Abstract Max Weber is a multidisciplinary thinker. The aim of this article is to historically examine and understand Max Weber's works in Iran. The main question of the research is how Max Weber has been narrated in different historical periods in Iran? Based on the research findings, the understanding of Max Weber in Iran is not the same in different periods. At the beginning of the establishment of sociology in Iran and the predominance of the Komtian-Durkheimian discourse, Max Weber did not have a significant position in the academic and non-academic environment. In the second period, in addition to the narrative and positivist discourse (Durkheimian), Marxist discourse in Iran, and gradually some of Weber's concepts and ideas were used to explain historical events In the third period, many developments took place in the internal and international fields. Marxist metaphors and concepts decreased and Weberian concepts increased.

Abstract Domesticity quarantine is a complex and boring matter that is imposed on families as a boundary situation. The main purpose of this article is to study the coincidence between the boundary situation, boredom, and domesticity quarantine experience in the first peak of the corona. This study is based on a qualitative approach and thematic analysis method and semi-structured interviews. The conceptual framework of the article is based on the perspectives of Jaspers and Svendsen. The research results show the relationship between types of boundary situations (problems, distance, revolt, and existential anxiety) and types of boredom (domesticity, satiety, active and aggressive) in Guilan province. According to interviewees, families with low economic and cultural capital had more resistance to health protocols, and passive and aggressive boredom, in families of the upper classes of society, there is less resistance to health rules, but more loving struggle and creative boredom have been observed.
