The Semiology of Women victim's Image in Iranian Films

Female victimization as one of the most important issues in the field of forensic science studies has been considered in Iranian films. Given the role of the media in shaping public opinion, this study using qualitative semiology and emphasizing the Saussure's model seeks to capture the image of victimized women in "Mastaneh", "Lantouri", "Mali va rah haye narafteh ash" and the "maghzhaye kochak zang zade". Based on the semantic findings, the strong male / weak female stereotype is not fully represented in the representation of victimized women. In other words, the portrayal of victimized women in some films identifies them as effective social actors. However, the representation of crimes against women in the form of three crimes including acid spraying, rape and domestic violence shows it is a crime to commit acts of masculinity against women, and there is a direct relationship between the strengths / weaknesses of women and the severity of crime. There is a significant meaning that passive and weak women are victims of domestic violence and active and robust women are victims of crimes such as rape and acid spraying
