Abstract
The semiotic theory of "Umberto Eco" examines the symbolic systems of a text in the historical, social and cultural context of their production, and based on this, the interpretation process of each work is based on the dialectic of the text and the reader.
Works such as "Islam Bela Daffaf" written by Yusuf Idris, a famous Egyptian writer, as a realistic work in which the problems of Egypt and the Islamic world are processed and the situation of Arab countries are presented alongside the hegemonic policies of the West, are a suitable platform for the application of this theory in order to discover hidden angles. It is the effect and presentation of a new reading of it. In Eco's view, the interpretive reading of any sign
is basically a cultural and sensitive issue to the social issue, and its interpretation process should be provided in the historical, social and cultural context of the work and through the dialectic of the text and the reader. Works such as "Islam Bela Zafaf" written by Youssef Idris, as a realistic work that deals with the problems of Egypt and the Islamic world, is a suitable platform for following and discovering signs based on this approach. Based on this, the present research, with a descriptive-analytical method, based on the eco-semiotic approach, investigated the Egyptian character in the research sample and came to the following conclusion: three issues of contamination of value systems, women and their legitimate freedoms, and the ancient civilization and rich culture of Egypt. The main themes of dealing with the Egyptian personality in the book are taunting the reactionary Islamists, the author's way to deal with the dimensions of the Egyptian personality And the discussion of common themes such as the change of value systems in the works of Egyptian thinkers.
