چکیده

حداقل نیمی از کنش‌های فرهنگی و اجتماعی در جامعۀ ایرانی پس از انقلاب اسلامی مبتنی بر مشارکت و نقش‌آفرینی زنان شکل گرفته و در جریان است. از آنجا که کمتر پژوهش و بررسی علمی به جایگاه و نقش زنان با محوریت فعالیت‌های فرهنگی و اجتماعی در مسیر جریان‌سازی گفتمان انقلاب اسلامی پرداخته است، این مقاله به این پرسش پاسخ می‌دهد که نحوۀ کنشگری فرهنگی و اجتماعی زنان در فعالیت‌ها و تشکل‌های محلی و سراسری در ایران چگونه است و آیا می‌توان الگویی برای توصیف این کنشگری مبتنی بر رویکردهای انقلابی تبیین کرد. برای پاسخ به این پرسش و استخراج الگو، 15 مصاحبۀ نیمه‌ساخت‌یافته با زنان فعال و موفق در ایجاد و راه‌اندازی این تشکل‌ها و فعالیت‌های فرهنگی محلی در سراسر کشور صورت گرفت. سپس با استفاده از تکنیک تحلیل داده‌بنیاد، نقش زنان در این فعالیت‌ها و کنشگری، شرایط و زمینه‌های دخیل، علل و راهبردهای اتخاذشده از سوی زنان و همچنین پیامدها و آثار این کنش‌های زنانه در زیست‌بوم محلی و بومی استخراج شد و درنهایت الگویی مبتنی بر مدل پارادایمی به‌دست آمد. در این مدل، پدیدۀ کنشگری زنانۀ حلال مسائل، تجربه‌گر زیست زنانه، یداللهی، توانمندساز، ساده و محلی، ولایت‌پذیر، تربیتی و دینی، خانوادگی و روشمند زنانه توصیف شده است.

چکیده [English]

Women’s participation and agency have been the foundation and execution of at least half of the cultural and social initiatives that have emerged in Iranian society subsequent to the Islamic Revolution. However, there has been a dearth of scholarly research that has concentrated on the position and role of women, with a particular emphasis on cultural and social activities, in the process of shaping and advancing the discourse of the Islamic Revolution. Subsequently, this article endeavors to address the question of how women's cultural and social activism is demonstrated in local and national activities and organizations in Iran, and whether it is feasible to establish a model that elucidates this activism through revolutionary approaches. In order to address this question and extract a model, fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with active and successful women who are engaged in the establishment and management of local cultural organizations and activities throughout the country. Consequently, the grounded theory method was employed to identify and analyze the roles of women in these activities and forms of activism, as well as the relevant conditions and contexts, causal factors, strategies and approaches that women adopted, and the consequences and impacts of these forms of women’s activism on the local and indigenous ecosystem. Ultimately, a paradigm-based model was developed. This model conceptualizes women’s activism as a methodical, problem-solving approach that is rooted in the lived experiences of women, divinely inspired, empowering, simple, and local, obedient to guardianship (Velayat), educational and religious, family-oriented, and methodical in its feminine form.
