Abstract
Analysis of the Semiosphere in Wadih Sa'adeh’s Poetry Collection Al-Miyah Al-Miyah Based on Yuri Lotman’s Theory
Abstract
An isolated analysis of signs does not yield comprehensive results. It is essential to examine signs within broader, universal contexts for more effective outcomes. In this regard, the theory of the semiosphere by the Russian theorist Yuri Lotman is worthy of attention and analysis. According to this theory, all signs are interconnected and are reproduced within a specific, limited cultural and abstract space. This sphere enables a correct analysis of signs and creates coherence within the literary text itself, providing a suitable framework for the precise analysis of literary works. Rejection, differentiation, and absorption are the three main components of this theory, which examines how signs are formed and lead to the creation of a semiosphere. This article employs a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the poem Al-Miyah Al-Miyah by Lebanese poet Wadih Sa'adeh based on this theory, aiming to analyze the semiosphere formed within the work and its role in creating discourse and meaning. The results indicate that the poet has rejected abstract elements from his semiosphere, erased the boundaries between himself and nature and water, and attempted to convey an environmental discourse by absorbing elements of nature
