Discourse Analysis of Gender justice on Economic Social and Cultural development Plans in Islamic Republic of Iran

Woman” and “Gender justice” categories, depending on the related discourse field, have been taken different meanings and identities. Each given discourse gives its desirable meaning to these categories. This paper tries to answer this question; “what kind of approach do the post-revolutionary states basically have towards gender justice issue?”
In post-revolutionary era, we can talk about different gender justice discourses but all of them can be interpreted under comprehensive discourse of Islamic revolution. With regard to this matter, the paper scrutinizes the changes in different discourse approaches regarding “woman” and “gender justice” categories. The discourse perspective into concepts, for example discourse analysis method of “LacLou and Chantal mouffe” in which different components gain meaning just in articulation around central sign, is an approach which can clarify the relations of “Woman” and “Gender Justice” inside different discourse orders.
Findings of discourse analysis on five economic, social and cultural development plans of the Islamic republic of Iran represent the approaches of reconstructing, reformist and conservative equitable state to the category of gender justice. It shows that the floating sign, i.e. “Social justice” with regard to macro discourse of Islamic revolution, in the framework of central sign that is “gender justice” is closed and in articulation of this discourse through above mentioned central sign, meaning system is consisted of main concepts as “women capability”, “women employment” , “Hijab and chastity” and “women security” .
