        Images of God are the result of the efforts of the human mind to understand better the mysterious and sacred existence.One of the most prominent images of God in the infinite range of human imagination is the "God of the Farmer" from whom we can call God's action in agriculture. This image, inside of the images of the realm of herbages makes the aspect of God's action in creation objective and tangible.God's activity in agriculture in texts that contain images for God, despite its dynamic presence, has undergone several changes. The present article has been reviewed this image in mythology, sacred texts and mysticism with a descriptive-analytical method and with the approach of metaphorical analysis. In mythology, the creation of God in the work of the goddess of fertility and the god of plant death is explained in the form of the rotation of seasons. In the sacred texts, this action is assigned to Ahuramazda, Yahweh, the God of the Father and Allah, in accordance with the context of each text, and in mysticism, this action is depicted in a diverse and comprehensive way with human focus.The results of the study showed; this image has passed a rotational journey from nature outside to nature within man and from objective nature to nature. In addition, the expansion of God's authority and dominion over the world and man is one of the things that can be seen in the transformation of this image. Manuscript profile

        In the novel "Tubaa and Manaay-e shab", the confrontation of tradition and modernity in the contemporary history of Iran in relation to the status of women is in the focus.In this paper, the female characters of this novel,especially the novel’s heroine, Toubaa, have been analyzed from the perspective of agency or passivity in relation with tradition andit has been shown that the desire for women autonomy and activism is suppressed through the processes of education and punishment.This paper is in the field of critical discourse analysis and its theoretical framework has been driven from Simone de Beauvoir’s views on femininity in her book, "The Second Sex", and the textual analysis has been done based on systemic-functional linguistics.The achievements of this research show that in this novel the contrasting pair of agency and passivity is represented in relation to the duality of tradition and modernity,and the process that Beauvoir calls "learned passivity" is institutionalized in the existence of women from childhood by the agents of tradition, in various social institutions, the most important of which is the family.Also, textual analysis indicates that this passivity has been best reflected in the language of the text.
