后格雷马斯时代巴黎学派符号学研究的三条路径

Three Paths of Semiotic Research in the Post-Greimas Paris School

法国是符号学研究的滥觞之地,是欧洲符号学研究和发展的中心,其中以格雷马斯为代表的巴黎符号学派更是引领了20世纪下半叶文艺理论的风潮。该学派早期研究以叙述符号学为核心,突出纷繁的文本形式下的形象建构、逻辑语义和叙述语法。格雷马斯逝去之后,巴黎符号学派的研究并没有停止,在借鉴话语分析、认知科学和现象学的成果之上,发展出了三条独特的研究路径,即激情符号学、主体符号学和张力符号学研究。它们之间虽然研究的侧重点不同,但由于都是承继格雷马斯符号学的衣钵,并以语言学为基础,又充分借鉴现象学等其他学科知识,最终展现出高度的互补性和融合性,成为研究情感、身体和张力的重要理论方法。

As the birthplace of semiotics and the center of European semiotic research and development,France,particularly the Paris School of Semiotics led by Algirdas Julien Greimas,spearheaded the trajectory of literary theory in the second half of the twentieth century.The early research of this school centered on narrative semiotics,emphasizing figurative construction,logical semantics,and narrative grammar within complex textual forms.Following Greimas’s passing,the research of the Paris School continued to evolve.Building on achievements of discourse analysis,cognitive science,and phenomenology,three distinctive research approaches emerged:the semiotics of passions,subjective semiotics,and tensive semiotics.While their research emphases differ,they all carry forward the legacy of Greimas’s semiotics.Rooted in linguistics and drawing extensively from other disciplines such as phenomenology,they exhibit a high degree of complementarity and integration,establishing themselves as a crucial theoretical framework for the study of emotion,body,and tension.
