Music consumption has a prominent role in women's everyday life experiences as an active audience. The question of this research was "how the musical taste of women is formed?". This question was answered by qualitative research method and study of women's musical experience. The data collection tool is semi-structured interviews with 28 women with different educations, social statuses, and age groups in Tehran city, who were selected by purposeful sampling and theoretical sampling common in qualitative research. Data from qualitative interviews were coded with the thematic analysis method. The findings indicate that the audience's musical taste is not a predetermined matter, but rather a product of the interaction of the audience's individual background and social position. This means that musical taste is social. The lived experience of women shows cultural capital (family cultural background, education, musical knowledge, and skill), economic capital (individual economic situation and family economic background), multiple identity sources (network of reference groups, ethnic identity, religious identity, national identity, generational identity), and media sources (mass media consumption, social media consumption), shapes and differentiates their musical taste.

This study was conducted to study the representation of the concept of "women against women" in cinematic works. Qualitative work in the field of cultural studies that seeks to explain and analyze a particular set of conflicting actions displayed among women in Iranian cinema under the concept of "benevolent xenophobia."Even if cinematic images are not devoid of bias, they can be a slice of social reality. For this purpose, four films from the total of films screened in the 90s have been studied on a case-by-case basis and analyzed by a combined method of discourse analysis and semiotics. The findings of this study show that in a historical and social context, Iranian cinema presents a picture of xenophobia among women, which marginalizes its repressive nature and emphasizes its benevolent intentions. For this reason, the characters in the films in this situation are mainly unaware of and tolerate the reproduction of discrimination against them by their homosexuals. This representation is generally considered to be everyday and natural and is depicted in the margins of the main theme of the film. the characters in the films in this situation are mainly unaware of and tolerate the reproduction of discrimination against their homosexuals.
