From the Naseri period until now, the body has always been the place of disputes, conflicts and competition between social groups, political parties and different discourses in Iran. Despite this, studies of the body in general and the study of the relationship between the political system and the body in Iran in particular is a nascent field that has not received serious attention from academic circles in Iran.

Such a study, in addition to providing an analysis of the approaches, methods, issues, and findings of these studies, and reviewing the weaknesses and strengths of the existing research, can reveal the neglected spaces and fields. In this area, identify and lead to a deeper understanding of the issue of the body as a social and political construct in Iranian modernity. Therefore, relying on the analysis of the content and themes of the sources reviewed in this article, we are looking for a systematic analysis of the problem analysis, theoretical and methodological foundations of the existing studies.
