The concept of shopping in cultural studies has been changed by the spread of social media in the form of virtual markets and online shopping, as an identity-maker action. Examining the role of virtual social networks on Tehran people’s shopping experiences, this article aims to identify the differences between shopping experience in virtual and real spaces.To capture the meaning of the shopping experience in the first and second spaces, the present research uses the paradigm of dual spacization, and studying the pattern of shopping behavior in Instagram and Telegram channels, it intends to investigate this dual-spacization field using ethnographic and netnographic methods.Identifying and then explaining, the typology of virtual stimulating and limiting factors through online and offline shopping spaces observations, it turned out that Instagram and Telegram are more an advertising means for real market goods than a space for direct shopping. The research findings show that while shopping for the sake of spending leisure times and hanging around is common in both real and virtual markets, but contrary to the idea of Michel deCerteau and thinkers, who advocate resistance, leisure, pleasure and hanging around of the audience, involving actively in shopping malls and membership in virtual channels, the buyer is engaged in a"consumption cycle" so that consumer tactics have not been able to be used as an emancipating element in the strategy of consumer society.

Chastity and veil are Religious orders that acquaintance of individuals with their criteria and patterns of them take place in process of their religious socialization. In this process, people understand the content and meaning of these doctrines and use them in the situations and interactions of their everyday lives. Chador as the preferred hijab in Islam is a cultural phenomenon in the field of women's clothing that has been shown over the years in IRIB. Choosing this cover, including in social relationships is usually a sign of a person's commitment to religious principles. This research seeks to answer this question that how chastity indicators have been represented in Chadori women of TV series's, in the years after the Islamic Revolution? In this regard, at first these indicators derived from Islamic law and then analyzed in all Chadori women in 40 most viewed Iranian TV series. Accordingly, a total of 107 Chadori characters from these series have been selected and studied. . SPSS software and descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square test) were used to analyze the data. Findings of the research indicate that in the years after the Islamic Revolution, Chadori women, despite choosing the superior hijab, have not followed the criteria of Islamic chastity in their interaction with men. The way they communicate, look and talk with men, also their obvious adornment, hair and body in facing men, have no significant difference with the women who have another kind of covers.

This study is a mediatorof a case study of the private theater which seeks to explore some of the major socio-economic fields of art economics in Iran. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people joining the theater community through academic or other routine practices. Despite the theatrical population growth, the infrastructure has not changed much; the facilities of the showrooms are just as low. Since early 1980s, the idea of the privatization of the theater and some of the other theatrical effects of Iran, became the "hegemonic idea",. Many activists accepted this. Governmental theater custodians had a glance to the private sector, to eliminate crisis because of showrooms shortage. Now, more than 20 private theaters have been operating alongside state showrooms in Tehran. Still there are some questions: could this program open a knot of Iran's overwhelming work? How do the activists and "stakeholders" evaluate the experience of the field? The research attempts to answer questions on the basis of revising the views and evaluations of the theater activists, but understanding the "private activity of the theater" as a category of art economics requires an understanding of the more general social relations. The article attempts to analyze the "private theater in Iran" in the context of the socioeconomic transformation of the last two decades of Iran. It shows the reflection of the socioeconomic problem during last two decades. One consequence of this trend is to establish "private showroom" instead of "private theater".

Although science journalism has more than 100 years' history in Iran but, Iranian popular science media insists on conveying of information as a function of these media. In this type of media, the role of science journalists is translation and simplification of the complex and expertise language of the modern science. In the literature, this approach named traditional models of public communication of science. To identify categories for good science journalism in Iran, this study has used focus group and had deep interview with science journalists who had experienced for more than 10 years . Findings of the research indicate that redefinition of the function of science journalism is also based on traditional models. It means that science journalists proposed popularization and contextual model. However, they start to think about these media as identical factor and physical-cultural and social capital because of limited number of audiences and feeling to have independent economy. It seems that this approach would change the function of science journalism in the future and it would become a dynamic and influential part in the field of media and science.

The booming revolution of information technology has created a new space in politics. Given the opportunities that this technological revolution has created, the Islamic Revolution seeks for a model to cross the cohesive network of Western media systems. However islamophobia is a threat to the Muslim world, but on the other hand, it has become possible for others to become curious about it and seek answers to questions about Islam. The Islamic revolution tries to exploit the virtual scope until: First, it will pass through the rival media network, and second transfer the concepts of the Islamic revolution to this networking society.Letter patterns to Western youth are examples of these efforts. The letter which the leader of Islamic revolution wroth to the Western youth and supported by virtual medias was example of this kind. In this kind of pattern, it attempts to create a chain of actions through

This study is examining the changes in religious values, attitudes and methods by measuring the degree of Autonomy and Authority in the religious affairs of the current generation and the early generations of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 in Iran. Research hypotheses that have been tested on the theoretical views related to autonomy and authority extracted using data collected in a survey method. The sample size using the Cochran formula was 392 people with accuracy of %/05 and confidence level of %95, from two age groups of 50 to 65 years old and 15to 30 years old citizens of Qom and Tehran cities in the year of 2017 using cluster sampling method and randomly selected. Required information was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed statistically. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a significant difference between the spectrum autonomy and religious authority in the two groups of studies that are somehow considered as the first and third generation of the Islamic Revolution. These analyses indicate that there is a significant difference in autonomy indexes in religious rituals, autonomy of religious commands, autonomy in religious flexibility, autonomy in ethics, autonomy in accepting religions, in the authority of tradition or rationality, and in obtaining information between the two groups of studies. This means that the early generation after the revolution has more religious authority in the religious affairs of religion, and the current generation is of lower authority and less autonomy in religious affairs.

In order to explain the conditions for the propagation of religion in the future, we need to study its future status by studying the trends affecting the future. One of the most important trends that affect the propagation of religion is the trends of religiosity. In this study, using the "futures wheel" and experts' panels, we examine the different and mediated consequences of several main trends of religious change on the future of religion propagation. The four main trends: increasing the tendency towards emotional religiosity, the growth of selectivity and compositionalism in religiosity, the challenges of religious governance demand, and the prevalence of the pattern of therapeutic in religiosity will lead to different events in the future of religion propaganda Religion propagation will be more difficult In the future,. The role of the public people will increase and governmental organizations will face the challenge of their role. The plurality of patterns and propagation methods, and also the need for creativity and inventive skills will be evident. The "clergiman dispatch" is considered to be inefficient, and religious groups and agencies with revenue-generating approach and contact with audiences are moving toward new patterns of engagement. Religious missionaries are more likely to respond to the emotional and spiritual needs of audiences than being religious information providers.
