سيميائية الألوان في فضاء رواية وسمية ما بين نهرين

Abstract EN

This research sought to clarify the semiotic colors contained in the expanse that is the “Wasmiya between two rivers” novel, by its author, Reem Al-Failakawi.

The research sought to determine the relationship of the signifier with the signified, and it was found that the context is what determines that relationship.

The research was then directed to clarify the meaning of (the expanse of the novel) and to indicate its types.

This was followed by an inventory of the colors that influenced the expanses of the novel, after which the research proceeds to interpret the symbolism these colors hold and their connotations in different contexts.

The study relies on the descriptive-analytical approach in observing the phenomenon and attempting its interpretation through the narration whose events began in Kuwait, with events evolving in Egypt, then in a European nation.

The novel details of the life of a mother and daughter who face torment in their married life.

The research was pursued in two fields, one theoretical and the other applied.

It emerges that the novelist, Reem Al-Failakawi, nurtured the accurate storyline of the colors of all the elements of the narration, and the different expanses of the novel was a beneficiary of a large part of that description.

By comparing the research literature that has been concerned with monitoring the connotations of colors in different texts, the semiotic coloration of this novel, it was found that the context contributed to the production of semiotics of colors that these pieces of research did not refer to, and it was also found that the colors of geographical expanse have contributed least to highlighting the aggravation of events in the novel when compared to other spaces: the textual expanse, the semantic expanse, and the expanse that represents the narrator's ideology.
