Abstract
In the process of modernizing societies, numerous cultural elements, roles, and social structures undergo changes and transformations. These transformations are influenced by the form and structure of societies, the type and function of elements, and the way social roles are understood and confronted within the context of modernity. The Bakhtiari society, characterized by its traditional structure within Iranian society, has witnessed rapid changes and transformations in recent decades. These changes impact various tribal and familial structures, relationships between social roles, customs, and traditions. By conducting field studies and research, as well as examining literature and art as manifestations of the broader culture of the society under investigation, valuable insights can be gained through sociological investigations of these transformations. This research undertakes an analysis and examination of two screenplays, The Skier (Ski-Baz) and The Twelfth Team-mate, (Yar-e-Davazdahom) directed by Fereydoun Najafi, from a sociological perspective through Anthony Giddens' theory. Giddens delineates four essential components of traditions, which serve as a framework for the analysis. The research findings illustrate that both screenplays, The Skier and The Twelfth Team-mate embody the four components of tradition from Giddens' perspective. In Bakhtiari society, traditions have not vanished but instead endured as they are cherished and safeguarded by individuals. According to Giddens, these traditions are deeply embedded in the group's identity (Bakhtiari tribe) and are constantly reasserted across various domains.
