Abstract
Place semiotics is the explanation and interpretation of symbolic concepts and meanings of place that connect cultural, historical, and emotional associations to a specific discourse space. Through the experiences, memories, and narratives we create, places are mixed with different meanings and sometimes they create influential identities in the field of knowledge. One of the influential texts of Persian mystical literature, which is rich and prominent in terms of containing codes and spatial symbols, is the sonnets of Shams, which has been analyzed by thematic content analysis method in this research. By studying the signs and symbols used in Rumi's lyrics, along with their placement in specific places and spaces, one can understand the meanings intended by the poet and the broad themes of his intellectual system. The analysis shows that many places in Shams's sonnets have gone beyond the physical and objective location features and have reached symbolic transcendence. The network narration in many spatial signs of Ghazal, during a conversation that induces mystical hints, brings the audience into a discourse action, which due to aesthetic manifestations, images, rhetorical tricks, fluidity, and displacement of place causes the emergence of new meanings, works very effectively.
