Abstract The main object of the article is to study the problem of alienation from the law in Iranian culture. We thus study the state of the law in the university as one of the most important institutes for educating the legitimate citizen. Then, we have done two types of research about the culture of the university. First, we have researched students’ transgressions in the fields of politics, morality, and education. Second, we did research the professors’ confrontation with the surveillance laws on their process of scientific quality. Consequently, Iranian universities, as one of the most important institutes to educate professional subjects and legitimate citizens are producing alien subjects to university laws. Therefore, if in modern western culture, based on the consumer culture, the law is to defend individualism, in Iran the transgression against the law is to defend the self and it has ended in a reverse individualism.

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.

Abstract  To do this, we conducted grounded theory and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Also, we used purposive sampling to recruit 15 male and female adults who lived in Tehran. Then, we read the data and coded significant statements and 12 main categories and the core category of ‘erosion of health and livelihood in the crisis and failure of change management’. The results showed that the corona epidemic has affected the quality of people's livelihood and health system, and has had consequences such as physical and mental damage and employment vulnerability. In addition, casual and contextual conditions such as intra-occupational mechanisms, awareness of prevention methods, disease experience, individual's assessment of the government's performance, and the level of social support have been effective in facing these consequences.

Abstract Perhaps the greatest struggle for others (Kurds) to criticizing the Pahlavi era is the struggle for their right to remember its presence at history.Therefore, narrating and recounting Kurdish regions is more necessary than ever in relation to the Pahlavi regime and the events of that era.The fundamental sociological question of present research will be that how the first Pahlavi government, with the aim of modernizing Iran or in other words promoting ancient nationalism and by a mediating mechanism called reconciliation with the past in a dialectical way, has eliminated the past and memory of its other subjectivities. The aim of this study is to reconnect with a past that reinstates and restores the continuity among others. The mechanisms that mentioned research has recognized as the internal logic of the process of memory destruction include dialectics of the invention of tradition and the destruction of The Kurds Memory, dialectics of education....
