A Phenomenological Study of the Evolution of Relations Between Generations in the Varzajang Phenomenon

The bloody play of Varzajang has been common in some regions of Iran and Gilan. It consists of fighting two bulls. Over the past few decades, this play underwent tremendous changes with the transformation of social structures; although apparently, its main core of “Two bulls fighting” remains. Considering that the whole world life of a part of the people of the north of the country in different generations has been so full of natural views on this phenomenon that it is repeated and expanded under the title of preserving the local game, The necessity of defending the tradition insists, this research using the phenomenological method considered by Titchen and Hobson (focusing on the direct approach) and inspired by Mannheim’s theory about generational relations, It has examined the form and content evolution of this phenomenon in different generations. For this purpose, he used the “focus group” data collection method and Moustakas’ phenomenological analysis strategy. The main question is, different generations of people in the north, especially Gilan, what are they experiencing during the ceremony? And in its historical development, what changes has this ceremony created in relations between generations? The result of this research is that the differences between generations have brought changes based on the historical events in space and time around Varzajang, And it has caused its development in social, political, and economic issues (such as phenomena such as celebrations, shows, kings, and gambling).
