Abstract :

  The concept of cultural semiotics are existed by semioticians as the first concept that needed more consideration in cultural elements gathering respect. This knowledge provides deep understanding of ones and others culture by use of cultural elements. Shahname of Ferdosi is one of good examples between multi-cultural texts by dealing with different ethnic groups. So we try to consider the story rejection and expulsion of Siavash in cultural semiotic respect and his position from his and others point of views by descriptive and analytical methods in this study. This study wants to specify why Siavash is known among his family and also others as a stranger. We want to expand the scope of cultural semiotic studies and also use the analytical tools in related text. The results show that  Siavash is known as a stranger not only between Tooranian (as others), but also in his home land. From the point of view of one of his relatives (his father), he is a problematic person and should stay away from government. In this respect he is known as others.
