Representing the questions and problems of human society is one of the most important tasks of cinema. One of the most important issues that Canadian filmmakers have addressed over the past decade has been the issue of lower-income women and their issues. This article aims to investigate how the problems of lower-class women are represented in the country’s cinema. The theoretical framework of this research is composed of two theories of feminism, which is the main theory in the field of women’s studies, and the theory of representation, which plays an important role in media studies. In this article, the film “Red Nail Lacquer” was studied using John Fisk’s semiotic method and analytical model and targeted sampling. The results of this study show that at the level of reality, the film, by examining social codes, introduced women from the lower classes of society. At the level of representation, by means of technical codes, by means of technological tools, the problems of this class try to transmit feelings and to create twins. He has an audience with the characters and at the ideological level of the film, he has dealt with issues such as patriarchy, prohibition of women’s employment, forced marriage, responsibility and commitment, and resistance to the problems that concern women in this class.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Glass Agency movie directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia in order to critique the discourse of the government at the time of making this film, in the seventies. The authors used the method of qualitative analysis of content and, by identifying the components of governmental discourse, explore the contexts of political criticism in cinema in the 1970s. The Glass Agency is also one of the most important films in this area in the 1970s with strong political themes. In the post-war years between Iran and Iraq, he ruled the country with an economic development vision. In the film The Glass Agency, Ebrahim Hatamikia uses this question as a starting point and criticizes the performance of the government. This study shows that the critique of political discourse in Hatamikia’s film is explicitly used against the policies of the country in the post-war years and examines the context of political and social conflicts in the country.

Today, modern architecture is considered part of the civilizational heritage of the countries that underwent the modernisation process in the last century. Many of these vessels are now abandoned and are scheduled for rehabilitation. Their revitalization can be an important step in improving the living space of any city and a source of influential social development in the area of citizen identity. In the meantime, many buildings with exceptional features of industrial architecture that are abandoned in the city centre or suburbs of cities may be the context of cultural events.  In this study, the components affecting the revitalization of modern factories and also how the spatial configuration in the field of their structure are extracted first from theoretical studies and then analyzed through deductive-comparative methods. Data collection was done through field observations and surveys, library studies, simulations of specialized spatial planning software, as well as through the AHP method. Analysis of the results shows that visual perception is the most significant sub-indicator in the restoration of abandoned buildings of modern industrial heritage. It has also been clear that the building functional system has the highest score among the macro indicators; this suggests that the physical capacities and capabilities existing in the building or the possibility of creating new spatial situations in adaptation to the new functional plan and turning the building into a cultural center, plays the most important role.

Since its creation, media coverage has always struggled with a category known as rumors. But with the spread of social media, a new and, of course, more prone place for spreading rumors has been created, which in some countries, including Iran is more aggressive for reasons such as the lack of official information. The present study intends to determine the typology, origin, level of prevalence, and prevalence of rumors through the human observation of news agencies, telegram messengers, Instagram social network, and Twitter, from the time of announcing the outbreak of corona in Iran on February 22, 2017, to April 20, 2016. Analyze Iranian society. According to investigations, half of the Corona rumours were devoted to rumours that provoke public sentiment, spread rumours against the government, and exaggerate the number of Corona patients and victims. Other categories, such as gossip against the armed forces and gossip about methods of transmitting, preventing, and treating coronas, are in the next category. Considering the effect of cyberspace rumors on false arousal of emotions and public opinion and its psychological and social consequences, in the present study, an attempt has been made to use the concept of news literacy, which is in fact a subset of the concept of media literacy. Talking to experts in the field of news and modern news media, the reasons for the relative prevalence and high number of cyberspace rumors in Iran and policies and ways out of the current situation should also be mentioned.

In myth theory, Northrup Fry attempts to obtain a precise classification of literary and artistic types by discovering the commonalities between literary types and their archetypical connections. In this speech, we have tried to compare the cinematic plot of Holy Place’s screenplay with the stages of this myth by focusing on the structure that governs one of these types, i.e. romance. The main issue is how this adaptation manifests itself as cinematography. Because in romance, the narrative and history structure prevails over the dramatic structure. The results of this study demonstrated that the type of novel is more compatible with the mythological-religious structure. Because the mythological and archetypal structures go beyond stories and point to a set of human rules, behaviors, and as a result, history and communities, which cinema is represented in the form of images. The search was conducted using a descriptive analytical method. The data were collected from library sources and used for sampling purposes.
