O quadro semiótico de Greimas aplicado à obra O Sermão da Selva, de Max Carphentier

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the elements of the generative path of meaning according to Fundamental Level in the book O Sermão da Selva (1982), by the Amazonian writer Max Carphentier, taking into account the application of Greimas' semiotic framework, evidencing man's feeling for the place he lives. This analysis was developed using the inductive method in a bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, through a detailed study of the work in question, using the convictions of theorists and critics who delved into the proposed theme, among which we can remark: Barros (2001), Santaella (1983) and Fiorin (2011). Through the study of the generative route of meaning in semiotics, we sought to verify and understand concepts that are not always addressed or perceived in a literary text, if it is treated in isolation. The analyzes and discussions of the research confirm that it is possible to carry out the analysis based on the approach of Greimasian semiotics, evaluating the discourse and thus tracing the generative course of meaning such as: Euphoria and Dysphoria
