The revision of Feminine identity has been influenced by the acceleration of globalization and modernization, as well as the connection of Iranian women with the modern world and the social developments in Iran over the past century.
The societal and literary manifestations of Iranian women's reevaluation of their individual and social identities are evident in the last few decades. Fariba Vafi is one of the successful Iranian story writers. The Iranian woman's identity is one of Vafi's concerns in his works, such as the novel "A Secret in the Alleys.
The current research, which employs a descriptive-analytical approach, examines the components of female identity and life in this novel .It also addresses issues such as identity crisis, the transition between modern and traditional identity, and the retrieval and revision of feminine identity. It identifies the underlying factors, including aspirations, emotions, needs, and desires and women’s reactions to various circumstances. In this novel, along with narrating the three generations of women's lives, the author deals with female identity and its related topics, such as identity crisis, recovery and revision of female identity, and Iranian women's transition from traditional identity to modern identity. The novel is characterized by the pervasive presence of various forms of violence, particularly directed at women by males. In this novel, the author critiques the dominant gender stereotypes and ideology of society and emphasizes the necessity of reevaluating the identity of women and their role and position in the family and society, with awareness and to avoid extremes.

Shohalter's approach, known for its critique of the current state and tradition of women's writing, provides a platform for examining women's literature through the lens of gender differences. Shohalter analyzes literary content and structure by considering biological, linguistic, psychological, and cultural factors. The protagonist of this story is a lonely woman who is unjustly driven away from her home due to false accusations by her husband and becomes a wanderer in Tehran. In the novel, male characters, collectively or individually, play a role in the protagonist's tragic fate, while female characters, despite their futile efforts, strive to support her. The author creates an imaginary place called "Goran" to depict the historical oppression of women by a male-dominated culture. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Iranian women's writing in the novel "Peyadeh" using Shohalter's fourfold approach through a descriptive-analytical method. The results demonstrate that topics such as pregnancy and childbirth, relationships with men, maternal attributes, and connections among women can be examined from a biological, psychological, and linguistic perspective based on Shohalter's framework. Furthermore, a notable stylistic feature of the text is its unique blend of native Iranian narrative style, combining third-person and first-person perspectives with the utilization of emotional sentences, reminiscent of storytelling among Iranian women.

Discourses of power and their influence on social issues have recently garnered media attention and are represented in a variety of ways. The objective of this research is to analyze the discourse of patriarchy and its representation in Saeed Roustaei’s film “Leila's Brothers.” This investigation employs a qualitative methodology, specifically critical discourse analysis (CDA), as a result of its discourse approach and critical dimensions. CDA is implemented on four distinct levels: surface level, surface depth, depth level, and depth of depth. Dialogues, scenes, and language elements pertinent to the subject matter are chosen at the superficial level. These elements become more abstract and richer at a deeper level. Finally, the film’s concealed messages are analyzed by connecting linguistic elements to discourse practices at the depth of depth. The results indicate that the film contains two primary discourses: the decline of patriarchy (desperation, conservative reform, and the subsequent collapse of patriarchy) and the rise of femininity (female consciousness, imminent power of tyranny). The collapse of patriarchy is symbolized by "Leila's Brothers" in conjunction with the advancement of women. The film demonstrates that the cessation of patriarchy and the emergence of a women's discourse are currently being observed in contemporary society. The patriarchy is collapsing as women pursue a variety of professions. This film critiques and desacralizes the patriarchal position at the family and cultural levels, in contrast to the traditional sanctification of parents.

One of the objectives of this field is to foster the empowerment of women and the development of local economies through a variety of methods, such as social entrepreneurship, within the framework of sustainable development.
The aim of this study is to investigate and analyze the role of Bakhtiari women in the development of the local economy and tourism in Iran, with a particular focus on the significance of social entrepreneurship and the production of traditional Bakhtiari clothing as critical factors in this development.
Qualitative and quantitative methodologies were implemented in this investigation. Questionnaires and field interviews with residents of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces, as well as library research, have been implemented to gather data. The statistical population consists of Bakhtiari women, with a sample size of 389 individuals, and data analysis was conducted using statistical methods and analytical models.
The results of this study indicate that the Bakhtiari women have a significant impact on the tourism and local economy. Through social entrepreneurship, they address the creation of employment opportunities and the development of local economic activities. The primary occupation of the Bakhtiari people is the production of traditional apparel, which plays a unique role in the empowerment of women and the promotion of cultural and historical tourism in the designated regions. Based on the findings, the development of social entrepreneurship and the production of traditional apparel can contribute to the improved welfare of individuals in these communities and local areas. A suitable step toward attaining sustainable development goals can be taken by considering this matter and taking appropriate measures to support and develop these activities in local policy-making and planning.

In the constitutional era, Iranian women graduallyincreasingly entered the media. First, the women of the capital city entered this arena, and shortly thereafter, the women of the cities also entered. They quickly achieved success in this field, publishing significant publications and engaging in significant activities. The objective of this investigation is to determine the manner in which the “Neday-e Iran” and “Neday-e Irani” periodicals analyzed political and social matters in Iran during the years 1947 to 1952.The political and social issues of the 1940s and 1950s have been critically examined by the newspapers Neday-e Iran and Neday-e Irani, which were published in Shiraz by Mrs. Nusrat Al-Mouluk Kashmirizadeh, have taken a critical look at the political and social issues of their time.In the field of political affairs, these newspapers published sharp articles and analyses that criticized the performance of the statesmen and firmly opposed the underperforming and xenophobic statesmen.

A suitable platform for paradigmatic criticism would be the paintings of Iran Darroudi, a contemporary Iranian female painter, which are created in the surrealist and symbolism style. For instance, paintings are one of the domains in which archetypes are manifested. Archetypes are abstract concepts that are common, repeated, and abstract in various human societies. They are rooted in the collective unconscious, the deeper part of the psyche, and are reflected in the individual’s consciousness and unconsciousness through fantasies, legends, dreams, delusions, and artworks in the form of symbols and myths, according to the perspective of analytical psychology.In fact, these symbols and mythologies are containers that convey archetypes, and by interpreting them, one can gain a deeper layer of the human psyche. In this research, we will examine the symbols of archetypes in three instances of Iran-Darroudi’s paintings to determine the role of the collective unconscious effect through the reflection of archetypes in Darroudi’s paintings. The purpose of this research is to develop a novel analytical method that employs a distinct approach to facilitate a more profound comprehension of the inner layers of Darroudi’s paintings. The research performed qualitatively on descriptive-analytical method. The collection of topics would be based on observation and the library. The findings indicate that the primary bold elements in Darroudi’s art are the manifested symbols of sky, earth, ruins, flowers, pearls, and light. These symbols represent the archetypes of mother/woman, sky/father, ascension, and marriage.

In contemporary psychology, color is regarded as one of the personality measurement criteria. This is due to the fact that each color has a special effect on the viewer’s mind and body, representing their mental state. Poetry of the poet's entire mental and spiritual makeup, as it is derived from her emotions and sentiments. Max Luscher’s color psychology is a method that utilizes the selection of colors to gain insight into the human psyche. This investigation has examined the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad and Khaleda Forough, two contemporary poets associated with the Romantic Movement in Iran and Afghanistan, in accordance with the aforementioned theory. The quality and extent of the use of colors in their poems demonstrate that Forough Farrokhzad’s poetry prioritizes black, which reflects her inner conflicts, dissatisfaction, and disgust with the environment, as well as her depression and isolation. However, her frequent use of green in conjunction with black suggests her aspiration to alter the course of history and revolutionize society. Khaleda Forough's initial selection is green, which is a symbol of faith, freedom, and serenity. The color black, which is situated adjacent to green, is associated with tyranny, suffocation, and social unrest. The examination of the poetry notebooks of these two poets reveals that the use of calm and optimistic colors progressively replaces the use of dark colors. This demonstrates their aspiration and optimism for a more fulfilling existence, as well as their interest in implementing appropriate modifications to the image that evokes their emotions.
