Abstract
The
present paper, from a sociological perspective, aims to study the proverb in
novels taking Social Participation as one of the factors of social
capital in Bahmanyari's novels. Proverbs as the internal voice of each nation
are seen as the reflection of the most hidden agenda of the people's lives as
well as a reliable source for the studies on anthropology, sociology and
psychology. The research Social Participation in proverbs as a part in
the popular culture can make us aware of the amount of the reflection of the Social
Participation aspects in traditional societies and have an influential
effect on the facilitation of purposeful actions in the today's society.

among different factors of social capital, Social Participation is
considered as one of the most intensive social and ethical issues in
traditional societies. Participation after trust is the second factor that is
repeated in the novel and with bilateral indices it is divided into two-way
participation, the other side participation, obligatory participation,

Abstract
The
present paper investigates the difference kind of cultural consumption among
metropolitan, urban, and rural communities. Using the statistical data of a
national survey, authors compare the cultural taste of people who live in the
villages, cities, and metropolitans. In this regard, we consider the kind of
cultural consumption in society with structural approaches and individualizing
reasoning in order to get the results.
The
study is based on consistency approach belongs to Piere Bourdieu, since that
his theory due to stress on socializing special groups in lifetime and the
effect of environment and family origin on people’s taste selections can
explain the difference of cultural consumption pattern in above- mentioned
three.
With
regard to the findings and achieving to definite patterns, it cannot be said
that cultural life style has been individualized in Iran society since that by
individualization of a behavior in a scope, finding the pattern in that scope
becomes difficult. Also the differences show that our society is not a mass one
with a same culture. So Ulrich Beck theory and Frankfurt school view are not
confirmed referring to the findings of this research. And According to Piere
Bourdieu theory the life style, in our society, is still affected by society
structures.
