Abstract
With the victory of the Islamic People's Revolution of Iran, it is significant that the concept of school and worthy student became one of the influential moments in the alignment of friends and enemies of the new system. This research has been done with the aim of understanding the discourse configuration and representation of the concept of a pure revolutionary school in newspapers, Roshd magazines and official speeches (between the years 1358-68). For this purpose, we have selected the texts based on the qualitative sampling of a targeted theme. Also, Fairclough's discourse method and Laclau's and Mouffe's discourse articulation have been used for analysis .The findings show that in the discourse formulation of the pure school until 1363, the sign of the school-revolutionary teenager as the central signifier represents the spirit of revolutionary and authoritarian polarization, Islamic purification, and martyrdom mythologizing of the subject. But from 1363 onwards, simultaneously with the change of the material and social field, we witnessed a change in the coordinates of the central plate towards the weakening of polarization, And we are moving towards the unification of students within the conceptual framework of Imam's children and the post-revolution generation, and bureaucratic standard planning.
