In sociological analysis, Consumer activities are the source of modern identity structure and reference to values and attitudes. Accordingly, The concept of "cultural consumption" is a powerful tool for analyzing patterns and defining the boundaries of similarity and differentiation between different social groups.This paper tries to provide a comprehensive operational definition for the concept of cultural consumption and identifies the dominant patterns of consumption of the younger generation. This study was performed using a survey method and completed 531 questionnaires from youth (15 to 30 years). In this study, cultural consumption patterns were measured in two parts: consumption of products produced in the cultural system and participation in activities defined in the cultural system. The results of the study showed that the consumption of modern cultural products is the dominant pattern of youth consumption. The consumption of written cultural products and participation in cultural entertainment activities complement the dominant pattern of youth consumption culture. The results of the research also highlight the need to avoid reducing the pattern of youth consumption to a particular species, in other words, the necessity of the typology of patterns of consumption. Based on the typology, three ideal types (pattern) were identified for the cultural consumption of the younger generation.

This paper aims to clarify the relationships between religion, consumption and everyday life. In doing so and relying on new social science theories and key relevant scholars we have identified the interconnections between these concepts and have evaluated their importance in contemporary world from different points of views. Drawing on a plural and multidimensional approach, the joint cause and preoccupation of religion and consumption to create a meaningful life has been discussed. we suggest that the modern life subject has been rather represented as an entity capable of constructing this/her own identity. Religion and consumption as manifested in the forms of religiosity and consumerism forces seek to enjoy the exclusive rights to interpret and make meaning of everyday life and thereby to provide identity for a metropolitan subject. The paper ends reviewing plural, complex and ambiguous and irreducible dimensions of the relationship religion and consumption pose in everyday urban life.

The term “Politics of the Subject” coined by Robert Fraisse and theorized by Alain Touraine denotes some transformations in cognitive or paradigm episteme and gives birth to a new representation of the political. Mentioned transformation is an outcome of new stage of modernity that is late modernity, central attribute of which is “reflexivity” and its central conflict is “recognition”. In today’s world, individualization in experiencing is associated with a new articulation of “society” which has transmuted the deepest layers of public life. Moreover, in the middle layer i.e. in the civil society social movements are being cultural in their nature and their appearance come along with the claims of cultural rights and emphasis on self-identity and self-assertion. At last and in the outer layer i.e. policy-making se see some transformations leading to the politics of subject. In this circumstance, the subject comes to the heart of politics and the “emancipatory politics” gives way to “life politics”. Also the phenomenon of globalization has mandated new understanding of modernity and necessitated the transition to politics of the subject. At the end, Iran situation in this global transition has been delineated and its fundamentals have been explained.

This article is about how Iranian male’s emotion demonstrates through the process of the Iranian revolution of 1979. Sociology of emotions in conjunction with the paradigm of visual cultural studies makes possible the analysis of documentary photos of the revolution of 1979 with the focus on the males’ emotion in that period of time. For this, 200 documentary photos of the revolution were selected and reduced to 82 photos to analyze them. Studying the photos is based on visual thematic analysis that categorizes similar situations and makes analytic categories. As a result, revolutionary men from different political spectrums in an emotional link with each other made a revolutionary super-body on the contrary of the Shah’s army man. The encountering of the two camps of revolutionary men and Shah’s men resulted in emotional positions like violence, rebellion, love, hatred.

From the time of Nasser al-Din Shah onwards, we have witnessed the emergence of the discourse of nationalism and the definition of national identity based on the components of "perennialism" in Iran. One hundred years of experience show that such a definition of national identity has been detrimental to the realization of national unity and the protection of the rights of Iranians. On the other hand, today there is no single definition of national identity among thinkers and elites and serious discussions are underway in this regard. At the same time, the preservation of Iran requires a nationalism based on the sovereignty of the nation, the satisfaction and security of the rights and interests of all members of the nation. Accordingly, it is necessary to re-read and critique the definition of national identity based on the components of "perennialism". In the meantime, despite the fact that Habal al-Matin has promoted the relationship between the state and the nation in the modern sense, it defines national identity based on the components of "perennialism". The question of the present article is that according to the "modernist paradigm of nationalism", what is the critique of the national identity defined by this publication? Findings show that the definition of Iranian identity and national identity is based on the ethnic-cultural definition of the nation and has no relation with the modern nation.
