A Discourse Reading of Sexual Disputes in Iran

The policy area of sexuality in Iran is the site of theoretical conflict between two major approaches. The present article seeks to present a discursive formulation of the theoretical conflicts between these two approaches in Iranian society. In this study, the discourse analysis method of Falkluff and Laclau and Moff is used in combination. The results of the research indicated that the first approach, based on religious principles, follows the idea of sexual education with the focus on sexual ethics and includes concepts such as sexual identity, easy and timely marriage, hijab and restraint, etc. Sex builds Iranian society and studies sexuality in a network of biological and cultural elements, in which sometimes exposure to sex is not only eliminating ambiguity but even adding to it. The second approach emphasizes the need for sexual education with a gender-based knowledge and awareness of the international community's liberal literature, and points out concepts such as homosexuality and homosexuality, respect for the rights of sexual minorities, The distinction between sex and gender constitutes the denial of child marriage and so on. The most important strategy of this discourse in dealing with sex is to explicitly disambiguate sex. The later public domain of the two approaches was the UN 2030 document.
