Discursive practices and their necessities; Reflections on M.A theses in social science at Razi University

Conducting a thorough review of the M.A. theses in Sociology and Cultural Studies at Razi University, it seems that we could grasp the idea of how in this system of knowledge production, discursive practices and facts are being articulated and archived. While the way that this articulation of practices works is not different from the commom style of conducting research in humanities in Iranian academia, in this article, the goal is to shed light on the case of Razi University. From our perspective, some peculiar and different kinds of discursive practices, which are being articulated unnecessarily and are even misleading in the system of knowledge production, lead to a special kind of archiving in M.A. theses which is unable both in determining the exceptionality of our experiences and in producing the effective possible knowledge; practices that by neglecting the very necessaries of rules in a new discourse formation, inevitably form "the trauma of missed opportunities" in establishing a well in-depth knowledge as an inseparable part of these discipline's unconscious.
