There are three major paradigms in relation to the origin of nations; primordialism, modernism and ethic symbolism. It seems that the modernist paradigm considers the nation as a construct and the result of the bureaucratic processes of the state, and in line with this, Anderson`s ideas on the role of education in nation-building have expanded. Foucault`s discussions about the concept of governmentality on the creation of subjects as mediators of disciplinary institutions have also recently been addressed by researchers in this field. In this research, by using the concepts of these theorists and their methodology, the genealogy of education and nation-building in modern Iran is represented. At first, based on the genealogy in this research, the conditions for the emergence of the discourse of authoritarian nationalism in the late Qajar period were summarized. Then, the study explains minds and subsequently bodies were harmonized in the Reza Shah period. In this step, the method of materialization of this discourse is presented with the power of mediator, which shows itself in the curriculum, educational content, and educational processes. Finally, while explaining the conditions for the discovery of Iranian nationalism, the results showed that the two main concepts of homogenization of minds and homogenization of bodies with mediation on discipline were present.

Globalization of culture is one of the aspects of globalization. It is a dynamic process to which more complexity and concision is added every day. The aim of the current study is to examine the effect of the globalization of culture on the national identity of the students of Yasouj University. The method of research was done through conducting a survey, and the sample size of the study was calculated to be 400 female and male students through the Lin formula, and was done with a random stratified sampling method. The questionnaire included researcher-made and normalized questions. Its validity was measured through face validity, and its reliability through Cronbach’s alpha. The findings showed that the national identity of the people studied was relatively strong. Nevertheless, globalization of culture has an effect on it, in a way that from the 5 hypotheses related to the effect of globalization of culture on national identity, 4 were confirmed. Using the regression of a few variables, the most important independent variables affecting national identity were found to be reading non-domestic texts, consumerism, pluralism and gender. The final result is that about 38% of national identity’s variance was derived from the above variables.
