Political discourse and semiotics
(de Gruyter Mouton, 2024) Canakpinar, Betul; Kalelioglu, Murat; Gunay, Veli Dogan; Doğan, Yusuf; Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Plant Protection / Bitki Koruma Bölümü; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
In recent years, semiotics has put "life" at the center of the subject of study. There is the desire to be successful in the lifestyle and the desire to convey the right knowledge to the recipient or the correct use of practices in life. A semiotic theory developed by Jacques Fontanille recently showed that strategy can also be used in semiotic analysis. So, the way of life that Fontanille talks about is not just strategy. The process we call "lifestyle" has an order from small to large: There are basic signs, texts, objects, actants, practices, action phases, strategies, and finally lifestyle. In this study, we question the function of strategy, but generally of productive pursuit, in the analysis of political discourses. In our study, we reveal the approach of semiotics to political discourses that concern the whole world and discuss whether they are valid in every society. We emphasize political semiotics, which is used to understand the general structure of political discourses, and show the general functioning of political discourses with Greimas' Actantial Model. We conclude that politicians can influence target audiences by using various methods and discourse strategies.

NARRATIVE SEMIOTICS AND THE CITY: THE PLACE OF THE CONCEPT OF 'CITY' IN ITALO CALVINO'S INVISIBLE CITIES
(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2021) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
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.

A narratological analysis of O. Henry's "the ransom of red chief"
(NALANS: Journal of Narrative and Language Studies, 2020) Büyükkarcı, Orhun; Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
The studies within the frame of classical narratology have remarkably contributed to the field of narrative analysis. The significance of the present study is to raise awareness of constructive elements of a narrative using classical narrative analysis. This study aims at investigating character, time and space in O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief", using the narratological terminologies in the analysis. Considering the current situation of narratology as a method of analysis that involves many approaches towards a high number of aspects in a narrative, the study focuses on the essential constructive elements of the story and point of view. The employs the theoretical terminologies offered by classical narratologists. Findings in the study fall into two categories: Narration and narratorial position of the narrator, and formative elements of the story. These categories present three essential formative components, (a) Characters and characterization, (b) space, and (c) time. The data gathered from the findings indicated that O. Henry's achievement might lean on the prevalence of a reliable narrator using discourse time more for the narration of incidents between the characters than that of others in specific types of space with humoristic style as well as situational and verbal irony. This study allows for critical implications both on the readers who wish to understand O. Henry better and on the researchers calling for an increase in the number of narrative studies.

Semiotics and political discourse in the post-truth era
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2024) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Kalelioğlu, Murat; Günay, V. Doğan; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
The concept of post-truth has been on the world’s agenda since 2016. Perhaps this concept, which is frequently encountered in political life, provides the speaker with a freer speaking platform. Politicians, instead of presenting the reality to their constituents as it is, want to reshape this reality according to their own ideology and present it to the recipient. Politicians have certain objectives in creating such a virtual reality. These aims can be listed as keeping the voters, increasing the voting potential, and attracting undecided voters to their favor. The common result of all these aims is to gain political power or to remain in the existing power. Post-truth reality is constructed relatively more easily in social media environments. The construction of reality can be through beliefs or emotions. In such ways, the recipient is tried to be persuaded, and thus behavioral change is achieved. One of the most necessary subjects for this artificial reality atmosphere is the anti-subject. The idea that the anti-subject does not know the truth that we (you and I) know and believe and is trying to destroy it is the main theme of post-truth discourse. Politicians try to persuade the voters to believe in their own truth by expressing this idea to them. There are many examples of this around the world. In this study, firstly, the concept of post-truth is examined and its various definitions are discussed. The distinctions between the concepts of real and truth are analyzed and then it is explained how and for what purposes the concept of post-truth is used in politics. Following the comparison of post-truth and fake news, the concept is discussed within the framework of sender-receiver interaction in terms of communication. The concept is tried to be elucidated with the modalities such as /convincing/, /believing/, /being/, /appearing/. Besides, using the semiotic square, the study also tries to reveal the different purposes and forms of use of the concept of post-truth. As a result, it has been observed that the concept of post-truth is effective in many areas of contemporary societies, and rather than real information, expected and desired information has become more important.

Latmos: A semiotic view on the subject's role in the sustainability of natural and cultural values
(Semiotica, 2023) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
Along with the developments in social, scientific, and technological fields, today’s conditions are constantly changing and becoming much more complex. Humans must keep pace with the rapidly changing world, meet requirements, and solve various problems encountered with minimal damage. One of the most crucial obligations is to preserve the delicate balance between nature and culture to make it sustainable for humanity. This study is carried out pursuant to semiotics with an interdisciplinary perspective dealing with the relation of culture with nature and the role of humans, as a subject, in this relation regarding both natural and cultural heritages of Latmos. The study examines the subject’s acts and possible influences on nature, culture, and society in the region. It is seen that there is an uphill battle between two different subjects; the reason for this is a conflict of interest encountered on individual and social planes. On the one hand, one of the subjects is aware of the positive effects of preserving natural and cultural values on society and its future. On the other hand, another subject is unaware of all these or is aware of them but ignores natural and cultural values and destroys them for the sake of self-interest.
Analysis of Duha Kocaoglu Deli Dumrul Narrative within the Framework of Literary Semiotics
(Turkish Studies: International Periodical for the Languages, Literature, and History of Turkish or Turkic, 2018) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Günay, V. Doğan; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
Oral narrative tradition dates back centuries, and it has a great variety of rich culture and colorful motives in literature. Within this cultural wealth, one of the most significant works of art is Dede Korkut narratives accepted as the oldest epic tales belonging to Turks which are the stories that can be shown as the earlier examples of oral literature in Turkish culture. The common point of the tales is to have fantastic expressions. The heroes are Turks, and they usually fight against different actants which can be real or abstract. Moreover, the tales put forward the form of life, moral and cultural values in Turks’ life. Among the tales, one of the most outstanding tales of Dede Korkut is The Story of Delu Dumrul that is read and interpreted in the sense of semiotics. In this study, we handle the struggles and testings of Deli Dumrul as an actant within the context of Paris Semiotic School’s actantial schema. It is a fact that folk tales have some special features such as good is always rewarded while bad is punished. By adhering to the literary semiotics perspective of the school, it is the point of departure of this research to reveal if the situation is valid for this epic tale. At the end of the research, the validity of the general fact belongs to the folk tales stated above is partly actualized in Deli Dumrul narrative. The state of the result in the narrative is solved by taking the support of the supernatural forces and religious values. In this case, the positive ending of the narrative depends on fulfilling the function of both belief and religion positively in the society.
Göstergebilim Kuramının Genel Bir Değerlendirmesi, Türkiye’deki Yeri ve Önemi
(Söylem Filoloji Dergisi, 2021) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
Günümüzde, birçok alanda üretilen anlamlı yapıları çözümleme yetisine sahip olan göstergebilim kuramı, gücünü aldığı temellerden dolayı, dünyanın birçok yerinde üretilen bilimsel çalışmalarla gerek bilimin gerekse günlük yaşamın farklı alanlarına uygulanabilmektedir. Geçmişte sadece nesneleri, olgu ve olayları temsil eden göstergeleri üretmekle sınırlı olan gösterge çalışmaları bugün artık göstergebilim kuramı adı altında eğitim bilimlerinden sağlık bilimlerine, fen bilimleri ve matematikten filolojiye, güzel sanatlardan sosyal ve beşeri bilimlere bilimin değişik alanlarında bilimsel bilgiyi üreten ve üretilen bilgiyi yeniden anlamlandıran bir yöntem hâline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada uluslararası ölçekte akademik çevrelerde kabul gören, kendi gelişimini kendisi destekleyen, diğer bilim dalları ve alt alanlarıyla olan ilişkisinden dolayı farklı dizgeler arasında disiplinlerarası çalışmaların önünü açan çağdaş göstergebilim kuramının genel bir değerlendirmesi yapılmış ve kuramın üretilen çalışmalar çerçevesinde Türkiye’deki yeri ve önemi tartışılmıştır.

Semiotic analysis of the affective domain of discourse: Projection of emotional transformations
(2021) Kalelioğlu, Murat; Department of Translation and Interpreting / Mütercim ve Tercümanlık Bölümü
Literature is one of the most important representations of the artistic field, which is constructed by an extraordinary sequence of verbal and nonverbal signs. Short story is one of the genres of this area in which encountering various kinds of signs is possible through the production process. There are umpteen signs in relation to the attitudes of narrative persons in such stories. In such short story narratives, which are a linguistic message, many indications about the behavior and attitudes of the narrator can be encountered. These indicators are behavioral-emotional indicators that reveal the mood of narrative figures such as joy, enthusiasm, sadness, crying, hugging, and hugging. Nonverbal signs, sometimes, do not make sense alone. However, they are meaningful when they are used in a particular context to support the verbal signs, which displays contribution of the nonverbal signs to the meaning established with the verbal signs. What is significant here is the harmony of using nonverbal signs in conjunction with the verbal ones. If that congruence exists, the produced message becomes stronger and increases its effect; otherwise, the power and impact of the message decrease. Hence, the message becomes meaningless. In this study, how the affective domain of discourse is produced in short stories, and the contribution of nonverbal signs in the construction of meaning and emotional field is investigated. The research is carried out pursuant to the possibilities offered by semiotics of discourse approach, which explores and clarifies the inner world of the subject of enunciation, who produces discourse, the changing mood, and the forms of expressions of the subject in different situations and events in narratives. Throughout the study, affective domain of discourse and the stages of it –affective awakening stage, disposition stage, passional pivot stage, emotion stage, and moralization stage– are examined pursuant to semiotics of discourse approach, elaborated by Jacques Fontanille, who is one of the representatives of Paris School of Semiotics.
