My Uncle Jamshid Khan, a novel by Bakhtiar Ali, portrays the fate of displaced individuals who have no stable place to settle or find security. Through the central conceptual metaphor of “wind”, the novel depicts the experiences of contemporary life and the powerlessness and homelessness of the Kurdish individual, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s. In this way, the metaphor of wind expresses displacement, political crisis, ideological conflict, and the contemporary challenges confronting the protagonist, Jamshid Khan. This study employs Conceptual Metaphor Theory, based on the approach of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, to examine the metaphor of wind and its relationship to socio-political issues. The conceptual metaphors in the novel—including the wind of nature, war, love, religion, journey, cyberspace, and ownership—each represent linguistic and social dimensions of the Kurdish individual's life. The findings suggest that, by intertwining reality and imagination, My Uncle Jamshid Khan offers a linguistic attempt to portray the life and experiences of the Kurdish people. Accordingly, the novel can be read as a literary narrative of the displacement and homelessness of the Kurdish nation.
