Cái tôi hiện sinh qua mã ký hiệu không gian - thời gian trong thơ Nguyễn Đức Sơn

Abstract

This article applies the theoretical framework of literary semiotics to analyze the poetry of Nguyễn Đức Sơn in order to elucidate the existential sensibility embedded in his artistic world. The study focuses on two central semiotic codes: the code of contemplative space and the code of subjective time. In Nguyễn Đức Sơn's poetry, space is not merely an external backdrop but is internalized, becoming a symbolic domain through which solitude, exile, and existential doubt of the lyrical self are expressed. Time, likewise, does not operate linearly; instead, it manifests as a fragmented stream of consciousness, where memory, present experience, and anticipation coexist. Through decoding the semiotic structure of his poetry, the article argues that Nguyễn Đức Sơn’s work constitutes an ontological discourse rich in philosophical depth, demonstrating that poetry is not only a linguistic art form but also a means of perceiving and questioning human existence in an unstable and absurd world.
