Discourse representation processes based on them، the ability of the person who caused the use of symbols، symbols and common language to engage with each other. This research is trying to analyze TV series of The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting in the 2000- 2010s based on cultural studies approach and the discourse of representation politics. Thus، the semantic discourse in politics، called the Irony in radio and television programs has created the processes that lead to weakening of the semantic representation Iranian names often it is through Irony.

Implementing Investigations، analyzes and performance measurements in special and qualitative social/cultural arena in our country، needs local and special methodologies. Thus the aim of present article is investigating these issues: the concept of culture، classification of cultural organizations in Islamic Republic of Iran، the Pyramidal structure of cultural hierarchy، the process of development and mutual influences of institutions، reviewing related literature of policy making in cultural issues، compatibility of strategies to existing realities in cultural performance structure، double division in measures and analyzing and elaborating suggested measures in elaborating weighting model and assessment method and investigating progress measures by focusing on Islamic-Iranian pattern of progress and investigating the effects of implementing this pattern plus weighting method and using related measures and studying some university cases which are implemented in three phases in universities and high education centers overall the country. This research has shown a linear model by considering weighting coefficients

Different genres of underground music are important issues in Iranian youth culture. The purpose of this research was to study masculinity in Iranian-Persian rap music. Therefore Persian rap music as a part of Iranian popular culture، between 2001 and 2011 was analyzed. We used qualitative research approach. The main method used in this study، was «Constructive Grounded Theory». So instead of using existing theories as a theoretical framework، the researcher sought to generate local theory from research field. Thus، using theoretical sampling، data compiled from various sources. The multiple data collection techniques such as interviews، observation، online observation، collecting documents and texts were used. Then all the data was coded with using open، axial and selective coding methods. Finally، 62 concepts and 16 categories derived from data and «plural form of masculinity in Iranian-Persian rap music» was defined as the core category. Then according to paradigmatic model، «Substantive Theory» emerged from the data، was presented as «story» and «visual model». Finally seven questions of Strauss and Corbin about the experience in research has been assessed to evaluating research

The goal of this research is on the one hand to identify various life styles of the youth living in Tehran and، on the other hand، to study several social، economic and cultural factors affecting the youth life styles. Based on Cookran formula، sample size amounts to 400، and cluster sampling was used as sampling method. Studying existing theories and reviewing empirical studies relevant to the research subject matter، various life styles such as aesthetical-hedonistic، functionalistic، sub-cultural، and passive ones were identified. According to the mean rates of various life styles، the hedonistic one enjoyed the highest rate، amounting to 53% of the sample population، the functionalistic one showed a moderate rate of 46. 8 of the sample population، and the lowest rate belonged to the passive life style. Based on the person correlation coefficient، it could be said that there was a positive and meaningful relationship between social capital and various types of life styles. Also، a meaningful relationship of 0. 01 existed between cultural capital and various types of life style. Moreover، person correlation coefficient confirms the meaningful and positive relationship between economic capital and functionalistic، hedonistic and passive life styles. Using step by step method in the multi-variable regression shows the economic variables contribution in explaining the life styles variable as to be as 0. 31، the social ones as to 0. 17، and cultural capital impact as to 0. 16. In sum، taking into consideration R2 coefficient، the three mentioned variables explain 19% of the variance of the life style variable

Political culture is one of the most important phenomena of social life in modern era، with an undeniable influence on the political conduct of the members of the society. It is also one of the main pillars and principles of the growth and development of society. Belief in political equality، trust، feeling of security، and national and ethnic loyalty، are among significant elements closely related to political culture and society development pattern. The present study aims to analyze the factors influencing the political culture of the students of Parsabad Islamic Azad University. The main question addressed in this study concerns the factors which influence the political culture of the students of Parsabad Islamic Azad University. The hypotheses of the study suggest that variables such as ethnicism، religiousness، political motivation، personality and socio-economic status have a significant relationship with political culture. The survey methodology – correlation between variables – and interview، as the means for collecting data to answer the questions، are utilized in this study. Also the statistical method and the SPPS software are used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that none of the hypotheses of the research was confirmed except for the relationship between the political motivation and the political culture. This shows that the temporal and spatial condition of Parsabad and، consequently، that of the students are different from the temporal and spatial conditions of the theories presented in this study

The world is witnessing great changes، and these changes are comprehensible in the realm of performance of “identity”، “boundary”، “geographic concept” (place) and “time”. Identities are now segmented، boundaries passed over، and places and time compressed. Television is one of the effective factors in making this happen. However، it seems like television، which itself is one of the evidences of globalization، has now acquired new characteristics. With a little care while reading texts related to globalization and media، we realize the four words “reality”، “identity”، “power” and “hyper-reality” are constantly repeated in these texts، and very few people doubt the close relationship between television and these topics. Facing such a situation، and to understand the characteristics of the global television، this article plans to start on the basis of a theoretic called “RIPH Model”. Based on the presumption that the role and place of television in forming the cultural shapes must not be exaggerated، it tries to present an outlook of the activities of the local and global televisions in the age of globalization and share the outcomes with 20 Iranian experts through interviews. RIPH is the short form which stands for the four words “reality”، “identity”، “power” and “hyper-reality”. These are the concepts with new definitions that have changed our views about life on the Planet Earth، and this article studies the factors related to global and local televisions in the frame of an innovative model suggested by the researcher called “The Lozenge of the Performance of the Global and Local Televisions (RIPH Model)”، by investigating the relations between television and the above-mentioned concepts
