This research examines the political newspaper advertising in the 12th presidential election campaign in Iran (2017). The main aim of this research is to analyze the signs and ideology of the two political rivals in their press advertising campaign. For this reason those visual symbols and texts were investigated in seven newspapers. In this study, national newspapers were selected in three political stands: Iran (Government newspaper), Etemad, Arman and Mardom-salari (Pro Reformatists), Vatan-e-Emrooz, Resalat and Siasat-e-Rooz (Pro Foudemetalists). Using the John Fiske semiotics method and Barthes’ theoretical framework, photographs and texts of the seven adverts of the two main electoral candidates were examined. The results of this study showed that out of a total of seven advertisements, six of them were related to the reformist faction and in support of Hassan Rouhani's candidacy. Rouhani's advocacy emphasized the modernization approach, the development of industry, the increase in production, as well as those concepts such as freedom, justice and citizenship rights. The only rival candidate (Ibrahim Raeisi), backed by other newspapers, followed a populist approach by promoting religious values, back to the basics and fair distribution of wealth.

This article analyzes the impact of women`s political empowerment on good governance in Sweden and offers a model in this regard which may be utilized by Iran. Our main question is that what impact does women`s political empowerment in Sweden have on good governance in this country and what lessons we can learn for Iran. To answer this question, we combine Lange’s empowerment theory at the micro level (financial independence, awareness and participation), and Malhotra’s theory at the macro level (the provision of economic, social and political infrastructures), in order to come with a theoretical model to analyze the situation in Sweden. Gender equality in Sweden is being internalized through education. Women are very active in organizing and heading civil society institutions. They are also being considered equal to men in all aspects of life. Women are also considered to be one of the most important social forces in Iran, whose position has improved after the 1979 revolution. However, there are obstacles on Iranian women`s way to participate in the social and political affairs of the country and as a result help improve the scale of good governance in the country. The Swedish experience has a lot to offer for Iranian women though the differences in historical and cultural experiences of women in Sweden and Iran have to be taken into our analysis.

سخنرانیهای رهبران در مجمع عمومی، عصارهی کلیترین و کلیدیترین مواضع سیاسی بازیگران عرصه سیاست بین-الملل است و تحلیل زبانشناختیِ این متون میتواند حاوی نتایج پژوهشی ارزشمندی باشد. سخنرانیهای حسن روحانی از 2015 تا 2018 موضوع مطالعهی این پژوهش متکی بر نظریه کنش گفتار «جان سرل» قرار گرفته است. در پاسخ به این پرسش که الگوی کنش گفتاری سخنرانیهای روحانی در مجمع عمومی چگونه بوده و چه پیوندی با زمینههای متغیر خود داشته است، متن سخنرانیهای وی ضمن طبقهبندی موضوعی، بر اساس تفکیک کنشهای اخباری، تحریکی، التزامی، ایجادی و عاطفی، محاسبهای کمّی شده و نتایج در پیوند با بستر و در قالبی مقایسهای مورد تحلیل قرار گرفته است. نتایج نشان میدهد حجم کنشها به ترتیب از کنشهای اخباری، تحریکی، التزامی، عاطفی و اعلامی بودهاند. هر گاه سخنرانی کوتاهتر بوده کنشهای التزامی و اعلامی کاهش و کنش های عاطفی و تحریکی افزایش یافته است. در موضوعاتی مانند برجام یا انتخابات ریاست جمهوری ایران، بیشترین استفاده از کنشهای اخباری و در موضوعاتی مانند فاجعه منا یا حمله تروریستی اهواز بیشترین استفاده از کنشهای تحریکی و عاطفی بوده است. از نظر حجم موضوعات بیشترین سهم متعلق به برجام بوده که از 2017 به بعد با موضوع نقد عملکرد آمریکا جایگزین شده است.

The main issue of this article is to recognize how social space affects the performance of the first term of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. This article looks at developments in this period with a view to drawing a picture of the performance of parliament. Prior literature on examining the performance of legislative assemblies has looked more at the institutional or structural approach. But here the legislative assemblies are drawn in an environment full of relationships between diverse positions, individuals, groups, and institutions. In this article, using the concept of "Pierre Bourdieu", especially the concept of "social space" and " Performance " and related concepts such as field, legitimate query, doxa, habitus and capital related concepts, the performance of the first term of the Islamic Consultative Assembly is explained. To this end,we used qualitative methods such as thematic analysis.The analysis of the findings showed that Using interpretive and thematic analysis in data analysis, the ideology of the Islamic Revolution as a popular belief in the field of power was how to form a legitimate question in the political field, elections, and parliament, and the production centers of belief , especially Islamism revolutionary and the moderate reformism brought together On this basis, Even more questions were raised by the ruling class in the political, electoral, and parliamentary fields, and the answers were either affirmed or rejected in close proximity to the center of power. Islamic, revolutionary, and expedient nationalism reproduced power, political, and electoral conflicts.

با وقوع انقلاب مشروطه و تدوین قانون اساسی و تشکیل مجلس شورای ملی، گمان میشد که دولت و حکومت در ایران «کنستیتوسیونل» گردد؛ ولی، دشوارهی بنیادین سیاست ایران معاصر یعنی مشروطهسازی قدرت همچنان لاینحل باقی ماند و باتوجه به بقای درونمایههای اندیشگی، بهسمت وضعیت استثناء و تعلیق مشروطیت سوق پیدا کرد؛ تا جایی که گروهی از متفکران و سیاستمداران اعلام کردند که جهت رسیدن به اهداف مختلف و وضعیتهای استثنایی ایجادشده، چارهای جز پذیرش حکومت «استبداد منور» و مشت آهنین و دولت مطلقهی مرکزی، نیست. درواقع، سازوکارهای دموکراتیک، با حاکمشدن «وضعیت استثناء» بهحاشیه رفت و دچار «تعلیق» شد. بنابراین امکان و یا امتناع مشروطهسازی در تاریخ معاصر ایران به یک پرسمان اساسی تبدیل شد. پژوهشگران برای پژوهشِ پرسمان، از دستگاه مفهومی «وضعیت استثنا» بهمنظور واکاوی دشوارهی «تعلیقِ مشروطیت» در تاریخ اندیشه سیاسی ایران بهره گرفته و قصد دارند به این پرسش بنیادین پاسخ دهند که چه مؤلّفههای اندیشهای، سببساز تعلیق مشروطیت و چیرگی وضعیت استثناء، در دوران پایانِ قاجار و عصر سلطنت پهلوی اول گردید. در پاسخ به سوال پژوهش، این فرضیه مطرح است که در سالهای مذکور، حضور درونمایههای اندیشگانی اعم از اندیشهی شاهیآرمانی، سلطنتگرایی، حکومت یکنفره، استبداد شاهی، جهانبینی خیمهای/مسقف، رابطهی اطاعت بین رعیت و فرمانروا، مشروطهسازیِ قدرت سیاسی را بهتعلیق کشاند و استثناء را بر قاعده چیرگی بخشید.

Abstract For 46 years whites established the political system of race discrimination in South Africa and continuously reproduced it from 1948. The change of this system and transition to the democratic system during 1989-1999 is among the important events of the final decade of the twentieth century. The Institutionalized violence of the apartheid system looked infinite but the direction of changes and the establishment of de Klerk’s government (1989-1994) and Nelson Mandela (1994-1999) revealed the necessity for peace-building in the vengeance thirsty damaged society of South Africa. How did the peace-building became possible in this society with its transitional justice mechanisms? In order to find the reasons behind the political change in South Africa the present article makes use of Gidenz’s theory of structuration (structure interaction-functionality) emphasizes the hypothesis that peace-building in the transitional justice (permanent coexistence after peace) through highlighting “forgiveness instead of revenge” resulted in the transition from apartheid to the democratic government from 1989-1999. The findings of the study shows the role of leaders and agencies, the type of performance of the commission for truth and peace with the priority of damage compensation instead of punishment and choosing stable peace instead of realization of criminal justice.
