Makale özeti ve diğer detaylar.
The art of story is a form of narrative that is not independent from its creator, namely the narrator, and created within the theme fictionalized by its narrator. When the work is created, it is the reader’s turn to interpret and give meaning to it. The reader’s duty is to reinterpret, transform the structures in the text and themes as well as unveiling the meaning connections between those. Semiology derived from Ancient Greek word semeion meaning sign and logos meaning science is known as science of signs in Turkish. Two people should be mentioned as founders of Semiology. These are Charles Sanders Peirce and Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. Saying “Although the universe is not entirely made up of signs, it overflows with signs”, Peirce expresses that all objects can be subject of Semiology. The goal of this study is to analyze Mustafa Kutlu’s story titled “Beyhude Ömrüm” according to the Greimas’ analysis method of actants model. A.J. Greimas argues that an incident starting the story and an element transforming the initial status are required for creating the narrative. The study divided the story into five sections by considering that the said incident and transforming elements are available. The sections confirmed that six actants of the actants model are available; manipulation, competence and performance of narrative routine as well as stages of sanction routine are available and the subjects of actants model realized competence, conclusive and honorable experiences. Besides, it is seen that using the expression “I died” is not an appropriate form of narrative used by the author telling the story as a narrator using pronoun I.
