La construction de la syntaxe narrative : histoire et perspectives

Özet

In the first part of this paper, we reassess the steps and the three main jumps, or ruptures, responsible for the coming about of semiotic studies of narrativity: from the Proppian functions to narrative utterances; from the subject’s performance to their competence and their competence and modal existence; from modality to passions. In the second part, we point out the new paths and perspectives in development. One main new proposal is considered here: the semiotic study of passions, which, having preconditions of meaning, resolve many of the difficulties faced in earlier semiotic treatments of passions and esthesis.
