Choosing a name should follow social rules that legitimate some names or forbid the others. The first step when entering the virtual world and chat rooms is choosing a name by the user. This article is concentrated on the names that are chosen in the chat rooms by Iranian users. Through this research, we aimed to make clearer the rules, desires and wishes that the name owners follow to choose their name. In this research, Pierre Bourdieu’s Idea about language, Erving Goffman’s theory in representation of self and Dramaturgical theory were used. In addition, “public sphere” presented by Jürgen Habermas was applied to describe some aspects of the internet enviroment as the context of acting. To find an answer for our research question, more than 600 nicknames were chosen. To analyze the names, qualitative content analysis method was used. Finally, the nicknames were categorized and a typology of the nicknames was presented. Then, we tried to explain each category with suitable theory. We found that nickname owners try to represent themselves as acceptable and pleasant for their audiences through the choice of their nicknames. Indeed, sometimes they mock real world norms, values and relations through choosing unusual or funny names. 7330 Introducing the General Pattern for the Power-Oriented Explanation of the Revolutions Memar Rahmatallah f f Assistant Professor of Sociology Research Center of Imam Khomeini and enghlab Islami, tehran, Iran 1 2 2009 1 2 59 88 03 05 2010 22 06 2010 Keywords: Revolutionary Situation, Power-oriented explanation, General pattern, Theoretical perspectives, Types of explanation .
