This study concerns to analyze femininity identity by psychoanalysis approach of Lacan. Psychoanalysis is certainly one of the most areas of debate within feminist artists. The main question of this research is: “How does video art show the femininity identity?” So, initially we tried to categorize different influential concepts of Lacan’s psychoanalysis which is necessary to get to know his attitude about gender. Video art is one of the new media arts born after World War II. Video is a medium which come to challenge other media in different subjects. In this research, we have explained how video art has tried to show the femininity identity in contrast with the other media like cinema and television. The main concern of this study is exploring the ways in which female identity is constructed and mediated through the art of video art. Therefore, some videos have been analyzed according to Lacan's theory. In this way, a women video artist Pipilotti Rist (1962) has been selected. Rist made lots of works about the female body by concentrating on color and sound. I'm not the girl who misses much, Ever is over all, I couldn't agree with you more and Be nice to me are the videos analyzed by Lacan theory about gender identity in the article. By analyzing her, it can be known that video art changes the position of women and it changes the language and structures of dominant display.

Sections of history were unsaid because they happened beside facts. In these situations, minds were attracted by what is visible. As a result, few facts were ignored. In many of sources that considered Fath Ali Shah`s iconography, his intense tendency toward using jewelries or attention to appearance defined as his diplomatic policies toward foreigners. This note has a considerable place in art studies that no one wants to analyze it. In a comparison which is performed between the paints of harem women and Fath Ali Shah`s iconography, there were some similarities that highlight womanly tastes effects on these habits. Therefore, present research considers harem and its effects on Fath Ali Shah`s taste and introduces these effects by using historical-descriptive approach. View of this article is new in art studies and this is a one of important points of this research.

Regarding to the theories of power, a number of scientists believe that power is general exercised across the society through the “contextual” mechanisms. The present study aims to identify the contextual mechanisms which allow gendered power. The present study addresses the issue of how movies toward the subjugation of women and the strengthening of the masculism discourse. Also, this study examines how women’s’ counter discourse disrupts the pattern of power enacting. For responding to studies question gendered power is evaluated and interpreted using critical discourse analysis and Pelgi and Wodak combination approach as well as the theories of Bakhtin, Althusser, Žižek and Julia Kristeva and their most important concept such as discourse struggle, subjectivization through interpellation, fantasization, and contamination in two films of Tahmineh Milani and Rakhshan Banietemad. Findings show that the films of Tahmineh Milani are Texts of monophonic and power exerting is unilateral and it is from masculism discourse. The mechanisms of power exerting is used by masculism discourse for acts of domination. The films of Rakhshan Banietemad are texts of polyphonic and all discourses can speak.

There are opponents and proponents in the new debate on feminine and masculine literature. Opponents emphasize nonsexual nature of literature, and feminist and proponents of research from different perspectives have arrived at the conclusion that feminine and masculine literatures are different. In order to find the answer to the question “does gender affect literature”, we examined and analyzed the subject with different biological, psychological, sociological, linguistics, and literary approaches, so that different aspects of feminine and masculine literary differences can be demonstrated. A literary work is the product of mentality, language, and the impact of gender on it firstly depends on two main factors. On the one hand, the intrinsic female and male differences, as the most primitive factors, impact creating mental, behavioral, intellectual, and linguistic differences in literature, and on the other hand, the gender differences in social and cultural construct, which have caused prejudice, inequality, and domination of men over women. A collection of these differences has led to creation of different mental world, worldview, experience, thought, vision, language and writing of women and men, and has revealed reflection of differences in literary works at some levels of linguistics, style, context, theme, and different type of expression.

Women’s employment is one of the most important issues which are related to their social status. Attention of policy makers, administrators, legislators and elites also illustrate the importance of the quality and quantity of women’s employment. By conducting a keyword search on "women ad employment" in different data bases including Iran Doc, Normags, and National Library, several studies including 8 thesis, 87 books, 132 scientific articles and 13 research reports have been found and all required data is collected since 1357 onwards. Meta-analysis method is selected to bring to light the hidden aspects of women's employment. Data analysis revealed that quantitative and descriptive approach prevails in the most of studies and minor attention is paid toward the role of women’s employment in development. It is probable to say that the trend of women’s employment has not been studied profoundly and no deep attention is paid to the quality of employment. The barriers of women’s employment have been also studied mostly at micro levels. In fact, it is possible to conclude that the most of the studies carried out in Iran are affected by fixed and established approaches and for this reason, they could not address or explain the structural changes in women's employment.

Nowadays, because of the special and pivotal place of women in the family and nurturing future generations; problems and issues related to women has become one of the main concerns of thinkers and intellectuals. Jalal Al-e-Ahmad (1302-1348 AHS) and Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti (1876-1924 AD) are two of the social reformers and contemporary writers in the field of Persian and Arabic literature. Each of them has presented women issues and criticized its different aspects as the conditions of their own society and the specific viewpoint that they had toward social and cultural problems. The present study which has compared the works of these two writers with a descriptive-analytic method indicate the presence of many similarities in their approach to women issues which can be studied in six general areas including west oxification, freedom, social injustices, hijab, marriage, and science learning and while being similar in concepts they are presented in somewhat different writing styles when appropriate.
