The issue of immigration has become one of the most important topics for sociological critics and commentators, in which art and artists play a very important and sensitive position in the formation of concepts and values. This article tries to draw critical attention to the concept of diasporic aesthetics and answer the question why the strategy of "belonging" is important in different cultural and geographical borders. For this purpose, based on the hypothesis that artistic photography is a social act and has the potential to create solidarity relations with other immigrant groups, by analyzing the works of Prosto Foroharmand, the artist argued that this social activity, in addition to being able to provide mental and objective communication about the homeland As one of the diaspora formations among immigrants, in terms of creativity in aesthetics, it has the ability to influence non-immigrant and native groups and play a major role in their perspective in the long term. In the end, it will reach the conclusion that diasporic groups have a similar aesthetic, that the art of photography with the subject of migration and narration can produce a suitable platform with creative cultural differences and boundaries, which on the one hand creates a common feeling and nostalgia that It is competitive and beyond national and ethnic identities, and on the other hand, it provides opportunities for transcultural critical interaction and dealing with post-immigration societies.

Criticism based on psychological analysis is a relatively new science that can be used to study the epistemology and ontology of the works and thoughts of Persian language poets. In this research, the researcher aims to analyze the military figure using the psychological analytical approach of the shadow. This research is descriptive-analytical research. The statistical population of the research is the story of seven military figures, which is analyzed according to Jung's shadow theory. The shadow has appeared in the military figure with traits such as credulity, greed, lust and desire for extramarital relations with women, pride and arrogance. Nizami explains the way to get rid of these bad qualities (shadow) in thinking and conversation and honesty (the second story), piety and humility (the story of Beshr and Malikha), acquiring knowledge and knowledge (the story of Lady Hesari), purity and good intentions and repentance (The story of Mahan and Divan), cleanness (the story of good and evil) and the acceptance of error and repentance (the seventh story) are introduced. All the heroes of the seven stories were honest people, trustworthy and pure in appearance. But in the vicissitudes of life, their feet slipped and they were caught in calamities. Nizami in this system by showing the possibility of mistakes and tremors for all people, even people with positive human characteristics, shows that in the end, due to the good nature they have, these people have overcome their shadow and overcome their mistakes. and the calamity in which they were caught, they will save you.

The specificity of cinema in the classical era was the subject of various fields of knowledge and thinkers of formalism and realism, such as Montsberg, Arnheim, Lukacs, Stam, Krakouer, Carroll, Bazen, Burch and Wollen, and different opinions in this field can be identified. Moreover, contemporary cinema has been influenced by digitalism, and has changed a lot in terms of technology and thought, and differs in many ways from the special cinema of the classical period. The current research has examined the changes in the methods of expression of cinema in the digital age with a fundamental aim. The main issue of the research is to analyse the impact of digitalism on cinema and to reveal the process that has led to the specialty of cinema taking a leap in the current era. This research method is qualitative and data-based. In order to achieve a basic theory based on the targeted selection of 50 books and 50 academic articles from national and international databases, works of experimental cinema and 22 films from the years 2000 to 2022 from American narrative cinema, which have received the most Oscar awards, reviewed and evaluated. The result shows that the aspects of self-image/self-image, synthesis/becoming, domestic/domestic approach, reconstruction or re-creation, reality constructionism, interaction and empathic action are central to Moore's particular attention to cinema in the digital age.

Cross-dressing has become a filmmaking strategy for the representation of women. The increasing trend of the use of cross-dressing in Iranian cinema has raised the question of what is the purpose of cross-dressing in Iranian cinema and how is it represented. To achieve this goal, by adapting theories in the field of women's studies and representation, the method of narrative analysis has been used and 18 films which were made in Iran's post-revolutionary cinema between 1978 and 2022 have been selected by purposeful sampling. The findings show that, unlike the optimism of previous researches which have considered this characterization as a deficiency of the ruling discourse, the female character is represented in two ways: a gentle woman and a coquettish one. With the way they walk, use hand gestures, sweet laughs, and repeatedly touch their face and make-up, these women exaggerate flirtatiousness to achieve their deceptive goals. Men's incentive for cross-dressing compromise hiding their identity for escaping from trouble, provoking other men, revenge, utilitarianism, and deviance. Cinematic arrangements also reduce these women to a sexual objects. Films turn to cross-dressing to arouse the emotions of the audience to escape the family and social reality. Finally, this representation has led to the reproduction of gender stereotypes in the Iranian society, i.e. the duality of modern-traditional women.

Many cinematic works in the world revolve around a central character. It can be claimed that the common feature of these works leads to an archetype that Joseph Campbell used as the basis of his theory, which makes it easy to understand all their hidden meanings. The hero's archetype appears in most works as a man, while the hero can also be a woman. Due to the limited presence of female heroes in cinematic works, this study intends to investigate female heroes' presence based on the film "La Femme Nikita." The research is about to answer these questions: "What is the pattern that shapes the story of the hero in the movie" La Femme Nikita"? What is the hidden meaning of this work and how it is formed despite its structural similarity with other works of the hero How is the axis done? ". In this way, the article toakes a descriptive and analytical method and, based on the analysis of information collected from constructive comparative mythology, concluded that the pattern shaping the story of the hero in the film " La Femme Nikita" is the same explanatory pattern of Campbell. However, certain details are different due to the change in the hero's gender. This work's hidden meaning is derived from the dual confrontation of nature/culture, animus/anima, love/violence, forgiveness/justice, and the confrontation and conflict with the West's patriarchal culture.

The play "Jafar Khan az Farang Amadeh" written by Hassan Moghadam is one of the most important and influential plays of its own historical period. The present paper intends to investigate the process of meaning-construction in this text through focusing on socio-cultural variables and by using socio- semiotic appraoch and the theory of Guiraud. Tho main questions that the research seeks to answer are: 1. what are the most obvious social signs that can be discovered and explained in this play? and 2. What are the semantic implications of these social signs? The results indicate that the most obvious signs related to identity are names, nicknames, clothes, objects, and animals. The author has shown Jafar Khan's confrontation with his family members who are influenced by the collectivism of traditional society while highlighting his individuality by using these signs. The most obvious signs of social etiquette are the tone of speech, the distance between people, and insults. The endless efforts of the family members to be close to Jafar Khan and his resistance to keeping a distance from them are evident in these three signs of social etiquette. It can be concluded that the social signs of this play significantly contribute to shaping the semantic framework of the work, depicting traditional and modern human attitudes and life.

Blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are increasingly significant in the charitable sector, offering innovative solutions to enhance transparency, accountability, and global engagement. This study examines the implementation and impact of these technologies in a case study of an Iranian startup, Introspection. Utilizing a combination of content analysis and interviews, the research delves into the opportunities and challenges presented by blockchain and NFTs in philanthropy, especially under the constraints of international sanctions and the fluctuating cryptocurrency market. The findings illustrate that blockchain and NFTs play a crucial role in generating new markets and enhancing operational transparency. These technologies enable charities to establish stronger connections with supporters and broaden their impact. Significantly, blockchain technology assists charities in expanding their scope from local communities to a global platform, facilitating a move towards decentralized and autonomous operations. This shift has the potential to reshape the charitable landscape, encouraging innovation and adaptation. The study concludes that the integration of blockchain and NFTs is essential for the advancement of the charitable sector. It calls for ongoing research to effectively address the challenges and leverage the opportunities these technologies present. This research contributes to a growing body of knowledge on digital innovation in philanthropy and its potential to transform traditional charitable practices.

Since new media, such as the Internet, enable interaction, participation, and simultaneous presence in multiple locations, the New Art can be studied sociologically as small samples of society. This article discusses two examples of interactive art: "emotional traffic" and "01," in which the internet plays an important role. Simmel's formal sociological theory is applied to qualitative content analysis. This study examines how virtual spaces created through technology correspond to social ideas in real life. To test this hypothesis, the qualitative content analysis findings will be compared with Simmel's theories. A virtual space is assessed through the concepts of distance, stranger, wanderer, self-expression, and maintaining one's self. Virtual spaces have different characteristics from traditional societies as well as a connection to the real world. Through analyzing the artworks' process, it was possible to extract the commonalities and differences between the two spaces. Using the Internet as a medium helps the concept of "distance" and incompatibility with proximity and presence. Even though these interactions do not align with Simmel's concepts, it might be possible to reach the opposite of his interpretations while maintaining the interaction. By using technology, Simmel's concept of "stranger" approaches the concept of "wanderer" with fewer degrees of strangeness. Due to the control of the artist, presence in virtual space resembles "stranger", but due to freedom of movement, physical presence resembles "wanderer". It is also seen according to Simmel's theory, that the complexity and quality of interactions are changed by increasing the number of participants.

The present article seeks to compare the discourse of music during the Constitutional period with the 1979 revolution. In the Constitutional period, the ballads of Aref Qazvini and then Mohammad Taqi Bahar (late Qajar and early Pahlavi period) have been selected as examples; Aref is the most famous composer of this period, whose works have remained in the social and musical history of Iran. "Chavush Music Center" has also been chosen as an example for the ballads of the 1979 revolution; This center is the most famous and also the most coherent music group that has created its revolutionary works based on Iranian musical instruments. The social differences of the two periods have also produced different content; Therefore, the poems of the constitutional period have less of an epic mood and are more sad narrating the social situation. Poems during the 1979 revolution, especially the ballads composed by the Chavoush Center, were mostly epic in nature, and they were meant to excite the society. This situation can also be seen in terms of form; The music of the79th revolution period is march-like and exciting and generally "martial" in contrast to the constitutional music which is sad and glorious, and both of these show the social status and social discourse of each period.

Aesthetic architectural reading refers to the interpretation and analysis of an architectural work or architectural concepts. This process involves understanding and interpreting the multiple elements of architecture such as form, space, material, light, and structure. Architectural reading is not limited to describing and interpreting the physical characteristics of structures and buildings; it also encompasses an understanding of their role in social, cultural, historical processes, and even their relationship with the natural environment. Contemporary architecture based on object-oriented ontology pays special attention to the human experience of the environment and space. In this approach, environments and structures are considered as central objects in architecture and have a profound impact on human experience and behavior. Contemporary architects strive to design environments and structures in a way that influences human interaction with them and enhances the architectural experience. In this approach, architecture is introduced as a means to create sustainable interaction between humans and the environment. The importance of this perspective lies in making the relationship between humans and the environment more experiential and emotional in architecture. Environments are designed in a way that allows humans to establish a close connection with them, and in interactive environments, they can experience engaging and unique experiences.
