Abstract

In the context of the poststructuralist approach, discourses determine political life and action. From this perspective, political legitimacy is formed in the light of political discourse, and by changing discourses, the semantic and normative system is transformed.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran was an emerging phenomenon that made the approach of political jurisprudence Islam the basis for the creation of a new discourse and semantic system, and in the light of which political legitimacy found a different meaning. The present article seeks to examine and analyze the concept of political legitimacy in this political discourse. The main focus will be on how political legitimacy has been formed in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the sub-discourses derived from this discourse, and what effect the elements of this discourse, especially the elements of "Velayat-e Faqih", "Islamism" and "Iranianness" have had in this process. .
This study tries to examine the formation of the concept of legitimacy as a normative norm in the relationship between judgment and obedience in the framework of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the resulting sub-discourses by adhering to a method rather than ontological to Foucault's genealogical approach and discourse analysis.
