Many scholars believed that the current cinema studies has reduced to a simplistic cultural critique. But at now we have a great legacy of the works in the cultural and cinematic studies outside of the western main tendency , without have attracted any necessary and appropriateattention towards their nature and identity. This unfair neglecting mentioned above reminded to us the necessity for renewed focus and attention thecurrent cinematic resistance flows against the western mainstream. In the recent years, the de-westernizing of film studies approach as a novel method for standing towards the western cinematic hegemony, have taken into consideration from many of the world cinematic theorists and thinkers. The De-westernizing approach nowise means the complete denial, negation and rejection of the western cinematic`s forms, genres, products, thought, critics or even the ideological aspects of them, but simultaneously with respecting and regards to the values of the classic cinema studies(of the west), warns to the need of moving beyond the west mainstream and refused from the prevalent and common dichotomy of West/Other This article that is based on analytical-descriptive method and was conducted by using of library resources, seeking to illustrated how the de-westernizing approach as a new and novel method defined its targeting and purpose as the decentralization from the west, and not excommunication of the west or relocation of the central signifiers and the focuses.

The main object of the present thesis is to understand the representation of the "Second Wife" in Iranian cinema in the past two decades. To achieve this goal, we have overwied the theoretical concepts of representation and cinema as a medium of representation.We used qualitative analysis and semiology technic in this thesis. Based on the pattern of Selby and Cowdory we have analyzed the technical codes. The refrences and implications in the movies have been found by Barthes narrative codes. By focusing on these patterns, which were tried in four films: "Shokaran", "Zan-e Dovom", "Pato zamin nazar" and "zandegi-e khosousi" that have been choosen on purpose; the second wife character has been analyzed. And the cinematic representation and the stereotypes of the second wife is revealed.By results of this study it can be said that the stereotypes like "find emotional support", "modern woman", "divorced woman", "seduction", " guiltless and innocence", "solitude", "motherhood", "religion", "secret relationship" and "dishonor" are the major stereotypes were raised in these films. In these film the second wife, though often initially appeared as a seductive and glamorous woman, gradually is seeking for being a real wife and start a family.Finally in representation of second wife in relationship we assumed that the second wife is guilless and innocent. In second marriage we blame the married man for starting the relationship.

The present paper aims to study the concept of celebritization after the Internet and examine the effects of new virtual media in changing the meaning of stardom. Studying a local case and considering the meaning of celebritization and superstars in a movie from different perspectives we tried to study the role of the Internet and virtual spaces in transforming the meaning of a cinema superstar. In a qualitative research we approached the study from a cultural studies perspective and used semiotics as the method. The results indicate that cinema celebrities have made a considerable change by directly interacting with the audiences. Also sharing personal photos by celebrities have made a considerable change in the way people perceive the meaning of stardom. Celebrity making which used to be a process in the hands of mass media is now affected by the actors themselves. In fact, post-internet stardom is the new meaning of stardom.
