"Urban space production is a complex and multidimensional issue in which space is considered both a social product and a political agent. In this research, the relationship between space and power in a specific city has been examined using Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which is a sociological approach to analyzing the relationships between human and non-human actors. The main objective of this research is to identify and analyze the power networks (actors) involved in the production of urban spaces. The research method is a case study, and the case under study is Abbasabad lands in Tehran, which is one of the largest urban development projects in Iran. The research data has been collected through semi-structured interviews and field observations, and they have been analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach."The results indicate that in the Abbasabad zone, the government and its affiliated organizations have formed power networks using their political and economic influence, depriving other actors of participating in space production. It has also been revealed that the network of actors and power in this area is not in line with the needs and desires of the citizens, and even the role of experts and the private sector in space production has been influenced by political factors.

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.
