The daily activities of women in Iranian community are considered as a context for social and cultural conflicts. In fact, after four decades of revolution, women's activities, especially their artistic and social activities, are still in conflict between political and social groups and activists. Meanwhile, apart from these political conflicts, we tried to get women's understanding of doing these daily artistic and social activities through the discovery of their interpenetration. To this end, the artistic and social activities of middle and upper middle class women were studied. Using a qualitative approach and grounded theory, a number of women in Mashhad city were selected through theoretical and purposive sampling and they were called for in-depth interviews. The process of theoretical sampling continued to saturation of data. Collected data was analyzed using open, axial and selective coding. The findings included 13 main categories and one core category entitled "hegemonic normative actualization". The findings were presented in a form of a storyline, a paradigm model, and a small-scale theory. In general, the results of the research indicated that women encounter their unrealized ego when facing with self-actualized person. Therefore, given special property they own, as well as their tendency to show off, in the context of keeping up with the joneses, and under the influence of hegemonic artistic tastes, women deal with artistic activities and produce and reproduce their social and artistic world.

The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the female characters of the film of "Invitation" (2008) directed by Ibrahim Hatami Kia from the point of view of Jean Shinoda Bolen theory. The film is the first non-war cinematic film of Hatami Kia, composed of five episodes, each with an independent storyline, but the commonality of them is the main character of the woman of every story that faces unwanted pregnancy and for reasons one of the couples in each episode intends to abortion. In fact, the audience of the film of invitation is watching the different reactions of five women in different social and cultural situations in relation to unwanted pregnancy and their decision to abort their children. The research method is descriptive-analytical and its information is based on library method, as well as field study, relying on watching the film and reviewing the speech and acting of its main characters. In her approach, Bolen inspired by Greek mythology, points to the seven archetypes or energy called Hera, Demeter, Persephone, Athena, Artemis, Hestia and Aphrodite, which emphasize a number of personality characteristics of women such as the desire to marry, motherly feelings, the desire for innocence and the girl's obedience, or desire for effort and progress. According to Bolen, in today's women there is energy and archetypes of the discussed patterns and their actions and reactions are affected. The results of this study show that in five episodes of the film, respectively, the archetypes of Athena, Persephone, Dimitri, Hera and Athena are recognizable and interpretable on the basis of the acts and speeches of the film's characters. But at the end of all episodes, with the overriding domination of Dimitri's archetype, all women have abandoned their abortion, which is more evident in the last episode.

The present study aimed to examine the status and role of female slaves with regard to the music of early Islamic centuries. The major roles of these slaves for promotion of music during early Islamic centuries included: playing music, singing, composing music, teaching music, keeping and reproducing the music of other musicians, criticizing and holding discussions, and creating a dynamic musical environment in the society. Theorizing about music was the only aspect not addressed by them, which was considered to be a masculine area due to its technical and scientific nature. A manifestation of the prominent position and capability of these women is their role in education and training of their contemporary musicians. The apprenticeship of men under women in the patriarchal society of the time was common, which is particularly interesting. The social status of female musicians during the early Islamic centuries featured a kind of contradiction or duality. On the one hand, music was promoting the status of female slaves, who would reach a distinguished social status by teaching music, sometimes acquiring considerable wealth and fame similar to princes and princesses. On the other hand, involvement of women from higher and aristocrat classes with music degraded their social status. The free women and royals were familiar with music, however, their engagement with music was considered below their social ranks, since music was a profession associated with female slaves. In general, the society of the time had a dual standard toward music. The musicians of this period enjoyed a prominent position, while there was a negative attitude toward music itself. The study employed a descriptive-analytical method, and the data were collected through secondary research.

According to the theory of renowned American feminist critic, Ellen Showalter, in the study of any sub-culture, including women’s literary sub-culture, we witness the process of three main stages of imitation, protest, and self-awareness. To describe this process, Showalter has developed three stages of transformation as Feminine stage, Feminist stage, and Female stage. As Feminine, the women novelist imitates overwhelming male traditions and patterns. As Feminist, the women novelist protests rooted values and measures in literature. As Female, the women novelist returns to herself to discover personal identity and self-awareness. The present study has extensively reviewed thirty three novels of Iranian women novelist in the last half century from 1960 to 2010.The study, with an eye on Showalter’s feminist theory considers transformation process of self-awareness in female writers of Iran and defines its development through the predetermined stages. As the result of present study, it was logically evident to claim that Showalter’s model comprehensively applies to the Iranian female literary subculture. Nevertheless, it must be noted that transformation from second to third stage was not broadly evident and only happened in the work of Shahrnush Parsipur titled “Blue Logos”. We may also need to study more works of Iranian women novelist to search for third stage enhancements.
