| description | Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh is among the texts in Persian literature that can be explored based on the semiotic systems as it has a mythical substructure and has many symbols. In many parts of this book, the reader faces a variety of events which are manifested in the form of a semiotic system. The Mourning ceremonies are among the events of Shahnameh that could be investigated from a semiotic perspective. The present study aims at investigating these mourning ceremonies from a semiotic perspective. Relying on some evidence from other classic texts, the authors wants to show that the actions during the ceremonies have mythological substructures and are symbolically reflected. Each of these actions refer to a meaning which once was functional but today is only reflected in tribal and nomadic life and in general culture. Examples of these actions are wearing black, doffing the hat from head, pulling hair, pouring soil on head and pulling mane and tail of heroes’ horses during mourning. When studied together, these actions indicate certain meanings. These meanings are hidden and are not explicitly manifested in the appearance of the texts. |
