Theoretical Framework in Interdisciplinary Studies; Case Study: Theoretical application of Political Thought in Cinematic Studies

In order to make the combination of different approaches in different disciplines possible، interdisciplinary studies need to be founded on a clear theoretical framework in which explorer’s mistake could be decreased. Thus، it is necessary to apply theoretical framework of the original discipline within the explorations in the other’s studies. This might lead the explorer towards an interdisciplinary conception of the subject. Investigating political thought in cinematic studies، the present study attempts to evaluate such hypothesis. Thus، based on Spragens’ Theoretical framework in formulating political thought، the cinematic works are analyzed beyond their aesthetic features، and so، the directors are studied as the narrators of political thought in visual mode.
