Abstract
This paper aims to discourse analysis of the concept of violence in the tv program 90 and understand its function in criticizing violence and reproducing the critical discourse of football issuesover the ecountry. The paper was conducted using the method of critical discourse analysis and the combination of approaches of Laclau and Mouffe's with Faircloughand Van Dijk.Three violence-related programs were selected through purposeful sampling to identify the discourse system of the programs, nodal point, silence, and semantic episodes of them.The findings showed that improper management, anomy, low culture, and lack of public participation were nodal points of the various discourses of the program.Also, the only stabilized and obstructed signifier of discourse is culture.Extremism, illegality, interference, lack of media responsibility, consequentialism, transgressing, lack of education, bad infrastructure, discrimination, not being pragmatic and not caring about people were considered as participants' discourse moments. These moments formed the participants’ discourse and program discourse order in an equality sequence. Finally, weak bureaucracy, ambiguity in reasoning, disregarding to people and their lives, simplifying the event, lack of serious dealing and single-factor point of view were adil ferdowsi pour’s discourse moments. In addition, on the subject of symbolic violence, while the program criticizes violence and discrimination against women and dominates male discourse, acts as an anti discourse unintentionally, and because of using the word "women soccer" becomes a tool for reproducing male dominance in football.
