Abstract
Climate is one of the concepts whose reflection can be sought linguistically in the text of literary works. One of the best vehicles and platforms for describing climate and its constituent components are novels that are narrated in a specific climatic space, relying on local-indigenous components. Tuqi can be considered one of the novels in which local-indigenous components are abundant. Therefore, this novel has the potential for analysis with an emphasis on the theory of climatic identity. In this research, using the qualitative analysis method, we have tried to find the indigenous-local components in Tuqi's novel and analyze them with an emphasis on the theory of climatic identity. The findings of this research show that the climatic identity in Tuqi's novel is not the result of a single component, but rather a networked, multilayered, and biocosmic construct that is formed in a close connection between place, body, livelihood, social ethics, and cultural rituals. The analysis of the examples suggests that climate in this novel does not merely play the role of narrative background, but rather, as an active force, organizes the various areas of the characters' lived experience. Climate identity is a multi-layered construct that begins with place and climate, is lived in the corporeality of experience, is established in livelihoods and habits, is judged in social ethics, and is reproduced in ritual and belief. This network structure allows for a coherent explanation of evidence and prevents the reduction of analysis to mere description.
