    Cultural diplomacy is today a major topic in public diplomacy. A survey of culture definitions, cultural diplomacy, and the latter's role in countries such as America, China, Japan, and Britain can contribute to a better understanding of this sensitive issue. This is an arena from which the Islamic Republic of Iran can surely derive substantial benefit, hence the necessity of its adequate knowledge of other countrie's achievements to be used in its policies. Utilizing cultural tools helps winning the hearts of nations and build up sustained cooperation in international systems. Therefore, cultural diplomacy may extend beyond mere cultural objectives and reach other aims that have political, security and even military nature.

    The feminist-social movement was formed in the west in recent centuries to tackle female issues. It then underwent various but contrasting inclinations. Due to the significant role of the media in creating and removing cultural problems for women, feminists have presented different views in this regard. However, with a quick review of some feminist views concerning the family, popular culture, pornography, the mass media, etc. besides the current status of women in the media, it seems they are lacking in a bright record or remarkable success in providing the media content and entering successfully the media organization; and despite some effective views, their missing an accurate consideration of women's major issues mingled with excessive and contrasting stance towards them, have added to the unfavorable situation women are experiencing in the media.

    Discourse analysis is possible only when a work is read by focusing on its own texture (time, place, speaking subject, and enunciatee). Majid Majidi's movie the Children of Heaven is an artistic piece with lasting impression. Its script potential and semantic system enables the enunciatee to have multiple readings based on intra-textual relationships. He can then relate the text with its texture to achieve maximum meaning. By this connection, he can have a discourse analysis or reading of the text. We assume that Majidi's work is a well-integrated narrative yielding to a unique signification. The reason for this is rooted in a different outlook of the characters involved in the story. The director has beautifully managed to depict two distinct social classes in the dominant cultural condition of Iran (focusing on the metropolis) in regard to their share of social capitals, namely wealth, power, and education, to the extent that the enunciatee can obtain maximum meaning if conducting a discourse reading. The researcher's objective, while attempting to have a dynamic discourse reading, is, therefore, to answer this question, "How are the two poles of wealth and poverty and, consequently, the cause of their approach, been depicted in the movie?"

    Quality studies hardly yield to abstraction because the researcher is not to prescribe or even claim a comprehensive definition of a fact, but rather he intends to discover new approaches for understanding the other. This short anthropological study rises from the researcher's presence in one of Qom's public squares during the fasting month of Ramadan to illustrate the amount of identity and relationship involved in such places as this, focusing on the fact that the motorists are deprived of understanding a major portion of what is produced there. This square changes face during 24 hours while accepting large population, mixing dynamism, collective work, worshipping and entertainment; and though at times it manifests the tragic characteristics of modern cities, it has provided an intercultural environment for empathetic links. The relation between foreignness and work and amusement and mosque, methods of creating links, the importance of insignificant issues, and the relation between culture and nature make a part of the titles of the research. This may, however, bring an implicit piece of advice for those who assume the role of policy-making for themselves, which is recognizing the fact that they cannot judge others, whether they are laborers, worshippers or youngsters, as long as they themselves have not experienced their types of living. Their policies, therefore, could be taken as superficial and one-sided. The more some life experience lasts and happens within a more limited scope, the more it will benefit from additional layers and reveal further dimensions, hence increasing the significance of the seemingly unimportant issues.

    BBC television has managed to attract a large satellite TV audience by relying on its financial backing and advanced equipment. Some remarkable number of its programs is dedicated to Islamic issues which trigger Islamophobia and Iranophobia. Using framework method, this study has concentrated on the program Compass which can shed light on the broadcaster's manner of representing Islam. The sampling consists of 15 programs dealing with Islam selected in a non-probable and targeted manner. To achieve the research objectives, a theoretical framework has been adopted that consists of orientalism, framework-making, representation, highlighting, Islamophobia, and Iranophobia. The results show that the BBC has differentiated between Islam and political Islam, and has represented the latter as linked to violence so that in case of its gaining power, it will become dictatorial. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its revolution have been given a gloomy and distorted picture. Mahdaviat (Expecting the Savior) is considered to be an apolitical theory which has been the offspring of some Islamic scholars and not rooted in Islamic doctrine. The future of religious institution of jurisprudential authority has been questioned and women's rights have been considered on the basis of western criteria. Furthermore, in the light of Islamophobia, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been under extensive charges and attacks.

    With the expansion of the cinema media and its gaining large audience, religion has undoubtedly occupied a significant place as an important dimension of human life. Because of the farreaching impact of this art on the insight, inclination, and behaviors of its audience, a pathological analysis of the way it shows religion within the framework of religious behaviors becomes necessary. This is what this research is seeking in the movie the Broken-Heart. To do this we have employed a narrative discourse analysis. Connecting the text with Iranian texture has signified that despite the existence of two distinct Iranian groups, i.e. those who favor and those who complain against the political system, we can maintain that all Iranians with various opinions and inclinations are religious and interested in the Prophet's Household. Hence, the article's opening conducts a dynamic discourse analysis of the movie in order to find an answer to this question: How this faith-based cultural continuum, despite diversity of ideas, has been depicted by the movie? The second step is to reveal the surface and hidden layer of the movie (resulted from discourse analysis) to achieve a pathological study of picturing religion within religious behaviors.

    All media texts are to some extent representations of the reality. They are intentionally and consciously produced, censored, corrected, and propagated by their authors. Each representation is the translation or an artificial form of reality which exists in the scope of our understanding. Media representation significance relies on the fact that it shapes our understanding of the world around, and we need these media texts, that act as intermediaries, for shaping our feelings and consciousness. One of the scholars who methodically and by using linguistic and discourse theories, managed to play an important role in decoding media texts is Stuart Hall. He reached a discourse reading of media texts by adopting a structuralist view derived from the school of cultural studies, and clarified the proportion of these texts to their social representations to a large degree.

    This is a descriptive- analytical approach to the appearance of communication sciences which comprises and explains the present historical situation. According to Latin America's communication theorists, communication sciences were inclined to two directions. The first is what caused functionalist- structuralist processes through mediation, a fact which was dictated by North American and European hegemony. It is an aggressive and threatening condition derived from semiotics, cultural imperialism, and dependence. But after the fall, Latin America continent, through technological tools, gets distant from its own codes, feelings, and personal knowledge, which has led to frustration. It establishes codes and models that consider the individual as receivers and as an active and critical agent.
