خلاصة:
Discourse is a system of interrelated implications in which social trends are formed and the interaction of «Self and» «Other» is constructed and got significant meaning. Semantic structures deal with developing identities and preferences. In any type of discourse، identity and the place of identities، is accomplished to formation of political boundaries which make the establishment of identities in political arena find meaning against the radiacal otherness. The question of this research is how the process of terrorism conceptualization is analyzed by Iranian and American actors. The research hypothesis is that in the Iranian and American actors’ viewpoint to the concept of terrorism، discourse trends in construction of »Self« and »Other« and the view of terrorism play an important role. In fact، the approach to terrorism from the perspective of the two actors is an apparent example of articulation of a phenomenon with discourse trends based on legends and ideals of each actor in constructing «Other» of terrorism. The ideals of each of these two actors as the legendary symbol in identity and discourse of foregn policy، from one hand، can provide national identity and representation of identity and difference، and on the other hand، direct the foreign policy or represent the events and phenomena such as terrorism. The research methodology is based on discourse analysis.
