United States withdrawal from JCPOA has been one of the top headlines of the news media, specially the press, during the recent years. This research aims to study the representation of US withdrawal from JCPOA in the Iranian newspapers (Kayhan, Resalat, Shargh, and Etemad). The study has been conducted using critical discourse analysis and is based on discourse, framing and representation theories. The study results indicate that the dominant discourse in reformist newspapers is identifiable under the “interaction discourse”, and these newspapers have asserted the necessity of cooperation with the European Union, commitment to the JCPOA agreement, multilateralism, and various diplomatic agenda regarding different related countries. This range of newspapers have used various documents to refer to Iran's commitment to the nuclear deal, and in contrast, have written about the unilateral violation of the JCPOA by the United States. On the other hand, dominant discourse in fundamentalist newspapers has been identifiable under “resistance discourse” which aims to represent this event in accordance with their media policies, by emphasizing on the signs like focusing on national capacities, necessity of reciprocal action against the US and resistance against the enemy. These media seek to influence the audience and instill their intended concepts by highlighting the other party’s negative characters and referring to the history of the US disloyalty and hostility toward Iran, and insisting on despicability of reliance on the US, and finally, representing “the Idea of Resistance” for audience.

"Water literacy" is one of the ways to raise public awareness on water-related issues. Since crisis communication and risk communication can play a key role in crisis management, this study, while trying to introduce more "water literacy", has tried to address how local managers and journalists in Khuzestan Province dealt with the flood phenomenon of Khuzestan in 1398 as one of water- related threats.This Study has been done by qualitative method and Grounded Theory. In this study, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 people (seven managers and seven local journalists of Khuzestan) and in three stages of initial coding, axial coding and selected coding. The findings of this study showed that managers and journalists in Khuzestan, despite their relative orientation with the phenomenon of flood and its causes, in practice have not been able to implement water literacy criteria in facing this phenomenon, which is one of the water-related hazards. The central category in this research is "polar exposure to the dam", the group of managers show two types of exposure and the group of journalists show three types of exposure to the dam structure. This seems to be the most important difference between the two groups, which can be explained by the Reception theory. Findings of the research show that in order to manage water-related risks, in addition to raising water literacy of journalists and managers, socio-economic development of the region is also necessary.

Giving a fundamental definition of the matter of the society, posthumanism decenters humans and rearranges him/her amidst different other forces. There are just different assemblages and entanglements of forces that amplify the contingent matter of existence. Then, the object of the article is a theoretical approach to the posthumanism turn in relation to the digital state as a more intensity of amalgamation of the machine and human so as to analyze the digital memory. Coining concepts to make the possibility of thinking about understanding the contemporary state is one of the most analytical and research necessities about digital and cultural studies of Iran since there is a lack of considerable inquiry and translated literature in this field. Based on the conceptual framework, we take three recent Iranian social and political events such as 25 years of political contracts with China, an epidemic of Covid-19, and the governmental decision to baning the Pfizer vaccine for Iranian people as three analytical cases for studying Iranian digitalized reactions. The implications are the importance of posthumanism turn for identifying recent social transformations in connection with digital technology, digital intelligence, new media, and extensive links of forces. These make different analytic opportunities for interpreting contemporary Iranian society.
