Disability discourse analysis as a social issue (Emphasis on contemporary Iranian law)

Disability and its special position in social issues has changed the attention of thinkers in this field from a "medical-oriented" to a social perspective. By looking at how and why discourses are formed, we can trace the elements of discourse and the dominant environment of discourse as two basic issues in the emergence of any type of discourse. The purpose of this study is to investigate the discourse of disability and redefine it in contemporary Iranian law in a historical context. Also, the present study tries to explore the redefinition of the discourse of disability in the texts of contemporary Iranian law by focusing on how this discourse has changed. This study, by referring to official documents, written documents, books and articles, recognizes the historical course of the emergence and change of socio-legal and cultural discourse on "disability discourse" and, if possible, provides evidence and examples. The method of this study is mainly history-oriented and theoretically seeks to use Foucault's theory of paleontology (the study of social systems) and the "historicity" of discourse.The changes in the discourse types of disability or the writing of "protective" laws have not been achieved from them all at once in the social structure of Iran and in fact it is considered as a continuation of the process of greed and the emergence of social demands of people with disabilities. Such right-wing demands are on the one hand the result of social movements both in contemporary Iran and in a wider dimension, the product of increasing social awareness and expanding the scope of citizenship demands.
