Discursive Space Diffusion on Religious and Scientific Field

Abstract

Our sanction doing, responsible for the delimitation of totalities, established, in the religious and scientific discursive field, discursive formation subgroups which correspond to the discursive space of religious and scientific diffusion. In order to achieve our objectives, the theoretical basis used here consists on Greimas’s Semiotics’ concepts, French Discourse Analysis, incorporated in Semiotics by Maingueneau, philosophy of language and Bakhtin’s dialogism principles. We also consider the project of reformularization of the semiotic model, proposed by Greimas and Fontanille, associated with the epistemological and technical improvements to the model introduced by Zilberberg. We will observe the subject of perception, not only as the cognitive subject that pairs up with the narrator of the discursive level, but as the observer who apprehends the world according to a pace and, when printing a rhythm in its speeches, helps in defining the ethos. We will determine how the texts that materialize the religious diffusion reach certain rhythmic specificities so that the enunciative scene is established. Thus, we will establish in more detail the guidelines of the mechanisms of meaning construction that build enunciates materializing the discourse of religious diffusion. By observing the recurrence of the mechanisms of construction of the meaning of texts, we will reflect on the notions of “religious diffusion” discourse and “scientific diffusion” discourse. Both types of discourse compose the discursive space of totalities in confrontation and are related to the shared enunciative scene in which it is proposed a make-believed and a doing-known, be it on the revealed word or on the scientific discoveries.
