A discourse analysis of socio-political films: A glance at Saman Moqaddamʹs "Party"

On the basis of Laclau and Mouffes discourse theory, which is a framework to study socio-political discourse, this paper seeks to show how dominant social discourses reproduce themselves through cultural products such as films. To do so, parts of the film ʹPartyʹ by Saman Moqaddam are studied as an example. The main questions asked in this paper are: What social discourse/discourses produced the film? And, how is this social space represented in the film? Finally, through analyzing and describing both the dominant social space and the film, the paper tries to put the film in a bigger social context and show how discourse theory can help us to study cultural products such films.
