Read More Introduction: By the mid second decade of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the emergence of a part of "the new religious Thinking" created a new feminine identity against the feminine identity of the revolutionary discourse. After three decades of efforts by this movement to articulate a new feminine identity, demands were raised by women leading to challenges against the feminine identity of the revolutionary discourse. Considering such developments, can the situation of Iranian women and their new demands turn to a social movement?Method: First, this article exploits the discourse analysis of Laclau and Mouffe to analyze the conflict between feminine identity of the Islamic Revolution and that of the new religious thinking. Second, In the light of discourse analysis, an attempt will be made to demonstrate that "temporality" has been a decisive element in the emergence of new discourses, and it is in and through such a consideration that new identities question de-constructively the foundation of any ruling discourse welcoming new aspects of a new forming discourse step by step.Findings and Results: Based upon discursive temporality, this article evaluates the conflict between the feminine identity of the discourses of the Islamic Revolution and that of new religious thinking on the direction to become a social movement and suggests that the guardians of the revolutionary discourse recognize the developments of such new religious innovations in the domain of feminine identity as a rival discourse. By the recognition of this rival feminine identity, they will take to consideration the moment of transformism as a response to the new changing conditions: social movement. As it follows, transformism does not mean a thorough admission to a rival discourse, but it adheres to a wise calling of alternative religious solutions and strategies. It is wise because discourse analysis as an analytical strategy signifies the historicity and temporality of discourses. Transformism is a discursive response to the historicity and temporality of any dominant discourse, including the discourse of the feminine identity of the Islamic Revolution, where the dominant discourse conforms to new requirements and realities.

Read More War is one of the political and Social phenomena that deeply affected all aspects of life of people. In this situation, many people’s outlook will be changed towards realities and perceptions. The two world war have expanded and influential role in the context of rapid developments around the globe. The issue of this article is the lived experience of women fighters in eight-year war and its impact on their daily lives and the change in their mentality and socio-political demands. The Iran-Iraq war and women's participation in it have been a major factor in women's reflection (rethinking) of their socio-political role in post-revolutionary Iran. In the absence of men, women could find better condition to expand their presence in the public sphere and diverse their social roles. The authors' research was based on interviews with several women fighters and the method of this research was to analyse the content of these interviews. Many of these women refuse to take part in authors’ interviews, because they are disappointment about the results of these activities. Based on perception about their previous participation, this kind of behaviour had not acceptable outcomes for them. These women have risen above traditional families, and their presence on the battlefield has challenged many of their traditional norms. The main question of the authors of this article is: "What effect did the presence of women fighters in the Iran-Iraq war have on reflection) rethinking (their traditional roles after analysing the content of the interviews, the results showed that women’s participation in the war and their success " in carrying out their duties on the battlefield, was a factor in reflection (rethinking) their traditional roles and challenging traditional discourse, preparing them for the public arena and their demands in the political realm. The women who participate in planned interview and answered the questionnaires, spoke of the do's and don'ts of gender, in the eight-year war, and in post-war society, discrimination between women fighters and men in official institutions. They have referred to many different forms and kind of discriminations against them. This research shows that the Iran- Iraq eight-war had very deep impacts on Iranian women, like the previous experiences of women in Europe and the USA. This war lead to rethinking in women’s traditional roles in Iranian social and political life, and consolidation of their self-reliance. This process had continued in post-war Iran and have affected the next generation too, both women and men. But the resistance of a traditional society has not stopped, and different kind of obstacle remain.
