Abstract

Cybernetics, social system of action, model variables, transitional, traditional, post-traditional situation, the current research with a documentary strategy and in a descriptive-analytical way, and based on the existing historical data about women in the Safavid era, attempts to redraw the status of these women based on The model variables proposed in the structural functionalism theory of Talcott Parsons, which connects the science of history with other departments of social sciences. The main research question is how women in the Safavid era were able to be effective in the social system of their era. The hypothesis of the research is that women played an effective role in the transition of the society from the traditional to the post-traditional state, and this role was achieved through passing from attributive, emotional, general and qualitative roles to acquired, trans-emotional and specific roles. oriented and functional, they have provided to some extent and have helped to transform the society of the Safavid era into a semi-transitional and dynamic society. The results show that this preliminary transition has caused the transfer of energy and information from systems and sub-systems with the role of women, instead of only through assigned and specific roles, etc. Acquiring and generalizing roles, etc. should also take place, and the foundations of a new configuration of the cybernetics system of the Safavid era should be created.
