The significance of emotions in the novels of Inaam Kachachi from a semiological perspective - Tashari's novel as a model

Abstract

 The novel and contemporary narrative criticism, with its various literary, cultural, and semiotic names, have motivated me to study the Iraqi feminist novel, since this novel has an important and prominent presence in the Arab and international narrative narrative scene in general, which required studying it from a very ambiguous angle. The Arab critic is accustomed to studying the significance of the linguistic aspects and what It relates to language and its tools, reveals its deep secrets, and explains multiple reasons for the results expected from its study.

 The tendency to study the themes of the Iraqi narrative in light of the semiological criticism addressed in the novel Tashari by the expatriate Iraqi novelist and journalist Inaam Kachaji, which mainly deals with issues that relate first to the issue of the component The honorable and ancient Christians in Iraq, with the antiquity of its successive civilizations and the liquidation of their existence through a spatial hierarchy, as well as what relates to women and their conflict with men, as well as the issue of alienation and identity conflict in light of the political, cultural, and social fluctuations that Iraq has been exposed to that have touched the Iraqi self, which requires studying all of these phenomena through a systematic approach. Semiological criticism and reliance on sociology as the appropriate approach for such a study.

Semiology, as a critical method, is based on deconstruction, analysis, and synthesis, so that this study methodology results in a semiotic reading based on signs based on signs, symbols, and icons that indicate the manifestations of those emotions (such as love and hate, fear and security, space-time, And personality) represents the arbitrary, contradictory dualities that it represents, partly dealing with what Iraqi society was like in the forties and fifties, until the seventies of the last century.

 This study was conducted in light of the descriptive analytical approach, while the analysis of the texts was in accordance with the semiological approach.

 This study aims to reveal the new concept of emotion in Tashari's novel using the semiological criticism approach. As well as revealing the connotations of emotion, its signs and signs, in Tashari’s novel from the perspective of the semiological criticism approach.
