Abstract

The current research tries to examine the position of the Islamic Revolution in the evolution of Iran's cultural policy, as well as the cycle of discourse and evolution in the cultural policy of the Islamic Republic in the 70s.In order to organize the theory of discourse analysis, we used it as a method to answer this question in citing the results that What discourse changes has Iran's Islamic Revolution brought about in the process of cultural policymaking?Has the cultural policy after the revolution followed an established and dominant discourse or has it undergone changes within the discourse?

In order to determine the discourse changes, different approaches to cultural policy-making, such as (being idealistic and realistic - the level of government intervention - the perspective (the viewpoint ) of cultural control or free culture - being religious and non-religious) have been examined.

Also, in order to study more closely and show the amount of changes, Documents and development plans have also been analyzed.One of the most important results of the current research is that with the incident of the Islamic Revolution, there is a shift from the "Western and irreligious" discourse to the "religious and Islamic" discourse.And the process of cultural policy after the Islamic revolution can be divided into two discourses: "traditional-revolutionary" and "development-liberal" and we witness this evolution in the discourse of the 1370s.
