Criminological analysis of Gender-Based approches in Iranian Cinematic Performance: Case study of Mastaneh

Abstract

Today, in the light of new attitudes in cultural crime, the discussion of the media representation of the status of women has been considered. The cinema as the seventh art has always been associated with gender-based approaches, and the representation of gender and women has been reflected. Accordingly, this study, using the qualitative content analysis method, aims to analyze and evaluate the cinematic film in the light of gender-based approaches. Based on the findings of the content analysis, Monsanto's film, focusing on the crime of rape and drawing the problems of the victims of this territory, seeks to recognize the rights of women and support victims of rape. The focus on translating the obvious and hidden meanings of the film shows that the hegemony of patriarchal thinking in the epistemology of rape is confirmed in the form of a victimized blaming theory of the role of a victim of crime, and sometimes in the light of the dualism of the noble-minded women, the victim's delinquency. However, the overall assessment shows that the film recognizes extremist feminist attitudes such as existentialist and psychoanalytic feminism.
