Tensive enunciation in dialogue

Abstract

By unveiling the sensible dimension of texts in an operational way and by proposing the perspective of a dynamic system, Zilberberg and others allowed some openings for greimasian semiotics that realigned the theory to contemporary challenges that would escape the scope of initial proposals. We follow a path that allows us to aim for an integrated view of the two enunciation conceptions already established in the theory - the enunciation as conceived by Greimas and the tensive enunciation. For that we pull the thread of the process of identity construction through the concept of junction to show how the subject of the greimasian enunciation can be united with the tensive praxis. We establish a parallel of the categories of person, space and time of the discursive level with the organizing perceptive deixis of the tensive flows, understood in the form of space-time depths organized from the perspective of an observer. We propose to relate time and space with temporality and spatiality, both elements that line off the situation of interlocution organized by an observer who at the discursive level controls the delegation of voices and in the tensive arena rules “despotically” the constitutive increases and decreases of our experience, the same increases and decreases that, not by chance, Zilberberg calls aspect.
