Background and Objective: In the realm of contemporary rapid cultural, media, and cognitive transformations, safeguarding the cultural identity of societies — especially against discursive conflicts and rival civilizational models — has become a crucial issue in cultural governance. Under these circumstances, "cultural defense" is not merely a confrontation with overt threats; rather, it is a strategic and future-oriented concept that, by preserving the foundations of identity and values, strengthens the capacity for meaning-making, cognitive resilience, and social hope. The present research aims to identify the dimensions and requirements of a cultural defense model based on the Second Phase of the Revolution Statement, and seeks to explain the conceptual capacity of this statement for designing a coherent and efficient model in the field of cultural defense.
Methods:
In terms of purpose, this research is applied-developmental, and in terms of nature, it is qualitative, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through library studies, review of upstream documents, relevant theoretical sources, and conceptual content analysis of the Second Phase of the Revolution Statement.
Findings: The cultural defense model based on this statement can be formulated into six dimensions:1)Identity-civilizational.2)Epistemological-doctrinal. 3)Educational-generational. 4)Media-cognitive. 5)Social-popular. 6)Managerial-governance. These dimensions, in a networked connection, enable the transition from passive and purely negative approaches to an active, positive, future-oriented, and people-based approach.
Conclusions: Translating the macro concepts of the statement into indicators, policies, and executive mechanisms can provide a strategic foundation for redesigning the country's cultural defense system and strengthening the identity resilience of society.
