Holy Defense Studies

Abstract So far, the great phenomenon of holy defense is not so much in the field of science and methodology. And the study of this subject can be the starting point for new scientific movements. Certainly, production of knowledge from a phenomenon called holy defense without engaging researchers with the dimensions of this phenomenon will not be possible. And of course, the association of academic methodologists and researchers, with the agents of the Holy Defense domain, can lead to scientific complementarities in this area. In this paper, by reviewing the abstract of 100 research and scientific-promotional articles, the methodological dimensions of these articles were identified and classified. To this end, it is possible to depict the state of the past on holy defense research, and, on the other hand, make suggestions to improve the research methods of this field in order to create scientific works.The final results of this study show that past research has been carried out in 16 axes, and their methodological values can be categorized in 9 main dimensions and 29 sub-dimensions. At the end of the article, conclusions and suggestions regarding the use of various research methods in the Holy Defense Studies are presented.

It seems like character is the most effective and permanent part of wars narrative. This dissertation studies characterization in “holy defence” animation series to define aspects of characterization and its relationship with narrative structure. This dissertation studies holey defence series –Shoja’an directed and written by Siavash Zarrinabadi, Hamsangaran directed by Samad Gholamzadeh and Written by Kourosh Karami & Legend of a brave Directed by Mahmoud Soltanpour and Co Written by him & Mansoureh Anvari- based on structuralist narratology, and theories developed by Culler, Prince and specially Seymour Chatman to seek weakness and disadvantages of characterization in those series. This is a descriptive-applied research with qualitive outcomes. The results suggest that prevalence of story events and narrator’s ideological attitude over characters and bringing the idealized character in the center of narrative has made the narrative structure less sufficient for characterization, which leads to more superficial, dull and passive characters.

Abstract Documents made about sacred defense have characteristics that set it apart from other documentaries. It is characteristic of displaying the human characters that we see every day in our daily lives. Like the heroes of Western films, they do not have unparalleled combat skills. It is through this that the most prominent aspect of the "sacred defense documentary" are the characters and the warriors present. The focus of this article will be on this sacred defense feature. The method of this article is descriptive and analytical and attempts to achieve its goal by studying case studies of documentaries, including the documentaries of martyr Avini, until a film from the early nineties on sacred defense. The results show that the documentarians strive to emphasize the same characteristic of ordinary people who participated in the war with different jobs and positions, in addition to emphasizing and encouraging participation in the war, as well as being coercive and defensive. Emphasize the sacred defense. Focusing more on being defensive of war makes participation in war a humane, patriotic and religious task. On the other hand, the mission that Avini himself and his stylistic followers reflect on the presence of warriors on the battlefield considers his filmmaking to be in line with the work of the prophets and divinities. The pictured man is also, of course, different from that of the human being, and of Westernized philosophy.
