Abstract

This paper addresses conceptualizations of Iranian women represented in the dialogues and visuals of the Iranian locally-produced film ; a film that portrays Iranian women in pre- and post-revolutionary Iran. Our findings, based on cultural conceptualizations analytical framework, revealed cultural metaphors (, , , , and ), cultural schemas (Iranian women as related to one’s ‘’, ‘’, and Iranian women as characters who suffers from ), and a cultural category () related to Iranian women before the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Also, the study showed a reconceptualization of the cultural schema of in post-revolutionary Iran, where educated Iranian women confidently strive for their freedom of choice. The study highlights the importance of film dialogues and visuals in conveying cultural conceptualizations of women in a specific speech community over time.
