Abstract

The second half of 1401 was full of incidents and protests in Iran. Simultaneously with these protests, many sociologists analyzed these events. The present article is a synthesis of their analyzes ( including 40 lectures in the Iranian Sociological Association and a collection of 46 analytical notes) about these protests. In addition of presenting presenting a profile of the most important topics, a summary of the causes, nature and consequences of these protests from the perspective of analysts has been presented. On the other hand, dominant theories have been used, the distance that each analyst has towards the protests and five theoretical approaches (functionalists, correlationists, cultural interpreters, followers of new life movements and those who give importance to relations and social assemblies) were presented from the set of analyses.

key words: Social movements, protests, Iranian Sociological Association, meta-synthesis method
