A discourse which 200 years after it, became the power discourse by the Islamic Revolution formation. Shiite political discourse could reproduce the rules of the discourse after February in 1979, and joined it with the power of that day. But before that, we should find the roots of this discourse in the Safavid period. This study suggests some definitions of sexuality according to Foucault’s theory and then recognizes Shiite jurisprudence as a discourse which its tool is striving. In the next section, the Shiite political discourse in Safavid period will be evaluated. Indeed, this article indicates that sexuality means “a major network of an area in which stimulate the bodies, resonance the pleasures, formation of recognitions and resistors connect to each other, chain-like and according to several strategy of power and knowledge” and appear for the first time in the Shiite jurisprudence discourse in Safavid period, and simultaneous with power of Shiite political discourse, sexuality formed by joining to the power and knowledge. In this study, the ratio of sexuality and Shiite jurisprudence is attempted to review by using 3 concepts of Foucault’s thought namely Discourse, Genealogy and Paleontology, and staying committed to Foucault.
