The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) reached in July 2015 between I.R. Iran and the P5+1, but the US announced its withdrawal from the deal on May 2018. This withdrawal attracted much media attention, both internationally and inside Iran, due to its impact on international political and diplomatic spheres. this article aims to investigate the representation of the US withdraw from JCPOA in four Iranian newspapers: Keyhan, and Resalat (the main representatives of the Conservatives); and Etemad, and Shargh (the main representatives of the Reformists). Using the critical discourse analysis method, this research relies on discourse, representation, and framing theories. The findings point out that the dominant discourse in reformist newspapers is “Interaction”. These newspapers emphasize on the necessity of interaction with the world, negotiations, détente, and maintaining the national cohesion. By applying the techniques of highlighting and marginalization, Shargh and Etemad highlight “their own” positive features and “the others’” weak points. Through these techniques, these two newspapers seek to represent and induce their intended frameworks. The dominant discourse in conservative newspapers is “Resistance”. By bringing up historical evidences on unreliability and hostility of the West (the US and Europe), They highlight negative aspects of “the others” and positive aspect of “themselves” as “Iranian people” and “Iranian political system”. These conservative newspapers make effort to induce their favorite concepts and frameworks and to influence others by emphasizing on the concepts of “resistance”, using domestic capabilities, resistive economy, revolutionary insight, and serious and severe reaction against the enemy.

Changes occurred in the type of common diseases have led to changes in medical models and paradigms explaining health.

Ageing can be studied from different theoretical perspectives. In this article, the author has taken the approach of cultural Gerontology, to provide explanation of ageing in feminist, intersectionality, and postmodern theories, to promote conceptual and theoretical knowledge in ageing studies. Also, the theoretical insights produced in this field, can be used in the social and cultural policies of the elderly. Cultural, feminist, and postmodern Gerontology show the diversity, multiplicity, and complexity of the ageing experience and by adopting such an approach in ageing studies, it is possible to gain an understanding of the voices, narratives, and lived experiences of diverse, vulnerable and marginalized groups of the elderly. These approaches represent a fluid and multiple ageing. The experience of ageing in Iranian society also indicates a heterogeneous and multiple experience and we can’t talk about uniform and homogeneous ageing in Iranian society. Ageing based on gender differences and inequalities is a multiple experience; in addition, Ageing is also experienced in a variety of ways, at the intersection with gender and other structural components such as class status, health status, and ethnic and cultural differences. Finally, it can be said that considering these social and cultural differences and inequalities in the analysis of the issue of ageing is very important and necessary.

The mosques have been the first worship and society place in the Muslim community. Since physical space roots in culture of each society. Therefore, the architecture of mosques in each culture reflects the cultural symbols of that society, which in addition to solving physical challenges and adopting to context in all geographical location should present a form with specific and continued identity, until able to provide the index of formal identity in the mosques to audience. But, by changing cultural pattern due to the modernization of societies, the continuity of physical identity in contemporary mosques have been broken.

The cultural life of objects is one of the fields of cultural studies and cultural sociology and interdisciplinary discipline that is limited and lacking in Iranian research. In this article, we will attempt to address this research deficiency by considering the social and cultural existence of the 'door' as an object and emerging. This will be accomplished through an interpretive study of the two films "Paternal House" (Kianoush Aiyari) and "Lovely Trash" (Mohsen Amir Yousefi). Our theoretical and methodological approach in this article is based on Simmel's ideas and theories. The results of this study, by accepting the premise that "man is a creature, boundary-bound," suggest that the "door" phenomenon in these works is a static, stopping, and confining factor. In the film, the men in the paternity house make doors, knock down walls, and hide, but it is women who break through the walls and unlock the doors, revealing the truth. In these films we also see the dialectic of the inside and the outside, hidden and revealing, as well as personal and impersonal, through the 'in' element. Studying these two films shows that the Door is also intertwined with gender, individuality, domination, secrecy, and history. They also act alongside the "in" element, such as walls, frames, windows, and locks, as a semantic motif and context that open social and cultural interpretations to text reading.

The family has an important role in reproducing cultural system and socializing individuals. But this institution is not always stable and sometimes undergoes challenge and tension in everyday life. One of the most current tensions in family life is due to misunderstanding between parents and children on different issues. This article deals with this problem by symptomatic reading of the film ‘I am a Mother’ and with the question that what a mother may do in such circumstances to solve the problem. The film shows the situation many families in Iran may have experienced. That’s why dealing with the paradoxical position of the mother in the film, reveals the deadlock of the parental relation in families. The findings show that what looks like maternal sacrifice in the first glance, is a pervert attempt to monopolize familial relations by the mother. Hence, the familial relation which is supported by maternal sacrifice, is susceptible to unexpected pathologies. This claim does not intend to undermine humanist values like sacrificing (especially that of women in the family life), but in some circumstances, the order which prevails is different from what people suppose.
