Abstract

This research is an attempt to clarify the methods of representing the Crisis of Azerbaijan in the Caricatures of Tehran Mossavar magazine by Pahlavi's modernism discourse in order to consolidate a particular understanding and narration of the national identity. To analyze twenty four Caricatures of Tehran Mossavar magazine in the period from September 1945 to December 1946, the method of Social Semiotics was used. This method was implemented to study the system of signs such as symbols to understand the real facts of the Crisis of Azerbaijan and the general attitude toward it. A review of the process of adding meaning to the Caricatures based on three important representative, interactive and combinational meta-roles in the semantic approach of Kress and van Leeuwen showed that the deliberate Pahlavi discourse, imitating the symbolism of the Constitutional Revolution and Reza Shah consolidated that part of the components of national identity which provided national unity and the possibility of portraying Iran as a united nation with fixed boundaries. Conceivable and tangible symbols such as map, tree, motherland, history, and kings, etc., were used to this end. The meaningful silence of Tehran Mossavar with regard to ethnically distinctive symbols such as language and ethnicity, etc. was with the aim of denying the crisis in the self-awareness of the public regarding the collective identity built upon official nationalism. The use of symbols indicating conspiracy, hypocrisy and totalitarian traits of the leaders of the Tudeh party and the Democratic Party contributed to their alienation and prevented the sect from showing its goals consistent with the constitutional principles and constitutions. In the same way as the center, they benefited from the nationalist slogans to win the support and sympathy of the libertarians. The discourse of gender and violence in the iconography of Caricatures in Tehran Mossavar with the instigation of national zeal opened the way for repressive and military operations in Azerbaijan to consolidate the concept of the authority of the Shah and the army, as the guarantors of the country's independence and national unity.
