The mechanism of Social Thought in Barahani’s works is the base for the present paper. The portrait of pre & post Revolution Iranian Society painted vividly in two novels of Reza Barahani’s was studied based on Lucian Goldman's Genetical structuralism. The two novels are “The Mysteries of my Homeland” (Les Mysteries du moon Pays) and “Azadeh Khanoom and her Author” (Dr. Sharifi’s Private Auschwitz). Key concepts of the novels were categorized according to Parsons in four categories of culture, society, politics and economy. Findings of the paper show that the mechanism of Social Thought in Barahani’s literature is of politico- cultural approach, in other words, Barahani’s novels are political, but, the political content is obtainable via culture.

Social developments have been reflected in Iranian and Lebanese literature since the beginning of the twentieth century in an especial way, and the poems of Ahmad Shamloo in contemporary Iranian literature and the poems of Abu Mazi in contemporary Lebanese literature have had special importance in terms of reflecting social developments.The present article aims to explain the reflections of social events in Shamloo and AbuMazi’s poetry based on the dominant content theory in Henri Zalamansky's sociology of literature with a descriptive-analytical approach based on the American School of Comparative Literature.The results of the research show that the contemporary social developments in Iran and Lebanon have a clear function in Shamloo and Abu Mazi's poetry and have created common themes in the poetry of these two Iranian and Lebanese poets.The two poets' response to the problems of their society - which, from Zalamansky's point of view, is reflected in various literary forms - is "the struggle for freedom". Shamloo depicts the struggle against the oppression of the Pahlavi regime and Abu Madi depicts the struggle against the oppression of the Ottoman empire.Concepts such as the hardships of immigration, patriotism, criticism of poverty and suffering of the people, complaining about the ruling tyranny, enlightenment and struggle against oppression, freedom-seeking and seeking justice are the social concepts of the poetry of these two poets.

Modernity and modern humanism have played an essential role in the
growth of Iranian women's minds. One of the sources which reflect
the changes and developments of modernity and modern humanism is
Persian novels. This article based on Anthony Giddens' viewpoint
investigates the effects of modernity on Iranian women by reviewing
selected Persian novels which were published in this three periods of
time: from 1300 to 1320, from 1320 to 1345 , and from 1345 to 1357 .
The research demonstrates that generally in the first period, the
evolution caused by the prevalence of modern humanism has not been
able to liberate women thinking from traditional perspectives. In the
second period, growing the popularity of modernity elements has
provided a variety of human interests and desires for women.
Although increasing feminist ideas shows the prevalence of modern
rationalism in this period, behavioral contradictions between women
reveals the superficiality of the viewpoint among them.
Overindulgence in following instinctive desires in the third period
indicates a jump in humanistic thinking. During this period, the
passivity caused by fatalism has also been criticized by the authors.
