An important resolution of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution and War of Narratives

According to Fars news agency’s art reporter, the activities of the home television network always remind of an important principle, monitoring these activities is an important and inevitable thing, an event that after a long time became legal with the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, a resolution which can fix the sloppiness between platforms. However, after the issuance of the decree, there have been different framings of the issue. In the sense that different groups have tried to present their own narrative of the issue. But what is the truth of the story and from what point of view can the main narrative be read?

* Some home show productions are similar to satellite programs

Earlier, Zohra Sadat Lajurdi, a member of the Parliament’s Cultural Commission, said about the need to monitor the home television network: “In recent years, especially after the Corona epidemic, the home television network has been well received by the people.”

At the same time, referring to the criticisms of some home theater productions, Lajurdi reminded: “Some cases of moral indiscipline or vulgarity of themes in some movies presented on home theater platforms are nothing less than satellite movies, and compared to the issues that sometimes exist in some layers of society. There has been an exaggeration that compared to the social customs and respected norms of the Iranian society, the showing of such films is considered a kind of defamation of some behaviors and anomalies.

Stating that the issue of media is very important and that culture and society have left its effects, he said: “From now on, we will see more influence, but in the meantime, the problem is that, unfortunately, there is currently no necessary monitoring of such issues.” And from time to time, a series of movies and series, for example, are aired on Filmo or other home television channels, which are not appropriate.”

The representative of the people of Tehran in the parliament said: “People’s culture is influenced by the media, and most of what is shown in these films is in conflict with our culture, and they are trying to normalize unusual relationships and Paying attention to such issues, we have seen that people’s lifestyles are changing and moving towards western lifestyles.

A member of the Parliament’s Cultural Commission said: “In this way, we are seriously looking to enter into this issue, because we must have serious supervision in this regard so that we no longer see the showing of inappropriate movies and series.”

The representative of the people of Tehran pointed out in the parliament: Due to the great influence of the content produced and broadcast in the home show and the current atmosphere of the society and the audience of this program, who are also from the youth and youth of the society, this issue should be addressed. And we request to modify and change the attitude in the process of creating such contents that are changing and contrary to Iranian and Islamic culture.

* War of narratives on the topic of monitoring platforms

Ali Akbar Abdul Alizadeh wrote in this regard: “When we talk about the cognitive war or the battle of narratives and consider it a full-scale and more complex battle than physical wars, we should pay attention to the dangerous internal currents rather than the cross-border enemies; Because in this battle, the enemy’s embankments are not outside the geographical borders, but right in the heart of the internal institutions and among the layers of the society, and the enemy’s soldiers have settled so well among the insiders that they cannot even be recognized in terms of appearance.

The work is hard, and that is why we see that despite the emphasis of the Supreme Leader and the people of Nazar, unfortunately, the official structure of the country is in a continuous error, paying less attention to the issue and cultural position than any other axis. Unaware of the fact that this costly mistake is the result of setting fire to the enemy’s embankments in this all-encompassing battle.
As an example, let’s consider “regulating the space of inclusive media” in practice.

Abdul Alizadeh further wrote: “A secret army consisting of some media people who oppose the law and defend the chaos and vandalism on the platforms and who happen to be present in the official media, government and sovereign institutions, are under the influence of an apparently licensed platform. who happened to be enriched by taking advantage of government and security rents, for years they hindered the clarification of the responsibilities and powers between the two institutions of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and Sedavasima. When the clarification was done and based on the monitoring and regulation law, the platforms came under the supervision of the broadcaster and its executive arm “Satra”, they still raised suspicions and tried to muddy the waters and catch their own fish by creating divisions and discord between the two institutions. When the Parliament approved the structure and budget of Satra, they beat the drum that Satra has no legal basis! Now, the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution, as an institution whose resolutions in the field of culture and art are examples of law, has approved a resolution in the form of a chapter of speech, but they are still quickly creating a new destructive process.

Based on this, this media expert formulates the issues related to the discussion of the resolution of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution regarding the supervision of Satra as follows:

“1- The issue of platforms, which is a fundamentally cultural issue, is more important in the cognitive battle of the enemy than you and I imagine, and its regulation in this battle must always remain undecided, even if it has a strong legal foundation.

2- The stream that serves the rival should not be searched in the enemy embankment, but in the internal embankments.

3- Undoubtedly, the basis and root of this war is in the cultural fields, and the battle in this labyrinth requires wise soldiers who are proficient in the subjects and equipped with the tools of insight, flow analysis, etc.
