Abstract

Reading semiotics is a kind of aesthetic activity of texts that creates a work along historical horizons and is influenced by the change of culture and individual experiences of the reader. Literary reading is designed to deepen literary studies and language and literature education. The refatur reading model is one of the new literary approaches that plays a significant role in the field of re-creation, explanation of the function of texts and analysis of meaning. The free perception of the reader in identifying the small kernels and reaching the macrotext as well as the interpretation of the meaning he presents after it forms the basis of this theory. Since the nature of the poem is ungrammatical, these signs are understood through several readings and by discovering the meanings among the signs. Therefore, the present study based on Rifater's semiotics approach has examined two odes called "Hein al-Hussein Nawi al-Salat" and "Reflections on the Night of Ashura" by Jassim Al-Sahih, a contemporary poet of Saudi Arabia, in which more reflection of Ashura culture can be seen. From the findings of the research, it can be concluded that these poems reflect abundantly the teachings of the Ashura uprising. Among the signs of this culture found in the reading of the ode, one can see the permanence of the memory of Imam Hussein (AS) throughout history, the hope of the Imam at the height of despair and difficult circumstances, the expression of the greatness and high position of the Imam,.
