Translated by Paul Perron and Frank Collins. Quoted in relevant part from the back cover: "In recent years, the disciplines of philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and psychology have increasingly focused on the states of emotion and passion. In what many consider a reaction to the abstraction of theory, certain scholars have now decided to explore whether various productions of the body can be folded into the space of epistemology. In this powerful and thought-provoking investigation of the multifaceted complexity of literary object-semiotics, Algirdas Julien Greimas and Jacques Fontanille explore the possibility that so-called subjective states - affect, feeling, emotion, passion, avarice, honor and jealousy - and their multiple mediations can have a semiotic existence. The Semiotics of Passions raises provocative questions: What are the necessary conditions for the existence of passion? Can passion be submitted to a logic of language? Does passion allow systemic semiotic transformations? Starting from the premise that a meaningful world involves the 'subject' in the 'stateof arrairs,' Greimas's and Fontanille's investigation of complex 'psychic states' takes them through texts in philosophy and literature from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, including the works of Descartes, Spinoza, Shakespeare, and Proust. Singular in its approach to this fascinating topic, The Semiotics of Passions will advance and refine semiotics in general and literary semiotics in particular." SHIPS from Eugene, Oregon, USA.
