In this research, the rural society, rural cinema, changing of governmental policies and political economy of post 1979-revolutiont governments have been compared with each other by social and holistic approaches. We also aimed to assess the relationship and interplay between these subjects.
For these purpose, we categorized mentioned years (from 1979 to 2009) in four periods according to ruling governments, and social conditions: (1) consolidation of sovereignty and the Iraq vs. Iran war, (2) construction, (3) reformation and (4) recreation of revolutionary discourse.
We found that the first period had the most realism and commitment to reality of everyday life, but had least attend on culture industry (such as stereotypes and naturopathy) in comparison to other periods. Because of government neoliberal policies and ideological hegemony of structural adjustment and political structure of society during the Construction period the majority of movies were propaganda and ideological. Furthermore commercial and festival aspects became more apparent in rural movies.
During reform period, with the exception of creating new social idea and superficial social criticism that were introduced, the rural cinema remained unchanged. In this time, naturopathic films that can be admired by foreign festivals became more important.
In the third period, quasi-governmental and ideological movies that structurally based on festival-admired movies with emphasis on naturopathy, mystical religiosity (in contrast with traditional religion) and stereotypical subjects such as kids or mental retardation human. So there is no consideration about social reality of rural.

This article intends to present a description and a critique of Iranian everyday life. In doing so, we studied the everyday life of Iranian youth in one of its most common leisure activities, i.e. wandering in shopping streets. The field of study was the Golsa’ar Street in Rasht (A city in the north of Iran) and the theoretical framework of the study was the critical theory of everyday life. Observation and deep interviews – with 30 people aged from 16 to 44- were two main methods for data gathering in this study and they were classified based on the relations between different economic groups. The results of the study show that a few numbers of respondents have a critical approach, mostly among people with high cultural capital. However, it is also evident that having a critical approach about the everyday life of the people in the shopping streets, among the respondents, does not have a direct relation with the level of education and the economic position of the people. The only way to overcome the current situation, on the basis of these results, is an attempt to hegemonizing of a sort of critical consciousness which would be able to problematize both the traditional aspects of everyday life and the reified aspects of human relations, at the same time.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the communicative action in Tehran cafes. This is a qualitative research which uses semi-structured interview. The population of this study includes all café-goers in Tehran. The sampling used in this study was purposive and 30 people were chosen. To analyze the data, coding method and interpretation of obtained codes were used. The results show that the model of the communicative action of individuals in Tehran cafes does not follow the pattern of communicative action of Habermas. In fact, the communicative action of individuals was based mostly on emotion, tradition, ethnicity and friendship relationships, and de ’pending on discussed issues, the action type was different.
At the macro-level, it seems this leads to two or several intense divisions in society and between ethnic groups and other groups. Also, this creates an atmosphere of tension between different social groups. In these circumstances, pros and cons thoughts of present situation will not be challenged and this can lead to conflict and aggression between different classes in the most optimistic situation and at worst situation, can lead to suppression and elimination of one of the sides.

The purpose of this research is to study the quiddity of inquiry-based dialogue pattern and to survey the educational function of this kind of dialogue to children in both individual and the social aspects. The conceptual framework of this thesis is mainly based on the combination of the concepts of “multi-dimensional and Reflective thinking” in teaching “philosophy for children” and the dialogue theories in interpersonal domain and Habermas “communicative action” theory which are both shaped in the context of “zone of proximal development” . For this reason and for studying the function of this model, some focused interviews were conducted with the expert of dialogue domain in the field of communication, sociology and pedagogy.
Eventually according to the research results, the communities of inquiry in philosophy for children class can be a zone of proximal development, and with the assistance of a facilitator as a person who is the most knowledgeable, children manage to achieve a higher-order thinking level and reflective dialogue (i.e. caring, critical, creative). Inquiry-based dialogue education to children can get reflective, responsible, critical and creative attitudes in them by making them sensitive about the peripheral problems and promoting polyphony in the class. The interactions in these communities of inquiry through communicative procedures in which speaking plays the most important role, takes place as a sample of communicative actions.
