Abstract | |
By the time the interest in affections arose in Paris School (Greimassian) semiotics, the issue of enunciation, of the discourse in act had not been significantly raised yet. A proposal for a study in the field of the enunciated discourse was then put forward. Even though signs and characteristics of another universe of signification - the sensitive one - were perceived, the analysis of the enunciated discourse remained primarily oriented by the grammar of action, widely developed in the theoretical-methodological scope of this field of study. Since then passions have been seen from the theoretical perspective as an arrangement of modalities, as signification effects of modal qualifications which alter the subject\'s state. Modal articulation definitely helps to define the subject\'s way of being, which not only makes the narrative scheme more sensitive but also rules it, identifying the subject \'s states in the narrative. In fact, the modal articulation provides the basis for the pathos configuration, as modal arrangements define both the subject\'s being and the conflict which characterizes the subject\'s state of feelings, making it possible to notice the manifestation phases of the enunciated affections and their role in the creation of a given passion. On the other hand, modalities by themselves do not explain excess - the intensity of the modulations underlying the modal structure and making it more sensitive. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to expand and restructure the semiotic model of passion analysis, showing the legitimacy and the improvements resulting from the incorporation of perceptive circumstances, the articulation between sensitive aspects and intelligible ones used as constituent and defining devices to outline a given integration of affections. Retrieving the discussion presented in the introductory pages of The Semiotics of passions (Greimas; Fontanille, 1992) as well as in some chapters of Tension and signification (Fontanille; Zilberberg, 1998), we intend to defend the idea, based on the analysis of similar passions such as compassion and pity, that it is not only important to examine the structural modalities in the passionate nucleus but it is also mostly important to focus on the preconditions of such modal articulation conceiving a passion as a result of sensitive and intelligible correlations. We will therefore consider the junction state, which characterizes subject and object, the semiotic existence, as a relation of perception in which the issue of modulations and discourse in act is dominant. It is also relevant for this study to understand the configuration process of the emotional interaction in the actual manifestation of the semiosis event, for which we propose an analysis of affections. As well as dealing with the enunciated subject\'s passions and the enunciator\'s passionate discourse, this analysis aims to highlight the passionate emergency of the intersubjective relation and the enunciating conditions of its creation process (AU) |
