to convey his thoughts, and it happens with the help of intellectual, interpersonal and textual roles at the level of language. The 21st letter of Monshath Qaim Maqam Farahani is a political letter written by Fath Ali-Shah Qajar to the Russian Tsar. Considering the cultural and political situation of the Qajar era and the social classifications regarding the position of the writer and the receiver, this letter is arranged from the lower position to the higher position, and among the communicative roles of language, the persuasive role of language prevails in its textual structure. According to the world view that governs the letter, the religious point of view is the most prominent manifestation and the main participant of the discourse in this letter of the king, whose way of naming shows the dominance of his power and ideology in this work.

        This paper aims to study the cultural identity and its crisis-construction in research literature of Iran. For this purpose, reviewing published research text in domestic journal, we analyze the mechanism of their dominant discourse in crisis-construction the concept of Iranian cultural identity. Studying the relation between cultural identity with globalization, this paper pursue the  general solidarity, knotting, text spaces, positive and negative points throughout the text, abstruseness, defaults and tacit meanings of these texts. In second phase, for determining the situation related to existence of crisis in cultural identity, a grounded research is done among 75 students abroad and 75 student inside. The finding show that the cultural identity status inside and outside is against claims based on crisis. The perception about it is resulted from meta-historical and strict approach. The other point illustrates that the domestic pattern is more religious and Islamic than abroad one. Also, there is not a meaningful difference between cultural identities in two sides. But the cultural identity of abroad student is more than domestic one in terms of Iranian elements.  Another finding shows that there is not any meaningful difference in the general mark of cultural identity. Finally the quantity finding has been analyzed related to findings of discourse analysis.  Manuscript profile

        Although the Middle East has always been one of the main focuses in the evolving international system, its role and importance in theories of international relations, especially the so-called mainstream theories, have been neglected. The Islamic Republic is one of the leading countries in cultural diplomacy in this region. Understanding the cultural diplomacy of Iran's foreign policy in the context of mainstream theories is not possible. Therefore, the use of new theories in a combined way can provide the basis for a deep understanding of the foreign cultural policy of the Islamic Republic in the Middle East. Now, based on the main concern of this article, by criticizing this deliberate expulsion of the region and its actors from the theory of international relations, the question arises that “why and how constructivism can it provide a basis for understanding the cultural diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Middle East?" The findings of this theoretical-strategic article show that according to the social, cultural and identity approach of constructivist theories and discourse analysis, as well as special features of the foreign cultural policy of the Islamic Republic focusing on the social construction of reality, it is possible to build an integrated framework. The research method in this article is qualitative with a descriptive-historical approach and the research data has been collected in a library manner by taking notes. Manuscript profile

        Death can be considered the most important common issue among humans in all times, places and the only rival of life. Expressing the nature of death is a kind of representation of different people's attitude towards the nature of life. None of the poets have removed this concern. Therefore, addressing the thoughts of writers and poets, in this regard, will be effective in better understanding and getting to know the intellectual and epistemological views of these poets. To achieve this goal, one should analyze the texts and poems of these poets. One of the methods of text analysis is critical discourse analysis. in which they discover the author's and poet's attitude towards his works. Since literature and society have a two-way relationship and the influence of contemporary poetry on society and the influence of contemporary literature in the formation of many socio-political developments has been proven. In this research, we aim to examine the influence of society on the poet's thought about death and its reflection in his works. Among the contemporary poets, Aminpour has expressed the important social and political issues of each period in his poetry explicitly and with appropriate tone, and this issue brings us into the realm of discourse analysis of his works. Accordingly, in this essay, by applying the level of explanation in the analysis of critical discourse, we seek to prove the ups and downs of the poet's death thoughts in his different poetic periods. It seems that his attitude towards death, which includes the outlook on life, has changed in different periods of his life. Manuscript profile

        Tale of Rostam and Esfandyar is an indicator of the inner conflict within the formal power structure and represents the manner in which resistance takes shape against the dominant power discourse.  This conflict and involvement in the tale are posed by narrative, dialogue, conversational schemes and sometimes is presented in terms of certain rhetorical structures.  This article deals with the study and analysis of conversation and dialogue as part of critical discourse analysis and further makes use of certain applied linguistic parameters in order to analyze the dialogue between two main characters of the tale that is Rostam and Esfandyar.  This study shows that power relations in Iran’s court and political institutions enriches the language and the structure of the tale of Rostam and Esfandyar with ideological sense and rhetorical power discourse is seen to cast a shadow over the tale.  Esfandyar is the representative of religious and political power and Rostam is the representative of national and heroic power who against his inmost wishes gets involved with an involuntary duel with Esfandyar.  Power discourse causes language to function in a particular context and to create a specific rhetorical approach in a way that when this passes through the filter of Ferdowsi’s mind, new discourse system with a new identity is formed.

        AbstractThe story of Bahram Chubineh’s revolt against two great Sasanid kings that is Hormoz, and his son Khosrow Parviz is only an example of many instances where Ferdowsi speaks about the insatiable nature of man to satisfy his instinct to acquire power and his continuous struggle to gain ultimate power.  The relationship of Bahram with Sasanid kings is among the longest interactions between the king and warrior, an example being the heated discussions between Bahram and Khosrow which covers a good part in Shahnameh.  Delving into this discussion is an eligible manner in order to analyze the power struggle in the political court in Iran.  The necessity to be connected with the kings’, nobles’, and warriors’ lineage on the one hand, and the need for national fame and popularity to gain the legitimate sovereignty, on the other hand, made the discourse between the two unique in Shahnameh especially that history confirms its correspondence.  Apart from benefitting from certain pragmatic language elements, this article is concerned with the close interconnection of two special kinds of language that is power and ideology.
