Abstract

Considering that the studies of A. J. Greimas, since Structural Semantics (1966), have always reserved a privileged space for the analysis of literary texts, this article seeks to point out its importance for the developments that the semiotic building would have from On Imperfection (1987), the last book of individual authorship of the semioticist. In this perspective, we highlight Greimas’ gaze on the literary fragments that he takes as a corpus in the volume, which ends up being a praise of literature and the capacity that has to call attention to other ways of seeing and (re)signifying the everyday world of individuals, by providing an aesthetic enjoyment to its utterances.
