| description | This study uses the semiotic method to analyze Cahit Zarifoğlu’s (1974) multilayered story İns [Humans]. The story uses the cinematographic technique to form layers of meaning, symbols, and oppositions in an attempt to explain the depicted historical journey of humankind. The study uses the semiotic method to reveal the structure of the story through its basic oppositions, themes, and transformations. The narrative level of the story is analyzed first. Under this heading, the article explains the story’s segmentations, transformations, phases of the narrative schedule, and prototype of the actants. The study then analyzes the story’s discursive level, categorizing the roles of the narrative before providing detailed information about how the narrative uses symbolic references, with the tools of semiotics being used to analyze these usages. The study finishes by analyzing the logico-semantic level. This section states the logico-semantic level of the story to have been formed along the axes of hakîqat [truth] and ghiz [secret]. This axis was shaped by the opposites of meaning and lack of meaning and of being language deprived and not being language deprived. Resolutely, the article states the story to deal with the historical journey of humanity through the use of intense symbolic references, where the attempt has been made to express this process through human beings’ construction of meaning with regard to existence, ultimately along the axes of hakîqat and ghiz. The character İns attains understanding (i.e., wahdat [unity]) by acquiring the ability of language. |
