Abstract

The School of Paris was characterized by two orientations: the meaning organized by the semiotic circleand the priority of narrativity. It then turned its attention to the semiotics of the sensible world and practices. The sign and the text are no longer the exclusive object of this school, but rather the actant (character), his act and his interaction with other actants (characters). The semiotics of the passions presents an important moment in the future of semiotics by drawing on the Greimassian approach to serve states of mind. The semiotics of the passions revolves around and enriched by modal syntax. An enrichment that results from taking into account the becoming of phoria and aspect. Believing, for its part, has become more important, as have valences as the proper marks of feeling. We can, on the other hand, mention other achievements such as moralization and sensitization, which consider the subject as an interactor that mediates between inter and exteroceptivity. From the 1990s onwards, we speak of a more recent tensive semiotics, a post-passionate semiotics, which it is a relatively logical extension. It proposed a model that took over from narrativity and integrated assets and three perspectives: a phenomenological perspective focused on presence, a tensive perspective qualified as structuralist and rhetorical;and a generative perspective. Also because of its interest in the sensitive subject, tensive semiotics appears to be an evolution of the semiotics of passions and the semiotics of J. C. Coquet’s instances. Her interest is also in the field of presence, in the tensive schema that governs intensity and extent, and in valences. This tensive semiotics attempts to replace the developments of Greimasian semiotics through two approaches: that of Cl. Zilberberg, who established a “tensive rhetoric” with specific units; andthat of J. Fontanille, who has integrated tensivity into a generative path of meaning where the tensive space must assume the function previously entrusted to the notion of conversion in the Greimasian generative path.
