In recent decades, Iran has been considered one of the leading countries in terms of emigration. Iranian migration can be categorized into three waves, corresponding to three time periods. A) The years 1950-1979, during which most migrations were for higher education with the intention of returning to Iran. B) The years 1979-1995, when most migrations were forced due to revolution and war. C) The years 1995 to the present, where the majority of migrations are for economic reasons, aimed at achieving stability and a better life, without the intention of returning to the country. The aim of this research is to examine the memories and feelings of nostalgia among Iranian migrants during these three time periods. To this end, theories of collective memory and nostalgia were used to analyze the findings. This is a qualitative study, and the data were obtained through in-depth virtual interviews (via Skype and WhatsApp). In this study, interviews were conducted with 11 migrants residing in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The results indicate that memories and nostalgias in the first group primarily revolve around childhood memories, in the second group focus on political activities, and in the third group center on economic, social, and cultural issues. Memories from the first and second groups are more closely associated with feelings of nostalgia, and the sense of nostalgia in all three periods is more pronounced among the male interviewees than the female ones.

Floods are one of the natural disasters. Our understanding of floods as a catastrophe is a constructivism - interpretive. We will try to identify the flood narrative in the lived experience of the flood victims. The main question of the research is: how do the people of Poledokhtar city narrate the flood disaster? To answer this question in the tradition of qualitative research in the framework of the method of narrative analysis and qualitative interviews with eighteen samples, we have collected information and analyzed it. The results of this study show that the understanding of flood victims is in the context of technocratic shortcomings and inefficiencies, as well as under the religious paradigm as divine punishment and atonement for sins. The flood disrupts the supposed order of the communities and distorts the dignity of the flood victims and creates events such as displacement, humiliation and discrimination for them. The flood disaster has also created a dialectic of cooperation and division that is changing the social order. The flood victims' account of the post-flood situation also suggests that these situations create a kind of local and public dissatisfaction that can politicize the risk of floods and fluctuate social capital. Also in the catastrophic continuum, the vulnerability of flood victims has two cultural and material aspects that are manifested in experiences such as lack and need. Social resilience and dealing with disaster is also achieved by resorting to meaningful religious systems and the idea of self-salvation despite the death of other and the experience of loss.

The present study intends to read Farhad Pirbal's collection of short stories, Potato Eaters (2000), based on the theory of narrative therapy. Narrative therapy as an interdisciplinary field, founded by Michael White (1988-1988), uses psychological and sociological findings in the treatment of traumatic events on the one hand, and narrative techniques and storytelling on the other to help the patient with the adverse psychological effects of past traumatic events. Based on this outlook, analyzing the character-narrators of Pirbal in this collection of stories, this study attempts to examine personal trauma in the contexts of family, ethnicity, and more extended contexts because a person's pain and concern can be that of a larger group; the problem of a person can be that of a community. The stories of the Potato Eaters explore the traumatic past of the characters and the possibility of rewriting it in a different way to eliminate its effects. This study shows that the narrators of Pirbal, as representatives and survivors of the Iraqi Kurds during the tense period that led to the chemical bombing and genocide of them known as Anfal, by Saddam Hussein, recount and re-story the traumatic events of those times in order to alleviate those wounds. They hope to be able to have peace by rewriting their stories in a different way. Although some of them do not succeed, the fact is the character-narrators attempt to do this.

Taking photographs seems no longer primarily an act of memory intendedto safeguard a family’s pictorial heritage, but is increasingly becoming atool for an individual’s identity formation and communication. Digitalcameras, cameraphones, photoblogs and other multipurpose devices areused to promote the use of images as the preferred idiom of a newgeneration of users. The aim of this article is to explore how technicalchanges (digitization) combined with growing insights in cognitive scienceand socio-cultural transformations have affected personal photography.The increased manipulation of photographic images may suit the individual’sneed for continuous self-remodelling and instant communication andbonding. However, that same manipulability may also lessen our grip on ourimages’ future repurposing and reframing. Memory is not eradicated fromdigital multipurpose tools. Instead, the function of memory reappears in thenetworked, distributed nature of digital photographs, as most images aresent over the internet and stored in virtual space.

Oral History is one of the most democratic qualitative research method in the humanities and social sciences in which narrators retell realities; oral history is a deep dialog between two persons in that their memories are recorded in the format of narrations. Memories and remembering of the memories (why and how) are the most important aspect of implementing of oral history. In this article, we investigate the method of oral history to demonstrate how to apply oral history in the reflection of collective trauma. Collective trauma is a collective psychological damage that makes people feel loss in the case of natural and unnatural events such as earthquake and war, which brings them painful and grieving memories that survive for many years. These people are the most important subjects of oral history. Hence, referring to the works of Svetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich, the winner of the Noble prize in literature in 2015, that are translated and published in Persian, we demonstrate concretely how to apply this method in the reflection of various kinds of collective trauma.

Residents of south feel sense of deprivation, exclusion and inequality. Interviewees miss their human relationship like neighbors, so they feel loneliness. Totally, elements of city image of residents show alienated sense of place in Tehran.
