History is a great treasure of nations' lives in the course of time. Nations try to, through keeping and transferring historical knowledge to the next generations, protect their own identities. The non-objective nature of history as well as temporal interruption between the past and the present, because of which historical events cannot be experienced by the present generation, make this difficult. In the modern educational systems, teaching history is not aimed to remembering a host of names, but to strengthening one's power of analyzing historical events and studying their consequences for the contemporary lives of human societies. Thus, scholars have focused to find better ways to teach history and make a pathological study of the present methods of teaching history as one of the most important fields of humanities. One of the issues, emphasized in the modern education, is employment of various kinds of media to assist students to understand academic topics in a better way. In Iran, in teaching history, to this point has not been unfortunately paid so attention. Film is among instruments which are able to provide information and reconstruct the past in the audience's mind. Among various kinds of film, documentaries, since they are relied upon facts and authentic resources, are among the best tools to teach history and represent the past events to the audience. Based on the theories popular in two fields of documentaries and modern education, the present article tries to recognize the place and importance of documentaries in teaching history. The present article is aimed to make an interdisciplinary study in two fields of history and arts, and puts emphasis on the point that making uses of movies produced on the basis of facts requires professors and tutors to find a primary knowledge of kinds of documentaries and their educational functions for social and political history of various countries.

Examining the process of trust in the media, this article seeks to know what factors increase the media credibility for audience and leads to his/her trust in it. In the research, using a qualitative method, we interviewed many communication and media experts. Part of the results of this study shows that news-function is the most important function of media which creates credibility and increases the audience's trust. If the media acts as the true mediator between the facts and the people, it will be trusted by audiences. Also, if the media constructs its message in a community-accepted form, the audience will accept and validate it. In the context of trust in the media, it is also necessary to observe the following components: avoiding one-way interpretations, addressing events from different angles, moving away from exaggeration and contradiction, avoiding ambiguous reflection of issues, avoiding distortion and censorship. The results also indicate that the more audiences are pleased with the media, the more time they spend paying attention to its news over the weekend

Place is not essentially a specific point on the Earth, it is a position in which human values and mental images form. Nowadays, increasing usage of virtual space and transforming human actions and social interactions from real world to virtual one show the increase of time spent in cybernetic world. This study compares the concept of physical and virtual places. It also aims to investigate capability of the conversion of virtual space to virtual place and the possibility of existing sense of place in it. In this regard, after addressing the concepts of place, virtual space and the possibility of transforming cyberspace to cyberplace, perception of place and it’s compatibility with virtual place is reviewed. Succeeding, the phenomenon of sense of place, its levels and then the probability of experiencing them in virtual world is studied. Lastly, after perusal of sense of place components, the comparative comparison between real and virtual sense of place will be cited. Finally, it is concluded that although virtual spaces have the capability of becoming a place, the sense of place cannot be experienced completely in it.

The aim of this research is to investigate the phenomenon of Iranophobia in Hollywood’s productions. The study of Hollywood cinematic films associated with Iran suggests that Iran has been portrayed as ‘a subaltern other’ of the West in these films. In this regard, we investigated American films made about Iran since 1979 and their effects on the intensification of Iranophobia. Doing so we studied three films, ‘Argo’, ‘the Stoning of Soraya’ and ‘not Without My Daughter’, by qualitative content analysis method. To answer the question of ‘what has been the role of Hollywood in exacerbating Iranophobia after the revolution?’, an combination of the three theoretical perspectives of ‘representation’, ‘postcolonial studies’ and ‘Orientalism’ were also used for the basis of our analysis. The results confirm the research hypothesis. Constructing a negative image of the Islamic Republic, Hollywood has played a significant role in intensifying Iranophobia.

Conducted in the field of applied ethics,the present research deals with advertising in mediafrom the viewpoint of ethical utilitarianism. Manufacturing companies utilizeany,sometimes improper and unethical, tool or method to persuade their audience and advance their goals, namely to increase product sales, which, intentionally or unintentionally,exert adverse effects onpeople. Advertising has prospered with the advances in technology and increases insurplus consumer goods, and today, hardly anyone around the world is unfamiliar with the concept of advertisement.

This paper employs a descriptive-analytical methodto explore commercial advertising and its effects on the audience of mass media, and relying on one of the famous theories of normative ethics in moral philosophy, i.e. the ethical utilitarianism, it seeks to answer the following questions: Based on the theory of utilitarianism, what types of advertisements shall media officials allow to be broadcast? What is the ruling of utilitarians about resorting to any form of fraud and deception in advertising? According to utilitarianism, what are appropriate advertisement criteria? What kind of advertising is permitted or unpermitted?

The aim of the present article is to present the type of language being used in cyberspace. In addition, turn taking and turn giving strategies are analyzed. The data included Iranian Persian speaker users’ individual and group chats. The data for the present research was collected from Yahoo chartrooms, Face book and Telegram users. The reason behind choosing these networks is that they are used publically and extensively in Iran. Out results indicated that no specific structure or pre-set rules can be traced in the turn taking, managing and turn giving strategies used by the participants. In fact, users’ application of such strategies depends most on individual habits and typing skills while chatting.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors affecting the implementation of knowledge management in the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies (IHCS) with the focus on information and communication technologies in order to identify its strengths and weaknesses and to provide solutions to improve the organization's performance in this field. This paper is an applied research that carried on descriptive survey methodology, researcher-made questionnaire of knowledge management was used to collect data. The study population consisted of 219 staff of Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies who were selected by stratified random sampling and 135 people were selected through Morgan table. To answer the research questions one-sample t-test in SPSS was used. The findings shows that from the perspective of the IHCS members, most of the components of the knowledge management technology infrastructure are inferior to the knowledge management system in the research institute and in the creation, storage, sharing and use of knowledge, knowledge management software and idea system have the strongest relationship with the knowledge management process and there is a significant relationship between modern information technology and knowledge management components. The results showed that in applying knowledge management in the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies and also turning it into a knowledge-based organization, special attention should be paid to new information and communication technologies. At the end of the study, we have some suggestions and strategies for improving its weaknesses and promoting strengths in knowledge management technologies and have had a great positive impact on the future of the organization and its goals.

Leaving home for Jihad? Disguising dystopia & Selling it as utopia is what ISIS does with its recruits (especially young Europeans). By sticking to extreme ideological thoughts or claiming no ideology, this dystopia remains ruined forever. This article has been trying to answer some -easy yet difficult to imitate- questions: How is it possible to recruit a young educated Western Citizen to fight for an old outdated Eastern ideological battle? Who are the European youths willing to engage in radicalization? Why is this triangle (Sex, Violence, Religion) so favorite in times beyond compare? Is it only for the sake of Utilitarianism? What’s the percentage of The female jihadists of Europe and the male ones? What are the main Driving factors behind foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq? Fortunately, there are good pieces of puzzle here and there all around the world about this topic. European countries have been feeling the necessity to analyze not the terrorists but the ways they persuade recruits (by studying Intercultural conflict management, Intercultural moral judgement and so on.). The very Persuasion Process happens by using, misusing, disusing or abusing Mass Media. That’s why Media managers should be aware of the outcome more than others.

The present study investigates the role of virtual social networks in the formation of intercultural communication (in Iran). Through a library and documentary method and using note taking tools, this research investigates the significance and effects of these networks and the formation and changes of intercultural communication in this context. According to the background research and the theories that have been presented and the researches that have been carried out, it became clear that communication in cyberspace is not possible without the acceptance of cultures and the acceptance of cultures is not possible without considering customs, beliefs, and ultimately the emergence of a common culture. Intercultural communication in this space is usually headed to attract other cultures or, at least, facilitate influenceability from other cultures. These connections will certainly affect the relations of nations, political, economic and social issues and their development or regression. In the end, conclusions and suggestions were made

This research sheds light on networked publics’ activism on Persian Twitter. Networked publics is a phenomena to understand dynamics and practices of social media users. Based on this concept and networked framing theory, we investigated tweet types, tweet tones and the ways of framing characters (and tweet orientation toward them) by networked publics on Persian Twitter during Iran 2017 presidential election. We combined social network analysis, ethnographic content analysis and social media critical discourse study approach. First, we collected 2596284 tweets during the election period. Then, we focused on retweet (RT) network as the information diffusion network, and discovered networked publics by applying cluster analysis on this corpus. Afterwards, we identified 50 top influential users in each cluster based on their PageRanks. Finally, we collected all tweets of these users in the whole network and analyzed them. We used 3 coders to code the selected sample of 10416 tweets in 3 rounds. Results showed that commentary, quotation and news are the most frequent tweet types. Furthermore, Iranian users mostly tweeted using serious and sarcastic tones. Finally, our finding showed that Rouhani was the first name in framed characters.

In recent decades, coinciding with the emergence of new media communications such as satellites and internet, Christianity is faced with the new challenges of religious messages advertising. A fundamental change in the form of religion mediatization and a distance from traditional Christian symbols and concepts, in a area which media has provided, has led some Christian sects, such as the Evangelists, to assess their new conditions and predict the opportunities and threats that a new form of religious ceremonies and advertising that were welcomed by their audience. In this study a variety of Christian programs in terms of structure and form of message presentation is evaluated through content analysis of the broadcasts of the most famous Christian preachers on TV and satellite channels

We can recognize two distinguished mainstreams in the moral philosophy. The virtue Ethics and the deontological ethics. The former is conception that many scholars in moral philosophy call it as the clearest characteristic of the moral thought of classics. In fact moral philosophy for Plato and Aristotle and their followers in the middle ages namely for Islamic and Christian philosophers, should lead to virtuous life. While in the deontological ethics, after profound evolutions in the recent centuries, the foundation of ethical judgment is based on “duty” or “obligation”, the conception is itself grounded on the modern philosophy of right. Relying on original texts of virtue-oriented and deontologist philosophers, we attempt in this article to take the “priority” of deontological ethics over virtue ethics in the media sphere into consideration. This priority does not mean superiority, but it means that if we want predicate the media on virtue ethics, we firstly and necessarily needs to recognize priority of the deontological ethics over the virtue ethics.

Among the variant types of making TV programs, social documentary, because of its influence on education, culture promotion and addressing the issues related to audiences, is the codes that can be used as a tool to refer the messages of goodness and badness, and can be used to create an appropriate motivational audience. Since social document benefits from the existence of personality especially real personalities, when documentary maker uses personality, the personality must be selected in a way that refers to goodness and badness messages and creates a motive in audience than performing goodness and not to perform badness.Therefore, in the present research collection of data through semi-structured interview with experts, and data analysis - using content analysis methodology and statement-making – has been performed, and we have attained the most important factors influencing the selection of and narration of the character of social documentaries for the purpose of the proper performance of the process of “enjoining good and forbidding wrong” in the media, such as choosing an ordinary person with attributes like an evolved life, a comprehensible issue, ability to express themselves, and finally attractive looks and expression; choosing an eminent role model or a successful person close to the culture of the audience, and with low profile for answering the topic of movies, etc

This study examines the emergence of Iranian War Cinema and explores its key components. The main question of the research is if Sacred Defense films constituted a structure or not. The hypothesis of the research suggests that these movies go beyond sharing common thematic and narrative features, but they constitute a textual formation. The aim of this study is to concentrate on the Iranian fiction war movies in order to show and analyze some features which can help us to search structural concepts in these movies. The research method would be a descriptive-analysis method. To analyze the films, as a qualitative method, the methodology of this research would be textual analysis. The theoretical framework is structural approach. Through a critical and objective analysis of the films and reviewing the valid readings about the governmental discourse, the results show that Sacred Defense films have either a ritual or an ideological function and then constitute a structure.

Animation is nowadays known as a powerful medium and a very profitable source in every big country, and has been able to evolve through this past decade. In Iran the production of TV animation hasn’t been able to establish itself as on Industry. The aim of this research was to express the industrial problems in the production of TV animation and to provide a good solution for the problems. In this article the weak points of production economy of TV animation in our country has been expressed through Interviews with the cast and crew of different projects in this area. The effect of the governmental system of production and the domination of production led by the national TV has been looked at. Different production stages of two different Animation series (both very popular) of “the simpsons” and “shekarestan” have been compared together. This kind of media faces many obstacles and problems, and (RPCA Pictures) has tried to use the production stages of a successful TV animation such as “the simpsons” to overcome the problems facing production and enter the professional business of TV animation with the release of “shekarestan”. They have also tried to make a move from being only artistic and trying to enter the international market and to be successful economically and industrially.

Marshall McLuhan considers the media to be equivalent to a message; Thus, since mankind began transmitting the message to all its species, the media has existed and in its evolutionary path has influenced and reciprocally influenced cultures as the foundations of civilizations. The most important feature of mass media is that they are "institutional." This means that the message is prepared and sent within a coherent communication system with the aim of influencing the audience's awareness. Civilizations are also the product of external conditions and environmental, cultural, political, sociological, and economic factors that affect the thought and within individuals of society. Thinking becomes a society, so it seems necessary to examine the role of the media in the post-Islamic Revolution with the unique components of belief, politics, culture, and sociology; So the question is, what has been the role of the media in the process of civilization after the Islamic Revolution in Iran? Given that the media have a great influence on public awareness and the establishment of social relations and the deepening of moral values and virtues, it seems that the role of the media and civilization is reciprocal.
