Abstract

POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES are of those new social science areas in the socalled third world which catches a lot of attention. The POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES are meant to clarify how the MODERNITY, through ORIENTALISM discourse, tries to establish a prescribed framework for the colonial treatment of the west to the east.Therefore, the POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES have chosen the difference recognition as its practical goal. Reaching this goal needs a certain kind of REPRESENTATION, namely, the image of self and the other should change. Therefore, it can be said that the POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES do not limit themselves to criticize the west, but the critique of self-image and the self criticism are parts of the POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES.Based on the above approach, this research tries to criticize the REPRESENTATION of Iranian society in Ghahveye Talkh serial, directed by Mehran Modiri. Therefore, the main question of the research is what is the serial narrative toward tradition/modernity extremes, in other words, if the Iranian society is represented as incompatible and irrational phenomenon toward MODERNITY. using post-colonial criticism approach, DECONSTRUCTION methodology is applied to answer this question.The findings of the research show that the dominant narrative of tradition/modernity contrast of the serial is a anti-tradition narrative. Based on this tradition, the Iranian society is represented as the other of MODERNITY. Although, in several cases, the centripetal narrative of the film itself is deconstructed. But because in the DECONSTRUCTION analysis, the goal is not to replace a center with another one, but also a solution should be found for this tradition/modernity extreme and be understood in the Iranian society. In other words, this tradition/modernity contrast is completely false and a third solution or the native MODERNITY should be found.
