Abstract

A major concern in the last few years has been the fact that the Cultural Centers are keeping distance with what they have been established for, and instead of reproducing the hegemony, they have turned into a place for resistance and reproduction of resistance against hegemony. Cultural Centers, as urban public spaces in the last two decades, have been the subject of ideological discussions and debates. In such spaces, consumption is not just limited to the utilization of programs in cultural centers, but the consumption of Cultural Center’s spaces prevail the consumption of activities and programs in these Cultural Centers. Such consumption is associated with the introduction of several social and cultural definitions. The main purpose of this study is to identify the application and implications of the Cultural Centers for the youth in Tehran and the motivations and functions resulting from the consumption of these spaces. The study uses the method of basic theorization for the data collection and analysis. For this purpose, 25 of clients in Bahman, Shafagh, Honar, Kar, Quran and Eshragh Cultural Centers located in Tehran have been the subjects of in-depth interview. Totally, the results of this study show that Cultural Centers are a part of rites of transition to the adulthood for the youth of Tehran. They satisfy many of the needs related to their age, and in one word, they draw their own painting on the canvass of this public space. The Present study is going to describe and elaborate the painting patterns and interference in and intervention with the public space of the Cultural Centers. In this study, Cultural Center is considered as a context and its several implications for the users of this space are analyzed.
