Representing the Signs of Political Action in Revolutionary Spirituality; A Case Study of Spirituality Studies in the Discourse of the Islamic Revolution

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the reflection of political action on spirituality based on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution. To this end, a theoretical framework for identifying Persian literature on the studies of spirituality in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution is presented by indexing the definition of spirituality in the second step statement and completing its components with the help of other statements of the Supreme Leader. These writings can be divided into two parts: "Central Discourse Writings" and "Criticisms of Criticisms of Competitive Currents". The way the slabs represent the political action in these letters is also examined. These linguistic signifiers in the studies of spirituality in Persian that have developed around the definition of spirituality in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the implications of this discourse around the features of "revolutionary spirituality" indicate specific political actions in spirituality. The outlines of these actions in their active form are arrogance, justice seeking, martyrdom, and civilization. Signs of these active actions include: jihadi spirituality, civilization, justice, revolutionary, epic, liberation from domination, martyrdom, and progressiveism. Linguistic evidence of passive (reactive) political activism in the literature produced in the critique of competing discourse also includes American, Zionist, imported, arrogant, military, capitalist and consumerist.
