Abstract

 
Social protests, as non-institutional forms of political participation, are the undeniable reality of any society. The frequency and proliferation of this fact in history after the Islamic Revolution and its changes and transformations have doubled the need to pay attention to this form of collective action. Within these protests, the protestors have chanted these slogans, which, on the one hand, express their wishes and demands for political and social changes and their ideals for fundamental changes. On the other hand, these slogans are constructs of domestic and foreign media and virtual and real social networks. In this article, using content analysis method and based on the framing theory of Snow and Benford, an attempt has been made to analyze the slogans of the protests of the last three decades based on three interpretive frameworks and the main themes. Slogans are defined in each framework and each period of protests to reveal the thematic changes of slogans over three decades. The results show that in the protests of June 1999, the motivational framework, the protests after the presidential elections of 2009, and the protests of January 2018 and November 2019, the diagnostic framework carried the most weight among the slogans. The results of the analysis of the theme of the slogans also showed that in the protests of June 1999, Libertarian themes; in the protests of 2009, political justice themes, and in the protests of 2018 and 2019, anti-religious themes were the most frequent among other themes.
