        The present research has accomplished by considering the importance of discourse production in the field of resistive economy, and concerning its cultural dimensions as reinforcement for resistance culture infrastructure in order to achieve resistive economy objectives.  In order to accomplish   this project it is necessary to be acquainted with the terminology and theoretical framework of semiotics and the term discourse should be elaborated. Semiotics is a discipline, in which culture and society are explored as signs.  Therefore, the main question of semiotics is how meaning is formed and its goal is analyzing, understanding and interpretation of signs. Discourse systems are articulated by signs which form meaning and discourse acts. Using structuralist semiotics perspective and qualitative methodology, this defines the signifiers’ hierarchy order and the way that they connect to make the signs meaningful, explaining syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis and signs interpretation, and determine the central signifier which gives order and meaning to the other signs. The research question is what are the cultural impediments for achieving resistive economy objectives? The hypothesis is we can achieve resistive economy objectives by obliterating impediments and discourse production. This research follows three objectives: 1-semiotic analysis of resistive economy impediments, 2-defining Islamic – Iranian discourse in order to pass the impediments and clear the subsiding signs of consumerism discourse, 3-returning back to the Islamic – Iranian discourse and relive signifies by concentrating on the “prosperity” centralization and offering solutions for discourse production. The results embrace solutions for discourse production in media to reinforce resistance culture. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the lifestyle of political agents in Fars province between 1392-1396 and provide a desirable lifestyle model for political agents. The main question is whether the lifestyle of political agents in Fars province in the years 1396-1392 corresponds to the indicators of Islamic-Iranian lifestyle? In order to find the answer to the above question, a model was designed that the optimal lifestyles of political agents were extracted from the Qur''an, the infallible tradition, and wisdom. Its achievement is the identification of 12 components including piety, justice, trust, humility and humility, respect for human dignity, honesty and truth, simple biology and contentment, lawmaking, accountability, consultation and co-operation, expertise and commitment. The method of this research is based on the fact that the subject of the life style of political agents in the Islamic model of Iran is progress and its components are often qualitative. The method of interviewing and Delphi method has been used. The results of this research have shown that the life style of political agents in Fars province between 2013 and 1396 is based on the Islamic-Iranian model of development, but it differs from the viewpoint of employees, brokers and clients. In this way, brokers have assessed their lifestyle indicators more than employees and clients based on the Islamic-Iranian model, and reported the employees and clients of the lifestyle indicators of political agents less often.

        The increasingly process of divergence tendencies in Europe has guided the mind to study this contradiction phenomenon, whereas it is in direct contrast with the very existence of the European Union. The EU, founded with the cause of forming a federation, is now facing the challenge of divergence and division. Assuming cultural differences and different identities at national and sub-national levels in EU as underlying assumptions, this research by using analytical- descriptive method tries to understand the dysfunctions of EU common policy on identity- building? In response to the question “what are the impacts of national and sub-national identities including ethnic, religious and cultural on the integration of EU?” the hypothesis has been given here is that “the national and sub-national identities of EU through forming resistance identity in two levels of national and sub-national making the most important challenge for the project identity of EU based on integration. The tendencies to national and sub-national identity increased in comparing to super-national identity. Despite EU’s efforts to making policy on common identity, the levels of supranational loyalties are far away from the expected level. In turn, the predisposition toward national and sub-national and also separating from supranational identity. The EU approach of common identity making is project one which is in contradiction with the procedural nature of identity. This issue causes reaction and strengthening of resistance identities visa versus the instructional nature of EU project identity. So EU witnesses the increasing of national and sub-national divergent across the EU members. Manuscript profile
