        This article is interdisciplinary analysis between sociology andliterature and tries to study works of Sohrab Sepehri from sociologicalperspective. 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. This research and similar works,while discovering such potentialities, diminished the intricacies of theseworks, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary research andhighlighting the necessity of simultaneous education in the respectiveacademic disciplines.

        Global experiences show that from the 1980s onward urbandevelopment plans have received increasing attention to participatoryapproaches. To the extent that urban participation is currently the key tothe success of the urban development project, as well as one of thecriteria for assessing the performance of the urban management systemand its components (municipalities and city council). People'sparticipation in the development process is so credible that developmentis equivalent to participation. Participation is one of the main concepts ofsustainable development, hence, city managers have always tried byattracting people's participation, and they can best achieve their goals ofoptimal city management, especially in the suburbs of cities. Consideringthe importance of people's participation in good city management, thepurpose of this research, is a comparative study of public participation ininformal and planned settlements (case study: Dadgostary Neighborhoodand Mollazinal neighborhood).

        Sexual desire and sexual interaction with the opposite sex, as one ofthe first natural desires of human beings, is satisfied through definitenorms of different cultures, mainly marriage. However, some of theheterosexual relationships happen outside of the marital framework; theyare regulated based on personal norms and continued with differentmethods of justification and secrecy. The current paper aims to identifythe motivations of premarital heterosexual relationships by means ofphenomenological analysis of premarital heterosexual experiences amongstudents of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. 22 students were selectedas participants of the study. Five types of relationship with the oppositesex, namely, verbal relationship without affection, one-sided emotionalrelationship, mutual emotional relationship, emotional-physicalrelationship and emotional-sexual relationship were selected as a basis tocreate five general meanings of “opportunity motivation, experiencing adifferent relationship, desire for marriage, love and belonging, and sexualpleasure”. The results indicate that, sexual and social needs areintertwined; and this interlinking and its subsequent justifications havecreated a positive coverage for these types of premarital relationships tocontinue among participants. Moreover, sexual differences andsociocultural situations are among the factors which influence theformation of heterosexual relationships, matching different types ofmotivations and relationships among two sexes.

        The objects and phenomena of the world in a variety of ways representthemselves to humans, and each individual's consciousness is influencedby his or her own experience of the world around him or her.Phenomenology is a method by which many people's knowledge andexperience of concepts and phenomena can be obtained withoutintermediation. From a phenomenological point of view, perception isalways a perception of a phenomenon and perception without phenomenais meaningless so we must turn our attention to the objects themselves.The main purpose of phenomenology is to discover the variousexperiences of individuals in the phenomenon under investigation, toarrive at the true nature and essence of the phenomenon or concept. Thephenomenological presupposition is that the universe and its phenomenaare outside of human beings and that human can get an image of it as amirror. Phenomenological research requires a thorough understanding ofits own philosophy and executive style. Hence, the present article seeks toanalyze the philosophical foundations of phenomenology, identify anddescribe the main approaches and the method of conducting step by stepphenomenological studies.

        In the present research, we have neither been pursuing to have apathological study of the audience crises not to search for approaches toabsorb audiences in theater but through an anthropological attitude andusing the components of this field , it has tried to put forth interlinkedquestions to gain a relative understanding of the people who form theaudience population of the theater at present time, those who refer to the"Theater Shahr" (City Theater) and "TalarVahdat" (Unity Hall) as the twomain poles of theater nationwide. On this basis, 70 people have beenchosen randomly out of the audiences with regard to their age and genderand have been interviewed with each of them for about 40 to 50 minutes.The research methodology was qualitative and the instrument was thesemi-structured interview. After summing up the interviews andclassifying the motifs, the data were interpreted. The results show that,the most of the audiences see theater merely for filling their leisure timerather than cultural demands. If they were not restricted economically,then they would have preferred trip or other recreations. The intervieweescited a total of ten reasons for going to the theater, the most important ofwhich was "purely for leisure". Theater audiences have similar tastes andconsequently the same cultural preferences. Over 40% of the concernedstatistical population have a high rate of objectified cultural capital andsuffer from poverty in the embodied cultural capital. Despite to thementality ruling over the atmosphere of the theater, more than 60% of theaudiences are comprised of the graduates or students of fields of studyapart from art. Manuscript profile
