Abstract

In the literature of political and social identity, the relationship between identity and local and national culture has always been disputed; Some thinkers believe in the conflict between the ideas of tribal culture and national identity, and subsequently its negative impact on the formation of the modern state, and others do not consider these two identities complementary to each other or at least in conflict between them. In the historical narrative of the two important events that shaped the flow of the constitutional movement and the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the same controversy exists in the form and content of the historiographical narratives. Based on this, the main question of the present research is as follows: What is the impact and position of Illyrian socio-cultural elements in the historiography of the constitutional movement and the Islamic revolution? The findings of the research have shown that the element of tribal leadership, centralized and hierarchical social organization, and the culture of participation in the collective life of the tribe provided platforms for the tribes to have an effective presence in both revolutions. The approach of the article is the qualitative method under the paradigm of critical history and the data is collected in documentary and library form.
