Recognition and examine of two realist narratives for the explanation of the social movement

The social movement is an example of a Effective collective action. The question is, under what conditions, Effective collective action will take place and how history will be transformed by humans. Looking at the sociologistschr('39') views on this, we find that different answers have been given to this single question. From individualist, collectivist, and relationship-authenticity theories to Combination ideas, all sought to answer this question. In general, the combined ideas Compared with individualistic, collectivist, and relationship-authenticity ideas have had more success in explaining the social movement. One of the logic created by the combined approach is the dialectical logic, also explanatory-comprehension logic, and realistic logic. This paper, while briefly referring to dialectical logic and explanatory-comprehension logic, has undertaken the description of the realist logic in explaining the social movement. Since realist theorists also have fundamental differences in explaining the social movement, in spite of important shared meanings, it is necessary to measure each of them in a comparative way. Two prominent narratives in the realistic explanation of effective collective action are the theory of personality- collective –relationship authenticity of Zahed Zahedani and Actor-Network Theory Bruno Latour.The author for examine of the two narratives of the social movement, the Islamic revolution of Iran, as a case study, scale for the comparison of these two theories. The result of this paper is the relative advantage of each of these two realist narratives. The theory of individuality- collective –relationship authenticity, to explain the moment of occurrence (present time), has a comparative advantage to one movement, while the actor-network theory can be used to explain the past and future of a social movement.
