    NARRATIVE SEMIOTICS AND THE CITY: THE PLACE OF THE CONCEPT OF 'CITY' IN ITALO CALVINO'S INVISIBLE CITIES
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2021) Kalelioğlu, Murat
    The significant element is the subject of enunciation −author− considering literature and practice of writing. The author struggles to combine images via language and generates a semantic universe throughout the process in the system of literature. This universe is generated with systematic sequences of signs. The artwork, which has been qualified as being a specific message, turns into a sign just as Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities (1972) is analyzed by the end of that generative process. The theme of the narrative is the image of happy cities, which have been lost in distorted and unhappy ones. In this way, the subject of enunciation establishes a link between symbolic cities and real cities, and he makes a tangible reference to the realities of urban life. The author of enunciation builds the semantic universe of the narrative on the dichotomy of happy and unhappy cities. These cities, where cultural exchange is realized, are described as a clearing place of desires and memories and are the protagonist of the narrative rather than the decor. Through the study, a semiotic analysis of how the meaning generation process is structured will be carried out by adhering to the theme of the narrative. Also, the place of the ‘city’ concept in Calvino’s narrative will be questioned.
