Discursive semiotics is an innovative approach to text analysis that uncovers complex layers of meaning by examining the relationships between signs, discourse, and context. This approach, in addition to analyzing the structure of the text, emphasizes semantic interactions and the role of linguistic and non-linguistic elements in meaning production. The Quran, with its rich semantic content and linguistic complexity, provides a suitable framework for applying this approach, enabling a deeper understanding of its discursive and semantic dimensions.
This study analyzes verse 259 of Surah Al-Baqarah from the perspective of discursive semiotics, aiming to explore representations of concepts such as collapse, divine re-creation, wonder, and faith. The central question of this research is: How can a multi-layered and dynamic narrative of human interaction with divine power in verse 259 be revealed through discursive and semiotic dimensions? This investigation seeks to provide an experience that, beyond its apparent meaning, offers a deeper and more sensory connection for the audience.
The research method is qualitative-analytical, based on the discursive semiotics approach. In this method, the verse is deconstructed into various semantic layers, and the relationships between these layers are analyzed in the process of meaning production and their impact on the audience.
The results demonstrate that this verse, through the combination of discursive and semantic layers, creates a foundation for uncovering hidden meanings and establishing a deeper connection with the audience.

Aims: This research deals with the delicacies and complexities of recreating the historical cemeteries of cities. In this regard, it tries to know the obvious, hidden dimensions, layers and components in the deep levels of perception by reviewing lived experiences.
Methods: This research is qualitative and has a phenomenological approach. In this way, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted in Kusenbach's innovative method and in five axes, and also supplementary questionnaires were distributed to record, receive and analyze the meanings of the lived experiences of the landscape visitors.
Findings: The lived experiences of historical landscape cemeteries were studied in five axes: "Reference, ideal image, activity, improvement and mental dimensions" and showed that historical cemeteries have multidimensional qualities and a great variety, multiplicity and complexity in the perceptual layers.
Conclusion: If the role of the cemetery is reduced to the necessary urban infrastructure and becomes only a place for burying the bodies, then the connection between the world of the living and the dead is cut off, and turning it into a landfill for urban waste outside the city. Because of having valuable structures and elements, originality and hidden values that show the interaction of culture and nature over time, and these values preserve the identity and collective memories and historical memory of society, the protection of the historical landscape is very sensitive. Therefore, it is impossible to re-read these features in the re-creation of the cemetery without analyzing the deep perceptual layers hidden in the soul of this place.

This paper discusses the prominent position of Arnold's cultural adaptation of the compelling story of Rustam & Sohrab in Shahnameh in the Victorian literary poly-system in England.  According to the poly-system theory as proposed by Even-Zohar, the translated literature can typically have primary /central and/or peripheral/marginal positions in the target culture, depending on whether the target culture is young, weak, or in crisis.  Meantime, the faithful translation of Shahnameh seems to occupy the peripheral position in English translation, but Arnold’s adaptation has typically exceeded  the adaptive effect and obtained the proper position in the literary poly-system of the Victorian.  This paper aims to peruse how Arnold's cultural adaptation of Shahnameh’s passionate story has marked a primary position in the English literary poly- system of the Victorian era. To this aim, Firstly, Arnold's position as an interpreter/adaptor is sketched out. Then, having compared Arnold’s adaptation with the primary sources to which Arnold has typically had access to become familiar with the Persian native story, mention is reasonably made of the marked differences between the two Persian and English literary poetics under the umbrella of poly-system theory as proposed by Even-Zohar. Due to the innovative way (s) Arnold has uniquely adapted, recreated, and re-written the native story with specific regard to the peculiar features of the literary tradition of the Western poetics, it seems that the local story of Shahnameh has  found the prime position in the Western literary poetics of the Victorian.
