The Representation of Youth Everyday Life in Faseleha TV Series

The present research has been done aiming portray the quality of the representation of youth everyday life in the Iranian TV. The research investigates the representation of youth everyday life in a TV serial titled ‘The Faseleha’ using representation & critical theories. The results show that the serial، based on stereotype technique، encounters youth everyday life through a selective and biased approach، and while classifies youth into traditional and modern groups، the boundary between ‘Us ’ and ‘Them’ is specified. The main and dominant purpose of the serial is to fill the value-based gap between modern and traditional youths، and their idealist fathers. The serial using cultural propagation against youth puts them in a weak position and tends to organize their everyday life. On the other hand، we see that under the dominance of the system over the life-world، the communicative action of the youth actors of everyday life، including traditional and modern youths، with others of their same generation and with social institutions are disturbed. It is interesting to note that each of the social institutions encounters to youth everyday life issues in a similar away.
