Along with the developments leading to Constitutional Era, other social developments were emerging, which played a significant role in public awareness and liberation. This process which significantly formed in the area of critical literature in the form of humor and in the realm of press and literature, provided for the enlightenment of graduates` thoughts, intellectuals, carriers and agents of change, and in the final analysis, the general public. With regard to this and considering the profound impact of critical literature, especially humor, in expressing social reality in the language of humor, in this article we attempt to answer the following question: What was the effect of critical literature, especially humor, on the awareness of the public and the ruling elites regarding Iranian backwardness and the formation of Constitutional Revolution? Our hypothesis in the present study is that critical literature, especially in Constitutional Era, with its metaphorical and aesthetic features as well as its elegance has managed to deal with the deepest and most serious problems of the society, and has had a significant impact on public awareness.
As regards method, this is a descriptive – analytical research in which we used some Quentin – Skinner`s interpretive tools titled as “Illocutionary Hermeneutics” based on which the researcher tries to find out the intention of the author or writer of humor from what has been said.

So far, there have been various divisions of humor, but the discussion of the role of satirical conceptual tendencies in the political press has not received much attention from researchers. Conceptual tendencies of humor are the concepts through which a message is presented to the audience in the form of four political, economic, social, and cultural approaches. The questions of this research are, “What is the theme of satirical concepts in the political press of the second Pahlavi period?” and “How does humor relate to historical, political, and social currents?” This study seeks, with a theoretical perspective on discourse analysis and using Norman Fairclough’s method, to show how pre-revolutionary press humor concepts challenge the dominant discourse of power in the second Pahlavi period by representing political and social discontent.

The purpose of this research is the analysis of the carnivalesque in folk culture and the study of the possibility of resistance against predominate-monophonic political power. Predominate paradigm in the thinking area of new age introduces language as a new instrument of world-understanding and takes the language positional and a result of its social context. Voices indicate different interests, profits and ideologies and thus language is known as the area of social-political litigations. According to Bakhtin's opinion, there are two discourses in every society: serious and informal (humour). The first one mostly denotes governorship and power state that is interpreted stern and silent. The second discourse expresses usual life, language and folk literature and popular festivals. Bakhtin interprets carnivals or festivals of humour as the best position of manifestation and formation of resistance and realizing the polyphony and thus democracy. In this research, we had an inquiry to find and analyze the components of carnavality like as polyphony in order to the assessment of the formation of resistance in utterance based on sociological description. According to Bakhtin, there is an obligatory relationship between the emergence of polyphony in autocratic situation and irony in utterance. This research assumes that this relationship is necessary for possibility of resistance in utterance.
