Qualitative research is a kind of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that can be used in studies and research in the field of art. This process is to be consolidated through some epistemological patterns and views, and its purpose is more to understand phenomena than to predict situations. Qualitative research is influenced by postmodern elements and paradigms, hermeneutics, cultural studies, semiotics, and critical discourse analysis, so from this view, it sometimes has a critical and analytical approach. This article, which has been written using the qualitative research method (sign-semantics), has studied and introduced qualitative research and its usage in artistic studies, and a case study of contemporary painting in the Islamic world. The information and data of this research have been collected based on theoretical studies and library methods. The results of research findings show that: 1- Contemporary painting of the Islamic world, due to its aesthetic dimensions, language, and its contemporary expression and at the same time, as a sign system, it can be taken out of general and sometimes descriptive views by qualitative research and studied in the fields of text analysis. 2- Qualitative research, due to its multidimensional and flexible features, is the most appropriate scientific method and approach in the study of visual arts, especially painting, which often gives different scientific results from the interpretation and analysis of artistic texts. The methodology of qualitative research studies can be related to the approaches such as anthropology, semiotics, cultural studies, language, cognition, and discourse analysis. Appropriate theoretical and analytical capabilities will prepare the researcher. This process through some of the patterns and consistencies will bring epistemological perspectives and the aim of understanding the phenomenon will have more predictable situations. Qualitative research is influenced by the sphere of postmodern paradigms, hermeneutics, cultural studies, semiotics, and critical discourse analysis. So, from this point of view, this approach includes analytical and critical features. The present paper uses qualitative research methods to review the application of qualitative research methodology in studies of Contemporary art of the Islamic World. Information and data were collected and reviewed in a library method. The results suggest that the Contemporary Painting of the Islamic World due to the specific cultural and aesthetic dimensions and, at the same time as a sign system can be reviewed by qualitative studies and their research frameworks. They also show that previous studies that only contain history are far outside the mainstream; Hence this paper takes on new areas of scientific study.

In the tenth century AH, India and Iran became great powers under the rule of two prominent Safavid and Gurkhanid dynasties. The peak of Safavid power in Iran coincided with the glorious power of the Gurkhanids in India, and this coincidence led to the establishment of relations between the two countries. The emergence of a special Indian painting style that arose due to the migration of Iranian painters to India is very important in the history of Islamic Indian art.The images of this period in both countries show that Iranian and Indian women in this period acted not only as dancers but also as musicians. According to the pictures under review, it seems that women musicians were not present in other places except in private gatherings (sometimes in the presence of the king himself and sometimes in a completely feminine manner without the presence of men). . It also seems that female musicians are only shown playing certain instruments, which could indicate that women are more skilled in those instruments than men.In this study, an attempt has been made to take a comparative and analytical look at the drawings of the two schools of Iran and India to find out whether women musicians have an equal position in the two countries and what is the variety of instruments used by them. ?. The results were obtained by examining 20 drawings from each school and using written sources as evidence. This research is a documentary-library with a comparative and analytical method and its data collection method.

The purpose of this article is to review three films by Asghar Farhadi - "Chaharshanbe Soori", "About Eli" and " Nader’s Separation from Simin" - which deal with the subject of lies. The authors tried to investigate the contexts and functions of falsehood in these three cinematic narratives by using narrative analysis and using semiotic methods and physical codes (technical, social, and ideological codes). The present study, by dividing lies into three types of lies as a loophole, lies as traps and weapons, and lies as Facilitator (facilitator of daily affairs), shows that lies in Farhadi's works originate from urgency and act as an escape route.  Meanwhile, the semiotics of the three films show that the Iranian society shown in these works and its requirements for the characters of the three narratives, there is no escape but resorting to lies in the face of various issues. 

Throughout history, art has been an eloquent language to meet the goals set by human beings and artists. In particular, art enjoys a basic status in such complex subjects as revolutions. In Iran, the works portrayed by artists during the Islamic Revolution display the influence of the then prevailing atmosphere on artists. Many artists have created works in this period with such topics as martyrdom, sacrifice, women, etc. considered works to be contemplated. This is while, women and her personality in the society was one of the most important issues whose views and position changed fundamentally as the Islamic Revolution appeared; this issue was widely reflected in the works of that period. In the present article, attempts were made to investigate the paintings by the artists of the Islamic Revolution with an emphasis on the works of Kazem Chelipa as one of the painters of the Islamic Revolution, whose female character constituted the main axis of his works. In this way, while analyzing and investigating the works, the issue of identity with the focus on the role of women was addressed in the form of symbols and signs used in the works intended. This study concludes that most of the artists' works during the Islamic Revolution was the same in terms of objective and content and that there is an issue, which is trying to express the ideals of the revolution, the effectiveness of women during the Islamic Revolution and the importance and recognition of existential and true identity. This research used a descriptive-analytical method and a library technique.

In the last years of his life, Foucault introduced his techniques as an alternative form of technique in the humanities. Genealogizing his techniques from ancient Greece to modern times, he introduces hermeneutics as the most advanced and sophisticated form of his technologies. By applying its hermeneutics to itself, the modern subject exposes and interprets the flow of thoughts, inner secrets, and the most hidden layers of his psychic realm to another great (symbolic) thing, as an open text. The subject is now controlled not only by the techniques of domination and domination, but also by the general field of public morality and culture through its hermeneutic practices. Literary modernism, on the other hand (twentieth-century avant-garde literary and artistic currents), contains aspects and symptoms that show considerable affinity with its hermeneutic symptom system. The symptomatology of modern literature suggests that its evolution from the age of classicism to the first half of the twentieth century is a process of moving towards introversion, self-referral, self-expression, self-reflection, and the exploration of the psychological realm to the deepest Its layers show. Symptoms that are all recognizable in their hermeneutic order. In general, the symptomatic reading of literary modernism shows that the basic hermeneutic symptoms are recognizable in this form of literature.

Folk art" refers to those arts that have not been properly considered throughout history and have not succeeded in finding their true place in contemporary art.

Most of these factors are absent in the social atmosphere of folk arts in Iran and if they occur, they can change the social status of marginal and folk arts to the social status of central arts or fine arts.
