Abstract
Fariba Wafi is a successful writer who described the family and social life of contemporary Iranian women and bringing them into the real-life stories trying to show their problems. This research is an attempt to investigate Fariba Wafi's collection of short stories Even when We Laugh by following Fairclough's approach to critical discourse analysis. In Fiarclough's approach, a text is checked on three different levels. The three levels are: 1. The description level, which is based on formal analysis, grammar, vocabulary, pronouns, verbs and adverbs modality; 2. The interpretation level of the text, which is based on situational context and analyzes the intertextual factors; and 3. Explanation level that explains the production of texts and the dominant discourse and ideology and power play in the text. Discussing the text of the stories on all three levels reveal the following points: 1. Description and use of the words "wife" and "husband" and frequency indicative verbs and adverbs reflect the author's commitment to the truth of the prepositions of the story 2. The frequency of the pronoun "we" reflects the author's identification with all women. 3. In the interpretation of this collection, she questions the living conditions of women under the influence of feminist writers, such as Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir 4. In the explanation, it is clear that the women's stories depend on the patriarchal power of men. Although in Wafi’s short stories, women live in today's world and apparently are freed from the shackles of traditional society, in reality they are under the dominance of the psychological and male-dominated society and the patriarchic traditions, so that their identity depends on the presence of a man like husband, brother, and the like.

Abstract
The story of “ An overly woman” is one of the nine short stories of a story with the same title, which was first published at the time of the life of Jalal Al Ahmad, a contemporary author in 1331. The focus of all the stories of this collection are the women and the author criticizes their disasters and problems. This article studies the story of “An overly woman” from this collection from the viewpoint of the Deconstruction Criticism. The Deconstruction Criticism was based on the theory of Jacques Derrida (1930- 2004), the philosopher and the French theorist. This critique was first used in philosophy and then in literary critique. The basis for the Deconstruction Criticism is finding binary and hidden oppositions in the text; because by discovering these contrasts, you can find the secret and internal layers of the text. According to Jacques Derrida, intra-textual oppositions are hierarchical and staircase, and are preferred over the other, but studding the text, it is ultimately determined that none binary oppositions are preferred over the other and they actually complement each other. The Deconstruction Criticism is based on the review of accepted defaults and deconstructing of the textual contrasts. It delves whatever the reader should know into the text itself. Conflict in the story of “An overly woman” is between man and man in terms and man / woman in particular. After studding binary oppositions in the text and identifying hostile forces, it turns out that, contrary to what it is seemed in the early reading, the top pole in the text, which has formed the internal challenge of the text is not the wicked man against the oppressed woman, but two oppositions alongside each other form the story.

Abstract
Proverbs are a cultural tool that, due to their compactness and special phonetic and literary patterns, can destroy the intellectual resistance of the audience and impose a kind of conceptual and expressive tyranny on them. The cultural semiotics of Persian proverbs shows that gender discrimination and reducing the status of women is rooted in cultural standards and norms. In many proverbs, women are considered "other and marginal" and men are considered "self and center". Using analytical, descriptive and qualitative methods, this article criticizes a number of gender proverbs with emphasis on cultural semiotics in order to show, along with pathology, that the dual opposition of "man" and "woman" How has it influenced and caused components such as "patriarchy", "marriage", "reproduction", "appearance beauty", "male economy", "mental strength", "leadership and management" etc. So that the woman is placed in the "margin" and the man in the "center" of the cultural text. The cultural semiotic analysis of proverbs shows the fact that being a "woman" is a product of patriarchal ideology; A thought that consciously seeks to be the "other" woman. This thinking removes women from the social scene with hidden control and repression and seeks their "symbolic annihilation".
