This article examines the representation of political violence in Iran after the Islamic Revolution (1979-1982) from the perspective of the three main ideologies of that period, namely Islamism, Marxism, and liberalism. The main aim of this study is to analyze how political violence is represented in political speeches based on these ideologies. Data were collected through documentary study and analysis of publications related to each of the ideologies. The analysis method includes examining James Paul Gee's seven building tasks of language (Significance, Identities, Relationships, Activities, Connections, Politics and Sign Systems and Knowledge). The findings show that the representation of political violence by the main ideologies of this period was based on justification/denunciation of political violence within the framework of legitimate violence/illegitimate violence by Islamists, the authenticity and necessity of violence in line with historical evolution by Marxists, and non-violence by liberals. The study of the representation of political violence in the context of the ideologies of this period led us to the overarching concept of revolutionary violence. In the post-revolutionary period, each of the ideologies played different roles in creating the violent situation of that period. The Islamists through revolutionary institutions, the Marxists through armed struggle, and the liberals through insufficient efforts for a peaceful transition all played their part in shaping this situation.
