The forward research focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the representation of daily life in the Instagram pages of married women lifestyle influencers during the first four months of the pandemic in Iran. The research question explores how the quarantine period is represented in the pages of these influencers, and researchers have attempted to analyze the discursive nature of the COVID-19 virus in these pages. Lifestyle influencers on Instagram are among the most popular narrators of daily life and, due to their access to authoritative resources, have a significant capacity for signification of phenomena. In this research, the narrative methods of virtual daily life during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on Riessman's narrative analysis theory, have been studied, and the research methodology is qualitative and based on virtual ethnography. Using narrative analysis techniques, the data, consisting of posts from lifestyle influencers, have been processed, and various strategies for narrating family life during the quarantine period have been analyzed at two thematic and structural levels. In the first section, "Cyborg Women as Quarantine Narrators," the findings have been thematically analyzed, and four genres have been identified: "Fantasy Construction of Corona," "Multiplicative Discourse of Motivation," "Pre-Corona Nostalgia," and "Medicalizing Everyday Life." In the second section, the findings have been structurally analyzed in relation to the interplay between images and text in the posts and the mechanisms of influencers' impact. Two genres have been identified: "Platform Rotation" and "Strategies for Mitigating Influential Challenges."

Chastity and veil are Religious orders that acquaintance of individuals with their criteria and patterns of them take place in process of their religious socialization. In this process, people understand the content and meaning of these doctrines and use them in the situations and interactions of their everyday lives. Chador as the preferred hijab in Islam is a cultural phenomenon in the field of women's clothing that has been shown over the years in IRIB. Choosing this cover, including in social relationships is usually a sign of a person's commitment to religious principles. This research seeks to answer this question that how chastity indicators have been represented in Chadori women of TV series's, in the years after the Islamic Revolution? In this regard, at first these indicators derived from Islamic law and then analyzed in all Chadori women in 40 most viewed Iranian TV series. Accordingly, a total of 107 Chadori characters from these series have been selected and studied. . SPSS software and descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square test) were used to analyze the data. Findings of the research indicate that in the years after the Islamic Revolution, Chadori women, despite choosing the superior hijab, have not followed the criteria of Islamic chastity in their interaction with men. The way they communicate, look and talk with men, also their obvious adornment, hair and body in facing men, have no significant difference with the women who have another kind of covers.
