Abstract
The research aims to explain the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the speech of the martyr leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, through the methodology of representing the image by the British scientist John Fisk, and the symbols this theory contains on three levels (realistic, representative and ideological). The research ends by applying the theory to the sample that was represented by a video clip. To the Deputy Chairman of the Authority, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, on January 13, 2019, in the Information Directorate of the Popular Mobilization Authority, while he was chairing a dialogue session with some writers, media figures, and thinkers. The research included the main question (What is the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the thought of the martyr leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis?) and the research included questions. The following sub: What are the symbols of the realistic level of the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the thought of the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis? What are the symbols of the representational level of the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the thought of the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis? What are the symbols of the ideological level of the image of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the thought of the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis? The beginnings of the establishment of the Popular Mobilization Forces came after the issuance of the blessed fatwa of the supreme religious authority, represented by the supreme authority, His Eminence Sayyid al-Sistani (may his soul be long) so that the zealous sons of Iraq would heed that blessed fatwa and be the best supporter of the valiant Iraqi army. The Popular Mobilization Forces are also distinguished from others in their identity, which is based on two basic dimensions (religious and legal). The religious motive, the deteriorating security conditions, and the policy of the terrorist organization ISIS towards the population lead to the necessity of establishing this entity to defend the land, honor, and sanctities, in addition to the presence of legal justifications for its establishment. Which is divided into internal justifications and the resulting decisions of the highest legislative and executive authorities, as well as external justifications from international and global organizations. The doctrine possessed by the Popular Mobilization Forces and its faith leadership and the leadership qualities and characteristics it possesses emanate from an ideological side, which was represented by the architect of the victories, the martyr Hajj Abu Mahdi. The engineer is the one who made the internal and external community sing this sacred entity. The most important findings of the research are the Popular Mobilization Forces’ preservation of national cohesion, through its command by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, its inclusion of all spectrums of the Iraqi people, and its great sacrifices to defend the unity of Iraq, land and people.
