Abstract

One of the research approaches that examines and analyzes the signs and understanding the hidden meanings in them is the semiotic approach. From this perspective, in order to analyze social phenomena that do not find meaning in themselves, one must pay attention to the cultural structure and network of meanings in which they are located. One of the theorists who proposed a coherent plan for social semiotics was Pierre Girouard. He considers social signs in the two main areas of identity and social etiquette to be examined and analyzed. This research, which is written in a descriptive-analytical method and referring to library sources, tries to rely on Giro's consistent theory and with the approach of social semiotics, the type and manner of appearance of social signs. Analyze and study the space in the novel Gypsy by the Fire, which is a social novel written by Moniro Ravanipour. The results of this article show that Ravanipour in the novel Gypsy by the Fire is an author who uses many symptoms, concerns about social issues and especially concerns about the problems and sufferings of women. Who are trapped in backward and superstitious beliefs. The author's significant use of symbols such as occupational group uniforms, tribal rituals, superstitious and reactionary beliefs, and justice-seeking movements, which are the most important signs to express "The author's objections to social issues have been used, along with various methods of ethnography and non-verbal communication (such as tone, clothing, etc.) to reflect the bitter realities of society and to express specific goals in the form of life descriptions." The mirror is noteworthy. Under the component of "uniform" and in the semantic component of "occupational groups", the author has been able to point out the occupational inequality of women and men among the gypsy tribes. Or in the discussion of the semiotic component of "tribal customs" in the gypsy tribes, education has no place and according to the law of caravans, houses and homes are forbidden for the nomads, there is no meaningful settlement and the gypsy girls in Marriage has no choice
