Furthermore, gender, particularly gender representation of women is the media interest with a significant role. Representation of women is different in different cultures. The way of portraying a woman is influenced by the particular cultural look at its role and stance. The objective of the current paper is to investigate women's representation in Shahrzad series from the perspective of Sociolinguistics. To this end, sequences of the series which are closely linked to the subject of this research, namely gender-based linguistic interaction, have been selected and analyzed using the Barrett's three-dimensional semiotic analysis method, woman's representation, and the linguistic status of women against men from the perspective of Sociolinguistics. The most significant results show the representation of the type of linguistic control by women and the men language superiority to the inferiority of the women language. The inferiority as a result of women linguistic absence as well as their sexuality in linguistic communication is influenced by the ideology of patriarchal discourse in society. مرکز مطالعات و تحقیقات زنان دانشگاه تهران 2538-3108 9 v. 4 no. 2017 469 489 https://jwica.ut.ac.ir/article_65333_72d815b369ca6d9c371dd7b7eb925b5a.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22059/jwica.2017.241316.944 Fardin Alikhah Assistant Professor.

The presence of women in social media and the impact of social media on their lives are important from the sociological point of view. Reviewing the conceptual framework and some of the researches and theories related to women's bonding with communication technologies, this study has a special focus on Cyber-Feminism. The main question of the research is the impact of membership in social networks on the lives of employed women and housewives. The authors conducted a deep interview with 15 housewives and employed women in the city of Rasht based on a qualitative method and a non-objective sampling with snowball technique. The findings of the study have indicated that social networks can increase the domain of social relationships and so facilitate their participation in various social, cultural, scientific and educational arenas, which corresponds to the ideas of Cyber feminism. The authors believe that the issues such as the patriarchal system, lack of security in cyberspace, and the lack of adequate media literacy and skills among the women can challenge the empowerment and the active presence of women in cyberspace as claimed by Cyber-feminism. مرکز مطالعات و تحقیقات زنان دانشگاه تهران 2538-3108 9 v. 4 no. 2017 491 509 https://jwica.ut.ac.ir/article_65334_46041756869274f3edaf6c57d2a408d5.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22059/jwica.2017.237098.909 Elaheh Panjebashi Assistant Professor, Al-Zahra University author Farina Farhad Master of Visual Communication, Non-profit University of RASAM author text article 2017 per The Golestan Palace complex as one of the oldest majestic edifice in Tehran is decorated by a variety of figures and legends in tiles.

Patriarchy is also a subset of patriarchal system that its main aim is domination over women and their subjugation. Since many Arab critics and intellectuals have some reasons for women problems and backwardness in the domination of patriarchal system, they also consider their development and liberation in fighting with this system. Accordingly, along with the start of awakening movements in Arab world, women’s libertarian movements were also formed by a struggle with patriarchal system among their objectives. Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, the Egyptian writer, politician, journalist, and jurist is one of the pioneers of this field in Egypt. A part of his works is dedicated to present women’s problems and issues and the criticism of patriarchal system in Egypt. Among these works are his short story collection titled “Gosas Mesriat” in which many of women’s issues in Egypt in the years following World War II is portrayed. The applied analyses in this collection indicate patriarchal culture as the most important discourse criticized by Heikal. It can be studied in three individual, familial, and social fields.  مرکز مطالعات و تحقیقات زنان دانشگاه تهران 2538-3108 9 v. 4 no. 2017 561 576 https://jwica.ut.ac.ir/article_65339_99422a6e9c4a71e42156e235647ef91c.pdf dx.doi.org/10.22059/jwica.2017.242277.952 Mahshad Sotoudeh Humanities, language and literature, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch author Mahshid Mirfakhraie Professor of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch author text article 2017 per Mādayān ī Hazār Dādestān, the book of Thousand Judgments, is one of the most important social history sources and juridical text in Middle Persian language and script.
