Abstract

In Iran, after the Islamic revolution, we are witnessing the formation of important challenges in various political, social, economic and cultural fields. Considering the ideological nature of the Islamic revolution, the challenge in the field of culture is one of the most serious challenges. Considering the ideological nature of the Islamic Revolution, one of the most serious challenges is the challenge in the field of culture.
In this field, we witnessed a hypothetical confrontation between the dominant discourse and a discourse outside the borders of the country, and we also witnessed the formation of a fundamental challenge in the field of culture between the supporters of the Islamic Revolution itself.
 This research addresses part of this challenge that is relevant to the last decade. Due to the nature of the research, Laclau & Moff's discourse analysis method. To illustrate the background to the formation of this challenge. Influential statesmen of the tenth government, by putting together concepts such as the inefficiency of jurisprudence, the end of Islamism and creating a relationship (articulation) between them, sought to create a new discourse that would challenge the dominant discourse . But it was met with an anti-hegemonic reaction from the dominant discourse. The result of this challenge was the marginalization of the discourse of the tenth government and the hegemony of the dominant discourse.
