A Review and Analysis of the Islamic-Iranian Family Pattern in the Islamic Revolution Discourse

The discourse arguments concerning the political and cultural arenas in society exert effects on social institutions. Meanwhile, family, as the heart of lifestyle, is effected by discourse modeling. After the Islamic Revolution, the attention to the pattern of family to achieve an Islamic-Iranian lifestyle and reduce some of the social and cultural issues is considered necessary. Using discourse analysis theories based on discourse analysis (analytical-combinatorial model of Fairclough, Laclau, and Mouffe), the paper seeks to analyze the elements of Islamic-Iranian families as a product and an experimental efficiency of the Islamic Revolution discourse on three levels descriptive, interpretive and expressive. The results show that the pattern of Islamic-Iranian family is articulated on a number of concepts including justice-based, originality of individual and community, Islamic values and Iranian culture, and its distinctive features are Islam and Iranian culture. Besides, this pattern corresponds with the identity of Iran's society.
