Abstract

The contemporary era is above all the age of individuality and the subject of identity and self plays an important role in fiction. This distinction is apparent in the literary works of women, as the process of identity formation in women differs from that of males. In fact, the gender identity of the authors of women's works must be taken into account when analyzing their works. One method of analyzing the structures of a narrative text that examines the role of the subject and the relationship of the actants with each other as story actors is the action model proposed by Greimas. Actans have the ability to engage with society or rebel against it by posing identity challenges that are either aligned or non-aligned. The present paper investigates the role of the "subject" and the concept of "communicative identity" or "multi-part self" in the field of women's writing by conducting a descriptive-analytical analysis of Goli Taraghi's short stories and relying on Greimas' opinions. This implies that the subject engages in an interactive relationship with another in order to regain their lost identity. Therefore, in the writing of women, a distinct form of individuality is established, which can be referred to as communicative identity. This implies that women consistently establish their identity in relation to others, and the concept of "other" is crucial to its development.
