The semiotics of women's clothing in "Dar Chashm-e Baad" series based on the opinions of Roland Barthes

As one of the most prominent theorists in the field of culture, Roland Barthes proposed and studied the clothing system. As a symbolic system, the clothing system has many elements that have a specific function for conveying concepts. This system plays a significant role in describing the states and moods of people, social classes, climate, ethnicity, and social identity. In the film and series production industry, they use this element as a sign for characterization in the film and to make the actor's role better seen. The current research tries to analyze and examine the  women's clothes in the series «Dar Cheshm-e Baad” (In the Eyes of the Wind) as a sign from the perspective of Roland Barthes. The research method is descriptive and analytical, and the necessary and required information has been collected with a library method. The obtained results show that the design of clothes has a significant role with a set of symbolic codes and sign elements that include form, shape, volume, texture, design, color, material, and fabric. There is a description of women’s cultural, social, and political position in the stated series aligned with the story’s narrative course and the actors’ acting.
