Amaç: Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, doğum eylemi tarihine ilişkin görsellerin görsel ve anlamsal özelliklerini yorumlamak için göstergebilimsel metodolojiden yararlanmaktır.
Yöntem: Çalışmada dilbilimsel ve figüratif bileşenlerden oluşan 'göstergebilimsel metodoloji' kullanılmıştır. Roland Barthes'ın kuramına dayanan bu çalışmada, 1 Aralık 2023 ile 15 Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında Google Görseller'de yer alan görseller düzanlam, yananlam ve sembolizm gibi kavramlar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Göstergebilimsel olarak analiz edilen tüm görsellerde, doğum sırasında kadınların desteklenmesi, güçlendirilmesi ve mahremiyetinin sağlanmasının önemli olduğu belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca özellikle Mısır ve Antik Roma eserleri ebeleri tanrılaştırmış ve ne kadar önemli bir meslek olduklarını ifade etmiştir.
Sonuç: Araştırma sonucumuzda incelenen görsellerin kadının doğum eylemi sırasında ebe tarafından desteklenmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte varlığını artıran doğumda tıbbileşmenin sürekli ebe desteği ile aşılabileceği ve ebelerin bu konuda daha fazla politikaya ihtiyaç duyduğu görülmektedir.

A SEMIOTIC APPROACH TO THE HISTORY OF CHILDBIRTH

Öz

Aim: The primary objective of this study is to utilize semiotic methodology to interpret the visual and semantic features of the images related to the history of childbirth.
Methods:‘Semiotic methodology’ consisting of linguistic and figurative components was employed in the study. Based on Roland Barthes’ theory, the current study evaluated the images available on Google Images from December 1, 2023, to December 15, 2023, within the scope of concepts such as denotative meaning, connotative meaning, and symbolism.
Results: In all the images analyzed semiotically, it is stated that it is important to support, empower and ensure the privacy of women during childbirth. In addition, especially Egyptian and Ancient Roman artifacts deified midwives and expressed how important a profession they are.
Conclusion: The visuals analyzed in our research emphasize the importance of the midwife's support during the woman's labor. It is seen that medicalization in childbirth, which increases its presence with developing technology, can be overcome with continuous midwife support and midwives need more policies in this regard.
