The results show that the formation of the first modern state in Iran is the objective and strategic embodiment of the imperative modernity. Reconsidering the formation of imperative modernity, the influential discourse acts, the paper also which have formed the supporting elements of the foresaid formation were identified. Embarks upon the critical discourse analysis of the journals published in the period of power transition from Qajar to Pahlavi, including: Kaveh,Iranshahr, Name-e Farangestan, Ayandeh and Mard-e-Azad. Resulting categories of this discourse analysis include the following main concepts: "self and other image"; "Asking about collapse and underdevelopment", "adopting western civilization", "separation of religion from politics and public sphere", "elitism", "necessity of the imperative and authoritative state", and finally "nationalism". The intellectuals of the power transition period, as the reference group of the imperative modernity discourse, as well as the most influential strategic group, have played a major role in institutional and discourse formation of the first modern state in Iran.

These local dynasties left their precious heritage of political structure and legitimacy to the Seljuks to establish the first Islamic empire in the Medieval age. The Seljuks developed a combined method of their nomadic procedures as well as the Iranian bureaucracy system to dominate on the vast territories from Transoxiana to Mediterranean for nearly a century and a half. They developed the interaction and division of power among the main agents and institutions in the society to organize their own legitimacy.

To identify Iranian vs. non-Iranian identity and the contexts leading to the creation of Shahnameh, the present paper has employed critical discourse analysis (CDA). The findings of a textual analysisof the story of Siavash indicate that the discourse of Iranian identity has been shaped through confrontation with that of Aniranian, and in both discourses, the political dimension of identity has been more important. Ferdowsi regards the political institute as the guardian of freedom and independence of Iran. In fact, taking into consideration the conditions of the time and the conquest of Iran by the Arabs and their dominance, Ferdowsi tried to propose his political ideas in "an ideal king". Enjoying divine charisma, justice and wisdom, the ideal king is the nodal point in the discourse of Iranian identity. In contrast, the king of Aniran has been delegitimized as the nodal point of Aniranian identity, lacking divne charisma, justice and wisdom.    }, Keywords = {Iranian identity,Aniranian identity,Critical Discourse Analysis}, volume = {4}, Number = {2}, pages = {145-171}, publisher = {Tarbiat Modares University}, url = {http://jhs.modares.ac.ir/article-25-5308-en.html}, eprint = {http://jhs.modares.ac.ir/article-25-5308-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Historical Sociology}, issn = {2322-1941}, eissn = {2476-6798}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {Neyestani, J. and Hatamian, M.

After a while, this form of architecture became more common, and was used in the construction of such structures as palace. The Chahar- taqi plan was also used during the Islamic period, although there are limited vestiges of its use in the first four centuries of Islamic period. However, with the rise of Seljuk dynasty, and the need to expand the architectural spaces like mosques, this construction plan was widely used in the construction of mosques, palaces and castles. Based on the archetype hypothesis by Jung, the authors set out to analyze the reasons for selecting this architecture form and its continuation from Sassanid to the Islamic period by mentioning evidences of its sacred aspect in Islamic sources. In other words, the question is whether chahar-tag (four-typed) architecture is a model derived from the common beliefs of the society or unconscious tribal mind of pre-Islamic peoples of Iran, found its way, gained ground and evolved in human mind in this land, and used in the construction of other structures such as palaces, castles, mosques and tomb monuments.    }, Keywords = {Chahar-taqi,Jung,Archetype,Sacred,Sassanid period,Islamic period}, volume = {4}, Number = {2}, pages = {173-191}, publisher = {Tarbiat Modares University}, url = {http://jhs.modares.ac.ir/article-25-5399-en.html}, eprint = {http://jhs.modares.ac.ir/article-25-5399-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Historical Sociology}, issn = {2322-1941}, eissn = {2476-6798}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {Karimian, H. and nikzad, M.}, title = {The Effect on the Jurisprudence Standards for Architectural and Residential Neighborhoods in the Two Minorities of Jews and Christians in Safavid Isfahan}, abstract ={Zoroastrians, Christians and Jews as "people of the Book" have lived in the Islamic lands and the Muslims, This coexistence has been subject to accept the conditions of the contract, namely “Ahlozummah” In the contract, provisions to create urban spaces and architecture by the minorities have been specified.

For this purpose, two historic Jewish neighborhood (Joyubareh) and the predominantly Christian (Julfa) were systematically studied. Selection of these neighborhoods was because they have been used continuously since the Safavid period and the architectural spaces have remained almost intact.
