بررسی تجربه زیستۀ مهاجرت و استعلای معناییِ سوژه در رمان «الحیّ اللاتینی» از منظر نشانه‌شناسی بُوِشی

From its inception, semiotics has continually sought new anchor points of meaning, wherein meaning is never fixed, unipolar, or determinate; rather, it is always a site of doubt, displacement, and generativity.
