Qualities of self / other relationship in Iran in the last century: using Bakhtin model and Chantal Moff approach
The confrontation of “us” against “others” is one of the paramount mind-challenging issues for Iranian intellectuals and scholars for many years before the Iranian Constitution. The present dissertation aims to address the issue concerning how the “collective self” or our perception of being “side by side” or “against the others” is conceived from Mikhail Bakhtin’s viewpoint. To this end, it was attempted to analyze the hypotheses contained in Bakhtin’s thought system to understand and interpret the qualities of our interactions with others. Accordingly, Chantal Mouffe’s approach toward statesmanship was employed to examine the hypothesis of confrontation manner between “us” against “the others” regarding the identity and development discourse. This discourse has been improved during the contemporary period despite the efforts of intellectuals and politicians of the era in terms of understanding and recognizing the other (as in modernity). Eventually, it led to the strengthening of monologue-hostile discourse by the regimes, and dialogue with “the others” was realized in an inadequate and fragile manner during some periods. It appears that the concept of Bakhtinian dialogism along with Mouffe’s political language can be interpreted and employed to block dialogue in today’s Iranian society concerning the aspects of this confrontation
