In this research, we attempted to study hawzavi autobiographies published in Persian language and extract the neglected and expressed issues in them. Then we aimed to analyze the main themes, central interests and ideas, as well as the present and absent issues of these constructed accounts of the lives of the hawzavis using thematic analysis method. Finally, a sociological typology of these autobiographies is presented based on these data. This typology could be considered as another phase in depicting an image of hawza and its actors as well as their evolution and changes in contemporary Iran. Findings show that masters, fathers and paternal ancestors are the common expressed issues in most of these autobiographies. Transcendental issues and God are clearly more apparent in the older autobiographies, but they gradually diminish and are depicted in a mediated way, and are finally disappeared in the recent decades. In terms of the presence of women, these autobiographies are divided into two categories of “ females-expressed” and “ females neglected” and even into two other categories of “ economy-expressed” and “ economy-neglected” . Hence, Hawzavi autobiographies are categorized into two general types of “ secluded autobiographies” and “ social autobiographies” . The presented self in secluded autobiographies is limited to education, worship and a masculine family setting. In contrast, the presented self in social autobiographies is depicted in relation with social issues and a wider network of actors and events; a hawzavi self who is not just hawzavi but a social existence that is ‘ also’ hawzavi.

This research seeks to explore the possibility and refusal of dialogue in cyberspace. The method of this research is a systematic review, based on which 13 research related to the subject in terms of possibility, refusal and the condition for the realization of dialogue in this space were studied. The findings show that the reasons for the possibility of realizing the dialogue are the technical features of the new media and the characteristics of the network structure. The reasons for its refusal to dominate the political and economic structures on cyberspace, the virtual space feature, and the networks and user interaction skills in the real world are virtual. Researchers believe that the realization of dialogue in social networks requires the establishment of governments and the creation of open spaces for their dialogue and training of users in two areas of real-life and virtual dialogue talent training and media literacy training.

Many researchers have emphasised the importance of organizational communication, and this concept in various fields has been studied. In recent years, by the advent and increasing interest in social networks, corporate communication into a new realm entered but in studies and particularly in our country has been less studied. In this article, a model for communicational management has been presented focusing on the role of social networks in disrupting traditional organizational communication in governmental organizations. First, individual interviews were conducted with theoretical sampling. The results of the interviews were analyzed using the theme analysis method by MAXQDA software. Six variable were specified: effective organizational communication, cognitive capital, communication capital, reinforcement of group communication, reinforcement of interpersonal communication, and communication disturbance. 25 dimensions were obtained; then, with the help of experts in a Delphi approach, the model was designed. This model is not only the basis for understanding communication management and media-based communication, but also greatly contributing to the organization's internal communication software.

In recent years, the use of satellites and the existence of fun and entertainment channels and the proliferation of family series (the genre of the Sopapra) has expanded in the country. This in Iranian society, though unofficially, has become part of the conflict of everyday life, is part of the population, especially the percentage of women.

To reach the answer, the approach of cultural studies and qualitative methodology (with deep interview with 30 women of Tehrani) was used and studied in the theoretical model and then received by the audience-in three layers of personal readings, referral readings and critical reading-studied Has taken.

Based on Lefebvre’ s concepts and dialectical methodology this article studies production and transformation of urban space of BabolSar during Qajar and Pahlavi Era. It studies structures (Economy, culture, politics) and agencies (relationships of social forces) simultaneously and together, by using sources such as travel literature, documents, photos, local, national, and international histories, and applying technics like deep interview, group discussion, oral history and observation. Regarding to Lefebvre’ s triad, and special experience of this city, constructed triad in this research includes ‘ Spatial Practice’ , ‘ Economic Policies’ , and ‘ Political Economy’ . Components of these three aspects are traced in seven historical periods which are constructed from the findings of this research. Applying dialectical triad during different periods shows economic and cultural turns in internal and external social forces. Finally, it shows transition in space from absolute space to abstract space and then to differential space. This research has tried to present an anthropologic interpretation focusing on these changes.

The present research aims to study data journalism in world media using a case study of data journalism in the Guardian UK. The theories of “ Public Spheres” , "use & gratification" and “ Network Society” were used and in-depth interview (with 103 data journalism expert), case study and secondary research were the methods of study. The present study has attempted to answer 20 general and specialized questions. The investigation of 5 general questions (in in-depth interviews) showed that the majority of interviewees consider the Guardian and New York Times the leading media with data journalism teams and UK and USA the two leading countries in this field. The interviewees highlighted the effect of the Guardian’ s data journalism team in the world and their own teams and have stated they are, to some extent, familiar with this team’ s work, the composition of the team and their preferred software. The majority of the interviewees consider Guardian’ s data journalism inspirational, credible, divulging and of high quality. The investigation of 121 data journalism works by the Guardian in the case study demonstrates their divulging and critical approach. The study of the time of forming the team in 33 media revealed the young nature of this field (in its modern perception). Analyzing the state of data journalism in the world shows that despite the challenges and differences in its progress among different countries, this area of media is developing and therefore the introduction of Iran's media into this field seems necessary.
