Investigating Spatial Typology in Malakout by Bahram Sadeghi: A semiotic Approach.

One element of the creation of meaning in fiction is the place element. In order for the author to be able to use the element of place as an important tool to construct and reinforce the intended meaning, he reduces the reference and objective meaning of place. Abstract places can be important in some literary genres due to their imaginative and transcendental nature. This article seeks to examine the types of places depicted in the Malakout novel by Bahram Sadeghi in a descriptive-analytical way and with a semiotic-semantic approach. Then, while classifying these places, we will try to answer this question that how much the place element has served to induce the authorchr('39')s intended meanings. The results of this research show that Bahram Sadeghi in his novel has recreated the myth of creation in a creative way and implicitly represents the desperate atmosphere of society in the post-coup period of 28 August 1332 in the mentioned myth. To achieve this goal, he paid special attention to the element of place and Therefore, by using scary and imaginary spaces and by using all kinds of narrative, phenomenal, spiral and transcendental places, it has portrayed the failure, despair and hopelessness of the society.
