Abstract

This article analyzes the transformation of the concept of resistance influenced by the Iranian Islamic Revolution, particularly examining how this revolution, as one of the most significant political events of the twentieth century, has reshaped political and intellectual discourses by introducing a form of resistance based on religion and spirituality. The study employs descriptive-analytical and documentary methods to investigate the redefinition of resistance in theoretical contexts. The findings reveal that the Iranian Islamic Revolution has brought about fundamental changes in the concept of resistance, including the incorporation of religious elements, changes in the concept of liberation, and a focus on transcendence. These changes have led to a fundamental shift in traditional views on resistance,, which paid less attention to religion and spirituality in liberation struggles. The general conclusion is that the Iranian Islamic Revolution has not only contributed to redefining the concept of resistance but has also prominently highlighted the role of religion in global revival and its impact on postcolonial studies. This research, by clarifying these transformations, contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of religion in international relations and social and political resistance, providing a foundation for future research in this field.
