One of the common approaches for explaining how a revolution is constructed is to analyze the ideology of revolutionaries. Ideology legitimizes the conflict and facilitates the mobilization of forces by providing an answer to the question ‘What should be done’ and developing a semantic system for the revolutionaries. But some thinkers such as David Snow believe that such semantic systems can’t be reduced to ideology and besides that, the attention must be paid on the frames that conduct the action of protesters. Frames are semantic systems that conduct the choice and position of revolutionaries in an unwritten and even unconscious way and as a mediating factor, they materialize revolutionary ideas and facilitate political mobilization of forces. This article deals with the memories of student movement activists during Pahlavi II in the Oral History Project of Harvard University to examine the process of politicization of student activists by analyzing the dominant frame of their action and choice. The findings show that Tayefe-Keshi is the frame that plays an important role in this process which has the function of developing boundaries between ‘us’ and ‘them’ and reproducing the political conflict and competition in the university.

While the importance of social and political participation of women in the third World countries is increasing continuously, both for development of these societies and for self-realization of women themselves, it is becoming an essential issue for study. In this paper, we focus on the impact of women's political culture on their political participation. Referring Inglehart's theory and other theories related to the impact of political culture on political participation, we advanced our hypotheses. Through a survey, our data were collected and analyzed. The population of the research was women aged 20 and more from the Iranian city of Yazd, from which a random sample of 385 people were selected. The findings indicate that the women's political culture effects on their political participation. Moreover, all of the dimensions of political culture, including the women's attitudes towards the political system and the ruling elite, their political knowledge, attitudes towards their own political capacity, and normatively taking women's political participation, had meaningful positive correlation with their political participation.

Political participation is a subject which has won an exclusive place in our society, specially after the Islamic Revolution. The importance is such that some parts of it, specially voting, have been constantly supported and emphasized by the political system and have been given a great deal of political propaganda. Meanwhile, mass media, as the most important society s political outlet, can play a desicive role in increasing and decreasing the rate of such participation. Based on these facts, a research was done with the purpose of scrutinizing the effect of mass media on political participation rate in Iran.
