  Family Anarchology and Anarchopathology:(7/10)  Family as the Birthplace and Tomb of Anarcocracy  ✍️ Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbehan Translation and assistance by ChatGPT Mechanisms for Transition from a Dominating Family to a Liberating Family The family is the first social arena where an individual encounters the logic of power, obedience, or freedom. For this reason, analyzing the family is not merely a psychological or educational matter but a deeply social, political, and cultural issue.

  Family Anarchology and Anarchopathology: (6/10) Family as the Birthplace and Tomb of Anarcocracy  ✍️ Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbahan Translated with the assistance of ChatGPT ☑️ Mechanisms of Transition from the Authoritarian Family to the Emancipatory Family ✅ Family as the Dialectical Field of Freedom and Domination The analysis of family requires a dialectical perspective.

The child’s experience here transcends learning literacy, mathematics, or science; what is truly at stake is his or her confrontation with structures of power. In its traditional form, the school functions as a reproducer of hierarchical order, stretching from the principal and teachers down to the students. Thus, the...

The central research question is: Why has Iranian culture, despite its rich historical resources, remained trapped in the continual reproduction of authoritarianism and cultural stagnation? And how does cultural authoritarianism transform into an authoritarian culture? Within this framework, “cultural authoritarianism” is understood not merely as a cultural, social, or political phenomenon but as a deeply effect...
