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 The Hour of the Star (Clarice Lispector) and in the painting The Hour of Macabéa (Joel DuMara) a pragmatist proposal of semiotic understanding. Theoretically, it relates issues of interaction of verbal and non-verbal texts and the systematicity of semiotics from Pierce (2017). One visualizes the contact of art, what it provides and what it can bring opportunities 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 the language and makes it possible to relate the similarities of the object and its representamen (expression). For Aristotle (2014) the "art" that used the word became known as Literature. Methodologically, these understandings contribute as proposals of concepts and semiotic analyses about the materials chosen for this study, with reflections of the second trichotomy of the classification of the signs outlined by Pierce and referring to language: the symbol, the index and the icon. However, in the arts proposed for interrelation and reflections: The Hour of the Star and The Hour of Macabéa one finds inter-semiotic relations and effects that the sign has on the interpreter reader, so it is believed that by understanding and appropriating the codes of reading and artistic creation one acquires values and knowledge related to language, art and their own ideologies.
