His paper investigates the Covid-19 discourse which has taken shape in Haasan Rouhani’ s speeches. Following Laclau and Mouffe theory of discourse analysis, we investigated all of Rouhani’ s speeches (i. e. 30 speeches) from February 2, 2020 to April 27, 2020. Findings showed that Covid-19 discourse has mainly revolved around three nodal points: the country, enemy, and the state of exception. Our results also explained how Rouhani used Covid-19 as an empty signifier to reinforce the hegemonic discourse in Iran while trying to redefine his relations with the state-leaning organizations. While a growing body of research has already emerged from medical disciplines, this study contributes to our understanding of the novel coronavirus from a discursive perspective.

The rapid growth in the use of the Internet in recent years has accelerated many activities and problems related to the Internet, including crimes and harms caused by it and, most importantly, privacy violations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between media literacy and privacy in cyberspace by adolescents. The method used in the present study is a descriptive correlational type. The statistical population of this study consists of all high school students in District 5 of Tehran (18-12) in the academic year 1399-1400 and the statistical sample size using multi-stage cluster sampling is 378 people. SPSS software was also used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between media literacy among adolescents and virtual literacy, due to having a significance level of less than 0. 05 is confirmed. Therefore, it can be said that there is a significant relationship between media literacy among adolescents and virtual literacy. One of the concerns of using cyberspace is the lack of privacy. However, the emergence of networks means a greater threat to the privacy and information of individuals compared to previous communication techniques. This threat is due to the classification and integration of files and the ability to track the daily activities of individuals.
