SEMIOTICS AND ITS ASPECTS IN THE TEXTS A HORA DA ESTRELA E A HORA DE MACABÉA: an intervention proposal

Abstract

The objective is to reflect in the text A Hora da Estrela (Clarice Lispector) and in the painting A Hora de Macabéa (Joel DuMara) a pragmatist proposal of semiotic understanding.Theoretically, it relates issues of interaction between verbal and non-verbal texts and the systematicity of semiotics from Pierce (2017). The contact of art is visualized, what it provides and what opportunities it can bring between what is stamped on a canvas or on the pages of a book.For Pierce (1999, 2017) and Wilson and Martelotta (2017) the sign, as a thing, carries definitions in language and makes it possible to relate the similarities of the object and its representamen (expression). For Aristotle (2014) the “art” that was used of the word became known as Literature.Methodologically, these understandings contribute as proposals for concepts and semiotic analyzes about the materials chosen for this study, with reflections on the second trichotomy of the classification of signs outlined by Pierce and referring to language: the symbol, the index and the icon.However, in the arts proposed for the interrelationship and reflections of A Hora da Estrela and A Hora de Macabéa, inter-semiotic relations and effects that the sign has on the interpreter reader can be found, so it is believed that by understanding and appropriating the reading codes and artistic creation if they acquired values and knowledge related to language, art and their own ideologies.
