Abstract Most of Iran’s urban population experienced the war with Iraq (1980–1988) through the burden of privation and the fear of possible airstrikes. Thus, state-produced media on national television became the main apparatus through which they connected their daily lives to the national conflict. Ravayat-e Fath [The Narrative of Triumph] was one docudrama, comprised of five seasons that the state produced at different intervals between 1984 and 1987. Although Ravayat-e Fath has been presented and received as a journalistic work, it enters the realm of fiction to fulfill its objective: To recruit soldiers. Through a collage of mythical stories, epic narratives, dramatic cinematography, mourning songs accompanied by reports from war fronts, and live interviews with soldiers, the series tells a story of a promised triumph through martyrdom. Through studying Ravayat-e Fath, the most important state-supported television production of the Iran-Iraq war era, this article investigates the ways in which war propaganda in general, and the concept of martyrdom in particular, generated tools like shaming to control the population during and after the war.

红色死亡与黑色生活:媒体,难与耻辱

摘要伊朗的大多数城市人口都经历了与伊拉克的战争(1980年至1988年),这是由于他们的经济负担和对空袭的恐惧。因此,国家电视台上的国有媒体成为他们将日常生活与民族冲突联系起来的主要手段。Ravayat-e Fath [胜利的叙事]是一部纪录片,由国家在1984年至1987年之间的不同间隔制作的五个季节组成。尽管Ravayat-e Fath作为新闻工作被介绍和接受,但它进入了以下领域:小说以实现其目标:招募士兵。通过神话故事,史诗般的叙事,戏剧性的电影摄影,哀悼的歌曲以及战前的报道以及对士兵的现场采访,该系列讲述了一个通过through道而获胜的故事。
